I don't usually reply due to obvious reasons, like non commercial thinking like this. However, I was looking at a good link to advise people disappointed by the craft camera failure, to go over here and see a more original concept.
Grant Petty, of Black Magic Design, years ago turned up on sunrise TV with the wave solder machine that did all the placement. Now, as others are saying here there must be heaps of contract manufacturers with these machines that can do it for you. Ultimately, as previously stated In yesteryear I think, contract manufacturing is the way to go with limited volume cheaply. This means production prototyping. The sort of numbers floated around here are way high, the supply as well as the manufacture chain needs to by tightened up and get parts prices down. This is all business stuff. If you want to run it as a business, talk to Rai Orz who did the Drachen camera in Germany (look up the Drachen Feader film). He has a good head on him.
Hope it ties well.
