I bought a k4 PL on his website in April 2021 via Paypal, it's almost been 2 years but i still haven't received the camera. Tried to contact him through IG, Max's personal IG, email, and website, haven't got a response after Jan 2022. Filed a Paypal report but it's  closed because his paypal account has been suspended, now calling Paypal for an endless fight. His website is down now, and he disabled people to comment on his posts.

Yea he's a scammer sadly. Many people have struggled with him. I'm sorry you've been dealing with it.

From his website (https://www.shtrihfilm.ru/) it seems like he is working on two new 16mm camera models. They look very good honestly, like a new version of the a-minima.

the Krasnogorsk movement and the fragile-ish tiny in-built motor are, in addition to the high price, the main issues with this camera design.

-------------------------

just for comparison, people have fitted Krasnogorsk 3 with Super16, PL mount, installing my 2-speed crystal motor to it and diy video tap and it costs something between 2k and 2.5k even if a technician does the installation. With the advanced 10-speed panel one gets the K3 with S16, PL mount, 20 crystal speeds + variable for somewhere around 2.5k which is half the price of the "strihfilm-camera" , is much more durable and has better warranty and does NOT support the Putin's war effort. That is much more balanced by my opinion, pretty fast to get in working condition and actually possible to get reliably .

No need to bother with the K4, I think, it is a cool gadget but has no much real use because of the reliablity issues and high price.
