At some point you have to lock the engineers out of the room and start shipping product. Otherwise the tinkering and quest for perfection goes on for ever. There will always be just one more update, one more mod. That being said, perhaps Rotorpixel's engineering should have been a bit further along before taking pre-orders with full payment in advance.
Hmm .. I have run a business .. successfully for 15 years with no MBA .. perhaps I should stop now?
There would be far worse consequences for any company if the first few hundred ship with defects, fragile parts or don't work as expected. The audience here is not a very forgiving one and Kerri was going to be lambasted no matter what course he took. Get the product good enough to ship is a prime requirement. If he judged it was not good enough then he is in the best position to do that.
No one is dying if they don't get the gimbal - a sense of perspective by all is really required.
Yup X2
