Wow, I wonder what will happen after the group buy when the price drops from $99 to the more normal price and regular folks start buying them? There might be another surge in sales.
I just received my 30Q’s which i ordered an hour or two after my Q8 (i think first 500). My tracking still doesn’t show on banggood or anywhere i have looked though. Hopefully my Q8 is not too far behind.
Good god everyone. Stop harassing customer support about your Q8. Take it easy, your Q8 will appear on your doorstep at some point. It has been in development for over a year, a few extra weeks are a drop in the bucket.
I don’t do pre-orders, ever. The only reason I placed this order was because I thought they were available already. I’ll give it another week and then cancel and move on.
I have held of buying a couple of other lights because they were too close in specs to this one.
I won’t do any more business with Banggood, China warehouse. I’ll continue to buy from the USA warehouse which I have done without problems.
Now to continue Hurricane clean up.
Noticed this night that http://dpdgroup.hk where I could find my parcels tracking has moved to a “domain parking service”. I’m curious what’s going on with DPD. Status of my parcels is “Waiting to fly away” for several days now.
I know it's confusing as heck, but it should ship by the end of this month, maybe sooner - think the 10-10 date is just to cover a worse case, or CYA thing, or didn't get updated.
At 1416 orders place now, but could be a mix now of BG non BLF pre-orders, but I'd think those #'s are small.
With some fiddling, like adding a compression strap to hold the light firmly down on the tripod-mount base.
I agree the threaded hole and threaded bolt would be the weak spot there.
And I’d test it with the nut light first — less drama if it broke and went flying.
> shipping
Knowing who’s doing the shipping matters to me.
Shipping performance is part of how I evaluate a company, their track record includes whether they screw up shipping things.
