I have four sets of pinstadiums. Looking at placing an order for Hovers today or tomorrow. When would they be expected to ship?

Also, is there an install video available? Love your products and you have excellent production quality in your videos but I feel like I never really know exactly what I am getting until it arrives.
Just looking for a "you get a,b and c in a box. Unpack them, do xyz and you are good to go"
Thus demonstrating the simple install
Don't get me wrong. It is your business and I will continue to be a customer regardless. But for example I didn't buy orions belt when it was first announced because I couldn't really figure out exactly what it was or how it worked.
Yes I agree. Basic, actual photos of the product, how to install it, complete with a video of an installation of each product would go a long way.
Quoted from majicman110:I have four sets of pinstadiums. Looking at placing an order for Hovers today or tomorrow. When would they be expected to ship?
Hopefully soon, I thought he said this week they were going to start shipping. 
Quoted from PinRob:Hopefully soon, I thought he said this week they were going to start shipping.
Saw that. Wasnt sure if this run was all sold out
Quoted from majicman110:I have four sets of pinstadiums. Looking at placing an order for Hovers today or tomorrow. When would they be expected to ship?
It’s going to be a few weeks as I work to fill the current orders from this run. They will be shipped in the order received.

Great feedback and I’m working to improve that even more. There are a bunch of pics in this thread of how to install and where/what they look like. I have been collecting those and putting them on the item description the best I can. Here is a link where I show them (1:32:30) and talk in detail about the Hovers:
Quoted from PinRob:Hopefully soon, I thought he said this week they were going to start shipping.
The goal was to have them start coming out at the end of this week, but with a change I have made for the better I would say it should be next week as a more accurate shipping time. I found that I could give full covers in the lateral install on the sides if I made a pair of medium Hovers in place of 2 of the Tall Hovers. So this means there will be the following:
2x Tall Hovers
2x Medium Hovers
2x Baby Hovers
This was a huge deal and when you get them it will make more sense. This will give you the ability to mount them anywhere on the sides of the playfield as previous with the other 2 Tall Hovers there was a gap where you could not physically install them. I have updated the contents pic to represent that also.

Here is the link to the installation of them: https://pinstadium.com/hover_installation_led_pinball_lights/
I also update the link to the You Tube video so that when you click on it you will go to the exact part where chuckwurt and I explain/show them. Additionaly I put the links now on the Hover item listing on the website to help answer those kinds of questions. Thanks for the suggestion:

Just updated the official GI connection for Pin Stadium for Willy Wonka. Incredible transformation on this machine!!!
https://pinstadium.com/installation-instructions/
Go to Step 1, JJP/Wonka
A few have asked about the flasher location for Willy Wonka and I will post that up once I have the best recommended location figured out. Wow a lot of Wonka owners are getting Pin Stadiums, thanks for the outstanding support for the product!!
Here is the direct link to the Fusions on the Pin Stadium website. I have been making some updates: https://pinstadium.com/product/pin-stadium-fusion/
pinball_bulbs_led_lights_mod (resized).pngQuoted from pinstadium:It is only going to be 3-4 weeks but likely much sooner though. Also many have asked about the BLUR and that is to come once I get enough Hovers out there on machines then I will deploy the BLUR in perfect timing as I finalize those. So basically it’s going towards a good cause when you order the Hovers now as I have this scheduled out from a manufacturing standpoint since I’m a one man show. You guys can speed this up tremendously if you keep ordering these Hovers at the rate you are already. Don't be shy, lol!! Maybe I will start a BLUR meter that shows how many we need to reach our goal.
What's the new expected shipping date for Hover?
Quoted from MadPole:What's the new expected shipping date for Hover?
The goal is to get the first few of them out this coming week and from that point they will start trickling out in order from there. As soon as they ship I will email tracking to everyone also. Fusions and Hovers are going to be a wicked combo !!

Thanks!

There are some codes out there you could use. Message sent
The connection for GI (Blue/White) cable for the Pin Stadiums on Oktoberfest is going to be in the backbox on the LED strip they have in there from the factory. This syncs amazing with this machine!!

Quoted from PinRob:It’s almost Friday
I am assembling Hovers as we speak, when the first one ships it will updated here. Almost there! Going great over here and tons of work going on, yay!!
Just updated the code on Game Of Thrones and everyone is right it’s a game changer for sure. The best part about it is undoubtedly the wizardry that Dwight put into the lightshow( major changes). This just took it to a whole new level when combining it with the Pin Stadiums. Speechless!!! Thanks Dwight

These will begin to trickle out of the Pin Stadium factory to fill all of the orders over the next couple weeks. As soon as your order is ready I will immediately send tracking information and also if you have ordered Fusions and Pin Stadiums with them, then those will ship together. Excited for you all to get them!!

During this time of production I have made some great improvements to the Hovers so much so that I refined their appearance with a subtle yet noticeable artistic styling that also increased rigidity in the vertebrate system of the supports which provides some huge benefits to the "sneak in" feature ability of these to get in some very tight spaces. Lots of improvements to the point that I will say that these are truly Hover 2.0 and the good news is that you guys all get automatically upgraded to these as this is the standard I want to live up to. 
Always trying to make things better when I can. I appreciate you being patient as I produce these and get them shipping out. I am very thankful also for your continued outstanding support for the Pin Stadium products. Super exciting stuff!!!

Found the instructions for Hover, disregard

Quoted from PinRob:Found the instructions for Hover, disregard

Okay great let me know if you have any questions. Email me at [email protected]
I have made some updates for the instructions section of the website so it’s even easier to use and simpler to select the specific product instructions. Check it out:
https://pinstadium.com/installation-instructions-4/
As much as these illustrations are neat looking, I think installation would greatly benefit from some real pics and videos of the product. The part that I'm trying to grok right now is the whole pinching/trimming of the invisi-shield on the Fusions. It sounds perilous. I personally would greatly appreciate if you could somehow show this step at least in a video. Maybe it will make more sense once the Hovers are in hand. Maybe the illustrations make more sense to you since you've been working with them for so long. Again, a good installation video will go a long way.

I know what you mean and I’m working on an animated tutorial video that more clearly demonstrates how to do install them so it will be a great accompany to the instructions. Also once you have them in hand it will make more sense too.
Additionally there are some other customers working on putting together actual video install walkthroughs too
Feel free to share any footage or tips here also.
How backed up are you on orders? I know you said that they started to ship. Any expected date by which you expect to have all backorders shipped out? Just curious if I'm going to be waiting a few days or a couple weeks.
I actually have some maintenance to do on my machines and these will be super helpful. Looking forward to not messing with the pinstadiums anymore when raising and lowering the playfield.

By the time I get them all shipped out it’ll be a couple weeks but some are going out every day.
Quoted from pinstadium:By the time I get them all shipped out it’ll be a couple weeks.
They're going out so fast it's all turning into a blur. Speaking of which...where are you on blur availability?
Quoted from littlecammi:They're going out so fast it's all turning into a blur. Speaking of which...where are you on blur availability?
That’s funny and I like that! The Blur will be released later on. No definite time yet as I need to get Hovers out in greater quantity for a while along with still working on design of the BLUR. Let’s just say that it’s turning into a much more complex design to be effective. But what doesn’t. 
Uhm, ok? Just waiting fer my Hovers...
Great product, btw. Keeps improving AND backwards compatibility too.

Thanks and yes I am literally cranking night and day building and shipping them. Got slammed and I appreciate everyone's patience. Production is going great.
Here is my Willy Wonka SE with the Pin Stadium lights. I love it and consider it a must have mod. Not only does it brighten up the playfield allowing you to see more areas and allow the details like the candy items to pop, but it also eliminates the need for PDI/Inivisiglass in my opinion. Notice the Willy Wonka words glare on the glass in the Before picture that are mostly gone (and not noticeable when playing the game) once the Pin Stadiums are installed. I installed the GI connections of the Pin Stadium to the Wonkavision spotlight (like in the Pin Stadium instructions said) and the UV/Flasher connectors to the shaker motor connections. The settings on the Pin Stadium in the picture are Blue (R 0, G 0, B 255) with Brightness 100% and Warm White 100%. I may try different colors and percentages within the Pin Stadium mobile app, but I like these for now. Scott also was great with customer service and spoke to me over the phone to help me figure out that I had the GI and UV/Flashers connectors swapped on the Pin Stadium controller.
See the before and after pictures (in that order) below.

It’s all good. High end product has high end demand. So....
It’s YOUR fault!

Thanks and yes that is so true. I slammed myself in a good way. Just didn’t know how big of a demand there was going to be for them.
Speaking of which I also just completed the first run of the Pin Stadium X-Streams for the PAPA stream this coming weekend at Replay FX Pinburgh. Finished them up tonight!
Pin Stadium will be doing the lighting again for the Final 12 but this time with a whole new product designed just for streamers. I only made 20 of them so if you are a Twitch streamer with Affiliate status or an IFPA Director then you are eligible to purchase these. First come first serve and I will have them with me at Pinburgh available for purchase at the event.

Wow what a great post and very detailed. Great example of the Before and After also.
I’m super appreciative of the fact that you are impressed with the results on your machine. However what impressed me was that you are a first time Pin Stadium customer and even posted up your specific RGB settings in the app for Willy Wonka for others. Very cool!!
Also thanks for your recent order you just placed again for your 2nd set already after just getting these for Wonka on Friday.
I thought I was pretty quick on the draw getting my Hovers order in, but still no shipping notice. Only ordered 2 sets, but imagine others ahead of me may have ordered many more sets. Could really use them asap since all the recent modding I've done has really been hard on the magna-mounts, which are barely holding their grip anymore.

Yes everyone was quick on the draw with ordering them and it was like crazy pandemonium as soon as they went live. I know everyone is excited and anxious to get them. As always I will deliver but this is a big production run a little larger than expected. The Hovers are continuing to roll out each day. I appreciate your patience and believe me I will send tracking immediately when they are ready for everyone. I have it set up in my system to be instantaneous.
All good and full speed ahead.
