This bold is what I mean and the sometimes not all that friendly posts teacher, Jerommel said it well and he knows since we have a little pm going on with the designers
Thank God, before I vote for… potato power D5 , I realized that this is a serious poll. Then again I realized that only serious flashaholics should vote in a BLF’s GT thrower poll, so please inform whow can I cancel my D1 vote, as I’m still a newbie! :disappointed:
I had specific reasons for choosing option 2 and given what TA said about the need for knurling and no cost difference between the two heads, it was a good choice :D. VOTE DESIGN-2!! design 1 is a plunger and sends mean emails!
#1 design is classy and reminds me of the Polarion... my dream flashlight for many years. #2 looks badass like a L6 on steroids. If the manufacturer can also make the handle my vote goes for #1, but if not I'll go with #2. Either design is amazing!
The handle will not be coming with the light although you will be able to use a tripod mounted handle on both lights.
Fritz could most likely upload the CAD file for the handle though and it is possible it could be 3D printed but it would not look nearly as good or be as strong as metal.
No, while they both/all look great…… #2 has better proportions, ergonomics, and balance. As well as better cooling potential for a future mod platform. Vote #2.
Yeah, Jerommel, while I respect you greatly, I really disagree on this one. I have a TK75 w/extension, an X60, a TR-J20, and a TR-J19 and they all balance and handle just fine. I have a cone-shaped stubby zoom light and it’s the worst by far on ergos, balance, and proportion. Heck, I wish my TM16 had a 4x18650 extension available.
But as it’s been said, maybe do a run of both designs? There are two camps that really love one and really don’t love the other. I’d be all for BLF GT1 being design 1 and BLF GT2 (or whatever the name) being design 2.
OK, I read what you said (quoted below); in response to my question ‘The Miller’. Not sure that answered what I asked.
So I’ll just make it real plain.
Maybe it is a “language thing”, but when I read what is quoted below; it comes across to me as if you are throwing ‘5ar’ under the bus and blaming the need for this poll on him.
And personally, I do not see any need for ‘5ar’ to change his design for any reason…. unless he himself wants to.
I know that is pretty plain, but there is no use beating around the bush; that is how your statements come across to me.
All the designs look very good and I am just telling you how your remarks come across to me.
