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

Yeah I got mine today.

It will be interesting to see who is first to get theirs & post. :wink:

They already have on other posts. Locking this thread does not stop a true flashaholic! Lol.

I’m out of here till later.

I guess that honor goes to srwaite……… :smiley:

Edit…. On this thread anyway, as Jason mentioned. :wink:

Somebody just gave me a rude mark, and I haven’t even made a post today except one link for batteries!

This is outrageous :person_facepalming:

Great news that people already receiving their GTs, at least now I can enjoy holidays with my family knowing that rest of the world will get their lights in January.

Hey…… PLEASE DO NOT START AGAIN… JUST SUCK IT UP & DON’T POST COMMENTS LIKE THAT…… PLEASE…… :slight_smile:

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Google Photos

Got mine this morning at 9:34 but I’m not home had the landlord put it inside my apt for me…

Hi it’s me your landlord, What apartment # are you again :smiling_imp: :smiley:

No worries BLF old school here :beer:

I posted most of this in another GT thread a few hours ago, but it’s worth repeating. :smiley:

My GT arrived 15 minutes ago! It’s bigger than I expected! :partying_face:

Use a short-bladed knife (or none) if you want to avoid cutting into the interior BLF GT box. It is a tight fit inside the outer carton.

Some quick comments:

The packaging is nice. The lens had a protective plastic film on it. My reflector is flawless and clean. The threads are super smooth. The lanyard attachment was already installed in the tripod hole. :partying_face:

FWIW, I signed up for email notification with DHL. At 09:15 I got an email that said “delivered, signed for.” I opened the front door and the box was on the porch. I never heard the doorbell or even the DHL truck.

My friend’s GT also arrived today. He stopped by and I couldn’t resist taking a few more photos.

The GT-Dumbbell weighs 7 lb 13 oz (3.54 kilos) loaded with 8 cells. :smiley:

Yes, we turned both heads on. :partying_face: I cut a circle from an expired credit card to keep the two carriers insulated from each other.


I discovered a budget-friendly GT cap in the pantry. Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ brand quick oats, 42 oz size.

It’s a perfect fit, and even creates an air bubble between the cap and lens if you don’t ‘burp’ it. :smiley:

I’ll adhere a circle of soft cloth inside it to further protect the lens from contact with the cap.

“Congratulations!” and “Thank You!” to GT-Team, Lumintop, and Neal! :+1:

I just got a call from DHL and I won’t see mine until Tuesday. Well, actually my brother will get the first one. I really have no foreseen use for the light. I’ll see what the light is when I have his in hand.

My GT showed up about 20 minutes ago. Unboxed and loaded with 30Qs. Everything is perfect. Can’t wait till dark.

the rude button is very close to the reply button

Wow :D. Looking huge

I know of several that are out for delivery in South Texas. :slight_smile:

Neat shots of the two joined, really cool… a cow could use one of those (eyes on the sides of the head….)

Please add me to the list for one!

I’m a longtime lurker (been on CPF since 2004!) but finally signed up here.

:laughing: LOL

Great idea. :+1:

I’m heading to the pantry right now.

Nikola, that thing is a monster!! Wow! Looks awesome in hand…… :wink:

Words of warning will take on a new phrase… “Come out with your hands in the air! I have a GT and I’m not afraid to use it!” lol
