360º video of all Decent in stock
On the Decent Queue page https://decentespresso.com/queue every model has a link to a page of videos for every machine in stock.
- Click on a model https://decentespresso.com/snview?sku=DE-DE1PRO220V5-00471 and you'll get a still image of every machine in stock, from the 360º video we took.
- Click on the serial number https://decentespresso.com/sn360?sn=4875 of a machine and you get a 4k quality video of that machine, shot in a light box. You can even download the 4k video and keep it as a record.
- If there's a machine that you would particularly like to have, mention it in your notes when you buy and we'll send you that one.
The goal here is real transparency. You get to see precisely the machine you'd receive if you bought.
- At 4k resolution, using a good Sony camera on a tripod and good lighting, you can really see a lot.
- Previously, these videos were only available to those who had paid, as part of the “choose your machine” process.
Also, the video is permanently linked to your online invoice at https://decentespresso.com/support/orders so you can–at any time in the lifetime ownership of your machine–view this video.
Two caveats:
- we're currently uploading all the v1.43 videos we've made, both of machines in stock and all the v1.43 we've made and sold. That's about 1000 videos, and will take us another week or two to complete.
- it turns out that new versions of Google Chrome won't play .mp4 videos any more, because they're promoting their .webm video format. Firefox and Safari play them just fine. So, I'm making an OGV video file of every video, just for Chrome. This takes about 10 minutes per video (!) so Chrome users will wait a week for all videos to work.
