Iāve got a strong magnetic mount that I use with my GoPro camera. Itās got a 1/4-20 bolt that it mounts with. Iāve used it to mount my Q8 and I plan on getting another for my LT1. Might be worth looking at for the accessory kit.
Hm, I hadnāt thought about a storage pouch. Nice idea. Looks like a SLR camera lens pouch you have there, maybe? Op/Tech USA makes great neoprene pouches, btw.
(I assume you mean Private Message, because you need to check those manually; the e-mail notices are not foolproof.)
And thatās been worrying me a bit, since you arenāt the only one that has reported this issue. It appears that most people are getting PMās approximately in order, but a few pages back Andyman, at #9, reported no message. Iām sure everyone will ultimately be taken care of, but I hope that this works out well for both Sofirn and BLF as it would be sad if feelings were hurt and trust was damaged.
As we see people higher on the list get PMāed, I think it would be fair for anyone lower who has not yet received a message to go ahead and ask Sofirn for codes. Letās be frank here; after Sofirn took over the process, we donāt have much insight into whatās happening. This is not a complaint; itās just stating the obvious .
+1. The user codes should actually be pretty easy, but interfacing those with multiple stores around the world is probably not. You would probably need a website and backend that either created or handed out a pre-made coupon code or store link according to the customerās choice.
Even with the current system, Sofirn might have benefited from custom codes, since it appears that right now I could <<< edit: removed entirely obvious way to cheat the system >>> . If so, it would take only a few sorry buttholes to cause a big problem. Personally, I donāt think that they should have honored requests from those not yet sent PMās, except when a PM wasnāt sent on time for some reason.
Iām chill, just hoping for the best.
LT1 bare: $49.99 LT1 w/ 4x 3000mAh cells: $62.99
If you are offered something else, then someoneās wrong and itās not you . I cannot promise that shipping will be free to everywhere in the world, but so far Sofirn seems to be including economy shipping as part of the Goup Buy price.
@DBSAR do you think all of those accessories will be feasible to be offered in one package, or maybe we can pick the most desirable accessories to be produced, to reduce complexities in manufacturing/stocking/selling them?
Let me start the list (I think a survey pool might be better) from all the accessories listed above of what I might be interested (in order of most desired) :
- 18350 short tube
- Side directional shade
- Top-hat reflector shade (sorry for my ignorance, whatās the differences compared to āStandard top shade for directing light downā? Is this standard to shade the same as Silicone folding top shade, or different again?).
- Silicone folding top shade
- (Silicone folding) Yellow-white top night shade
- Hard storage case (padded inside, with enough place to fit all/most of these accessories)
cap base for the lantern head when used without battery tube.
I will try to describe the details & uses for each accessory above in the upcoming video to help with people deciding on what would be wanted in aākitā set if that were to be the way to offer them.
Connecting multiple stores to the host database is simple enough if the Ebay/AliExpress stores can customize their pages to execute JavaScript, etc. If not an app could run on a website that connects to the database. Or someone at Sofirn just runs a query on a pc when they get an email asking for a code from a qualified person. My code handles about 90% of what is needed and Iād give it to them if they want to use it (not that itās all that complex).
Actually if anyone wanted the code for future BLF projects theyāre more than welcome to have it. Oracle Express is free to download so thereās no cost involved in bringing up an instance of the code.
Highly unlikely. Iām guessing it ramps all the way up to 600 lumens. I donāt see the point having a higher turbo being a lantern thatās designed for runtime
