How is the shutter speed automatic? How and why does it change from 1/250s to 1/160s?

The regular shutter speed is set to 1/250s. But we have a pin weight that comes with Jollylook, it can be inserted into the top part viewfinder , that makes it 1/160s. In manual mode, When you press the shutter-release button - the shutter stays open untill you press the release button again.

where to set my delivery address?

Kickstarter doesn’t ask for shipping details when you back a project, because there’s a chance that certain backers will have different addresses by the time we are ready to ship. We will ask for your shipping details when we send out our backer survey, which will be emailed to you after the project ends and shortly before we ship.

You ask to store Jollylook in a dark place - why? Can the film somehow get damaged through the paper/ cardboard?

These are standard recommendation for all photosensitive materials in packaging. But if you leave Jollylook in the living room, no disaster will happen :-)

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
