Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty has issued a statement on the company’s Facebook page announcing that they have had to increase the prices of their products across the board due to inflation.
Blackmagic products have always been very competitively priced and although nobody likes price increases, it is good to see a company come out and state why prices will be increased. With a lot of manufacturers, the prices just get raised without them making any formal announcement.
Below you can read the full statement:
Hi,
Due to inflation we have had to raise the price of some products today. Most price rises are quite small, but a few higher end products have risen more. It’s a bit upsetting for us to have to raise prices as we have worked hard over the past year to keep prices stable. However, the good news is we have been able to reduce the price of a few products as well.
Overall we are hoping that the price increases for materials and electronic components might reverse in the future. Generally when prices rise, it’s due to availability issues and often suppliers increase manufacturing capacity in response. So what this means is it could cause a glut of electronic components in the future. If that happens, we will be able to go back to our normal culture of reducing prices from time to time. We will keep an eye on our suppliers and pass on savings when we can.
