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.
Pre-ordered mine just now. Expected Shipping Date:2017-10-14, although I know this is only ballpark estimate. I forgot the add insurance to the order, so hoping for the best!

Just a reminder that the first week of October is a big holiday week in China (National Golden Day Week). They may be trying to get orders out the door before everybody goes on holiday.
I thought your post was funny.
And I don’t mind a few curse words but still it is so easy to replace them, get the message across in a way it won’t offend
F××k -> flip
F××king -> flipping
D**m -> dang
Da**it -> dang it
H€££ -> heck
When I type such things itbto empathize things not to use rude words.
And the kids under 18 know more curse words than we do. The only time I’ve ever marked anyone rude is when he/she is personally attacking another member. That to me is unacceptable.
