Current Status (As of Feb 1st)
We will show you the actual images of every single part of our product up to date.
1. Exploded View v. Actual Outputs
'Exploded View'
'Actual Outputs'
We will explain what those are. These are called PP(Pre-Production) product. Basically, they are the outcomes right before the actual mass production. Every manufacturing company has to go through the PP process before they actually start any mass production if they care about the quality.
The PP product is made for the experimental production phase. It is produced to find out problems that we did not expect from our designing stage with the modeling data that we shared last time. Sometimes what we see from the computer screen is different once it comes out to the real life. If we find out any issue from the PP product, we indicate the problems to the manufacturer and they compensate the defects. Also, by assembling the product, we can check out the details of each component. Most importantly, every component has a design intended function and we must double check whether it works well or not by assembling them. In our case, we are producing 1,000 PP product and some of them are already compensated it's defect.
2. Lens Frame
We would like to show a hidden wire. The wire is installed inside of the frame. The wire connects the battery to the PCV module. Thus, we cut the lens frame in half to show you the wire that we put inside. The frame is holing the wire so tight that it will not be moving around the frame.
3. Right Leg
The right leg has a touch pad, a PCV module, a power button and etc. As you see from the images below, some of you may ask us why the right leg has more components than the other side. It is because to keep the balance equal to the left leg. Also because there are more right handed people in the world, the control pad is on the right side.
4. Left Leg
This is where the battery goes inside. The battery is one of the heaviest components of Zungle Panther.(BUT, it is still light :)) As it is mentioned above, keeping the balance is one of our goals and it worked well. Check out the images below.
5. Speakers
The speakers, the most important part of Zungle Panther, are located at the end of each leg. The silver round shaped ones are the speakers. Then, a couple of silicon components and plastic components are surrounding the speakers. The surroundings prevent delivering the vibration from the speakers to the lens frame. Then, you will only be able to feel the vibration from the speakers.
6. Complete Product
We all know you have been waiting for this. We won't talk much. Let's see it.
