BLF GT Proto. Review. Work in progress. update 6.8.17. Post 69. Run time test added.

Ha ha I can imagine that, I am making stupid faces even now while holding my phone and watching your pictures. Amazing !

What is the weight with batteries?
Thanks

I never looked that closely. I asked Dale years ago to recommend a camera and his choice for me was a perfect match.
It probably was a little Chinese girl. I dont think it would make any difference how big the hand was. The size of the head would still make a big hand small. :slight_smile:

Yes, if you could call them lanyard holes that, there is two shoulder strap holes. I’ll measure them up at a later date with some pictures to go along with them. The hole in the tailcap rotates so it doesn’t matter where the tailcap stops when tight the shoulder strap hole can be rotated to match the hole in the head.

Weight with batteries and short tube is around 1.9Kg or just over 4lb

I feel left out….lol

Looks great!

Wow! I would expect to be a little giddy over that too.

Look forward to the updates :beer:

Reminds me of the Lumapower D-mini with the Turbo head, but BIGGER!

Thanks for the hand comparison pictures, it adds a better perspective on the size.

BTW, will the short tube be available as an option or accessory?

Very nice!!

Are there 8x18650 batteries there?

No - that's a shorty tube - 4x18650. Dunno if any long tubes got shipped. TA did't get his yet.

Whoa! 1.9kg with short tube.

Thanks for the pics, I kind of like the short tube look, hope they do offer it as an option…

There are rumors this might be an add-on option if things go well….just rumors mind you.

They could offer this short tube as an additional option AND fill it with 4 extra batteries when taking the final orders!
This could work well for those who need shipped in 2 parts and have a hard time to get batteries shipped other ways.
So would it be 8 cells inside the long tube and 4 inside the short one?

That is possible, I see no reason why that could not happen but all of that will have to be figured out much closer to when the GT is ready for shipment.

Can you post a pic next to a K60 or K70? We need beamshots please!!!

Nice! looking forward to the reviews.

Sorry Alex, l dont have either mentioned lights. The biggest light I have that has been purchased would be the original Defiant Super Thrower which is not in this league.
On a personal note I’d prefer the longer tube not that I have seen the light with it. It should balance the weight out a little better.
As far as adding weight I dont think it would add a great deal to it.

That is just amazing!
I can imagine that grin on your face and your wife’s reaction :sunglasses:
Almost 2 kg’s! This is one serious light
Cant wait to see more details and beamshots ofcourse!
