Me too! I hope it works better on extruded powders. That is really the only thing that the V3 has issues with. But they are workable. Just not consistent.
I’m on the list and look forward to the new unit. I will run the V3 and the V4.
Im also on the list. Curious though, rendered image looks like the drop is off center, will the funnel be angled to drop the charge in the middle? Super excited about the design, cant wait to see real pictures though.
So, as mentioned previously I considered the options CE gave me with regard to my deposit on a V3 Autotrickler and decided convert my deposit and pick up the scale now.
I have put my name down for the V4 Autotrickler when available.

I havent asked them yet. Is this option to split the package deal where the cost is the same, and you get the scale ahead of time. Or you pay full price for both, when v4 is available?
I did. I chose to convert deposit for full V4 kit. The options didn’t state anything about price... if I recall. Only to purchase scale now and V4 when it arrives early fall.
The V4 looks great!
That said I’m going to stay with my V3 order and hope that I’m moving up the list as folks decide to order the 4. 5-10 months could very well take us into next year. I’m looking for something this season!
from ce:
“will not be available until Summer/Fall 2021(5-10 Months). The price will be the same as the V3”

This is where I ended up... I ordered a V3 a few weeks ago and saw the V4 drop... Tough decisions, but I recognize that it could potentially be end of the year. I stuck with the V3.
AutoTrickler V4 is in development. More info here:

AutoTrickler V4 Since the original AutoTrickler was invented in 2016, it has become the go-to solution for long range shooters who need to measure accurate powder charges quickly. While the core concept of precisely dispensing onto a lab quality balance has never changed, the mechanical design...macdonald-shop.myshopify.com

Is there a projected price point?

Looked to be working in his video? Perhaps his parts are 'delayed' from the China covid syndrome.
Do they even make precision stepper motors in the US?

Well, if you just do a straight linear extrapolation, they estimated June/July for beta testing, so if the beta units go out now, that'd be September/October for beta, so November and December for the first v3->v4 converted orders and first-batch pre-orders (group I'm in), respectively, and that's assuming beta doesn't take longer than they projected and there aren't part/inventory issues getting the production parts. That's all complete conjecture, though, so hopefully the update in the next few weeks will give a little more detail.
I get it, just not looking to going to my buddys to use the chargemaster I sold him…..I mean…..I drink a lot more over there, but I just don’t wanna go back to the chargemaster!
I'm there with you, I sold my v3 last week knowing I wouldn't be loading for a few months, but that's what I get for looking at complete guesswork timelines in the middle of a pandemic, hah! At least I still have my A&D FX-300i, I'll just be trickling by hand when the other one is busy!
It looked like in the demo, most of the control is now in a phone app. Hopefully any updates can be done over the air.
Well Poo, you can not buy just the V4 from CE Products only a complete kit (scale and V4).
I know this because I spoke to someone at CE and she suggested I head over to the MacDonald site to get my V4.
Now I wonder if its arrival will be Christmas 2022 and if so will it come properly wrapped for the Holiday.

Did the pre-order for this just come online?

I think that's been up for a bit already.
But, originally, you just put yourself on a waiting list without deposit. Curious how that's going to work.

Just received an E-mail from Adam saying its time to place my order. No specific ship date but should received it before the end of the year.
Just placed my order!
I was on the preorder list very early on.
The e-mail did say the Beta models would be going out next week.

Got the same. They are going to ship orders based on original date of interest from the release earlier this year, so rushing preorders for those who didn’t put in until later doesn’t seem like it will let you cut in line for those trying to be sneaky. 
Received my email today to pay for my V4. I have an early V3 conversion date - early March reservation date.
Hopefully we hear from those that receive the Beta test models. I am particularly interested how it meters the bigger kerneled powders like N570 and if it performs as well as the V3.
Based on reading the email he directly calls out N570 as one of the reasons for the new design, so I think we can expect it to work much better than v3 with that powder.
