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

my attempt to help for size comparison. He’s 3 weeks

There should not be much of a time limit. Ordering sooner gives you a better chance of getting it sooner, but that’s no guarantee.

gregor, I understand your frustration about this. Obviously refund is not what you want. You just want confirmation from Neal.
I think Neal should respond to you if he can. You should try PM him again, of course i am not suggesting to spam him everyday.

Since I couldn’t convince anyone else to do it, I ordered the filmcity lens handle. Here it is suspended from the balance point on my pegboard.

I like it srwaite! I thought it’d work perfectly and it looks like it does… I would’ve been all over it but the funds department cancelled my little party…

Does it “handle” as well as it looks like it should?

Dale,

In your first photo, are there 3 or 4 beams being thrown; It looks as if there are 2-3 beams on your side of the lake? Maybe just a glare but from the right side of the photo it looks as if 1 beam is crossing over yours and possibly another is shining down yonder…

The bottom photo…WOW! From that distance it’s amazing how bright that looks!

Very NICE… That looks like it belongs on it! How much was that handle?

I like it. It feels great in the hand and the balance is perfect. The only real problem is that with only 1 screw to hold it in position, a rapid twist of the hand will cause it to rotate. I can’t get enough tension on the tripod screw to prevent it, although you really have to twist it pretty hard to make it move. I’m considering machining 1/4” off the front of the handle base so it can butt flat up against the fins of the GT and maybe prevent that. I’m not sure if its necessary yet.

$35. Here it is on amazon:

I actually ordered for the same price off ebay though. It came in 4 days from India via DHL.

HAHA… Awesome picture Josh!!

I’m either forgetting how small my kids were when they were 3 months old or that is one HUGE flashlight!! :laughing:

Nice… Thanks for the Amazon link… I’ll add it to my cart now and keep my eye on it. (At times sales or prices tend to drop) I still need to pay for my light…

Try a thin rubber washer between the two. That should provide good friction.

Hi folks. I saw some centering ring concerns and thought I’d share the solution I found. I filed down a centering ring that came with a Convoy S2+ smooth reflector and fit it inside of the black circle. A slightly more detailed account is in the GT Modding Thread.

Nice tip pscal thanks for sharing!

It actually has rubber pads on it already.

Not sure if my name on the list but i already paid for my GT Nov last year…still waiting patiently.

Nice tip for the ones with the larger hole. :+1:

I was looking for ages trying to find the moose, lol,
Then I realised you meant moss. :person_facepalming:

Your on the list at #965 and #966. It wasn’t Nov that you paid, it was some time after Dec 9th.

Did you sign up for registered mail? It seems those are the last ones to be shipped out.

That’s a good one…. :wink:
