[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Including that tripod adapter for the strap was a really good idea. Earlier I posted about making sure there’s enough depth so it wouldn’t have the problem I have with my Q8. By including the adapter, they bypass the issue. I doubt they caught my comment, so kudos to them for thinking ahead.

Okay, the my is coming by FedEx (Yes, not DHL) on the 23rd. No email from Neal, but a message straight from FedEx instead.

Normally 11/2 times the diameter for the depth of thread, 1/4-20 x 1.5= .375” (3/8”) is pretty much a standard minimum of thread engagement unless other wise noted by engineering. At least where I work.

Is there any statistics about buyers by country?
It would be interesting to see where in the world now there is an BLF GT cannons. :face_with_monocle:

Good to hear. Is there a ship date?
18th, 19th, 20th?

I’ll wait for a few more reports before updating page one.

I know DB knows, but for anyone else curious, I’d estimate about 160 “ish” watts. I’m not sure what the voltage sag is, but probably less than a pair of 26650 which tend to pull 17 to 19 amps (with 6v xhp70.2).

I am in the first 555 paid, registered shipping, no batteries to the UK & have not been posting in this thread just patiently waiting :slight_smile:
Am I right in thinking that the last of the first 555 DHL shipments have now been made & that next week the first of the non USA non DHL shipments will be sent ?

The whole 555 thing was about payments and prices. That is done. Now it is about the first 850 orders (#1 to #1049).

There are still USA DHL shipments to be made.

We don’t know what will be shipped next week as we haven’t figured out what all was shipped this week.

Yes, shipping label created on 19th, estimated ship date 20th, estimated arrival 23rd morning.

Thanks Jason as that was why I asked as I have found this thread a little difficult to follow where shipping is concerned.
So most of the first 555 have been shipped ?
Hopefully in the next week or 2 there will be another 2 shipments of around 150 units each which hopefully will start to include the registered shipping ones ?
I am just hoping that mine gets shipped before Chinese new year as registered will mean that it will take about 4 weeks without any hold ups so I am hoping that I might get it by the end of Feb/early March ?

Me too :D

Just got an sms from Fedex; delivery on the 23rd as well. So that makes two of us :THUMBS-UP:

I finally made some time to try mine out, and I’m quite sure this is my best thrower by far without even testing it against my other throwers. Not that I have a bunch of awesome throwers…

Where are you located BanglaBob?

Singapore.

haha lol, the registered GT’s are even bigger! Let’s hope the motorcycle with steering wheel doesn’t brake down. I will notify them (although they got thousands of mails) that France has “peage” and they better come to The Netherlands first. :)

According to Neal all US orders have shipped, from a message I received around 4 AM EST January 19th.

Keep in mind that this can mean “all the US orders are about to ship”.

Some things get lost in translation. Although generally when I hear this the shipment is confirmed a few days later, so expect it to indeed be shipped shortly if not already.

This is something I will ask about along with the xhp70.2 mcpcb’s once the GB is closer to being complete.
