Looks like a nice design, on top of a lid similar to the area 419 lexan upgrade.
 
Other than the clear top, I'm not sure how much better the V4 is over the V3.
It certainly looks "###ier" than the V2., but its apparently just as fast as the V3... so I am not sure what the improvements are in terms of functionality ?

Two tubes, two motors, one process.

Inspired by an auger (and refined through simulation, testing, and iteration), a large tube with deep spiral grooves pours a large amount of powder in a controlled manner, allowing flow rates up to 50 grains per second, and ramping down smoothly to within 1 grain of the target. A smaller tube then completes the charge within a kernel in roughly the same overall time as V3.

No seperate trickler, all in one.
Which will make for a seamless design.

Myself, running a few different powders, I forecast having less adjustments between powder charges and easier drainage for powder brand switch.

I had already paid and waiting for the V3 to replace my V2, couldn’t pass this up!

But judging from his post concerning the V4, that V3 orders may be changed for V4 if not shipped yet, I wouldn’t see why not for a V2-to-V3 update
 
I like the fact that it feeds both the main and trickle from one hopper instead of two different sources. Not having to fine tune the chamber volume on the auto throw will save some time too.

Cool very cool.
Adam will probably switch your prepaid order for a V3 towards a V4.
Being on the board of the SPRA, from what I understand about him he is a very committed entrepreneur -a real people pleaser. We started to use his ShotMarkers for all our targets a couple years ago. The directors who dealt with him had very positive reviews on how well he was to communicate with on getting that project done.
 
Little less clutter on the bench with the V4 setup. I finally broke down and ordered a scale, put my name on the list for the V4 No doubt it'll be an interesting change and learning curve.
