Luis Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Looking at the pictures well, I can't convince those connections from behind. can be easily broken with any fall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 No coil cover. No users manual. I will be one of the folks cooperating to get that finished. With the latest issue of EU certification of all materials, I don’t expect a January release and if I had to bet, I wouldn't bet on February either. I have no real insight however. Alexandre in a Skype call today suggested I set up a youtube channel and do a proper intro for it, so the unboxing video will probably have to wait. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Advice, fall in the water! It is, after all a beach machine. Except perhaps for clambering over slippery rocks in the tidal zone, You would probably be allright. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Looks like a killer unit. I don’t think the cable management at the back will be a problem as far as being exposed to “ blunt trauma”. I’m liking everything that I’m seeing. I WANT TO SEE THIS UNIT BEAT THE TDIBH FOR RAW DEPTH 👍 I am expecting sticker shock BUT any performance gains over current beach PI’s will then be justified ! Raising funds now.......Will be selling my grandma on eBay shortly 😳 Good luck with the testing.....and thanks for sharing on this great forum (I’m sure Steve won’t mind if all of your posts are just here 🤫) Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Tony - I think it will beat the TDIBH but we must wait for side-by-side testing by users - the ground truth. Alexandre and his team have already done all this but - like I said - wait for the users to report. About your grandmother - how old is she - got any recent photos - I live in “Snow Bird Central” - maybe a local Craigslist her would do?

GaryC/Oregon Coast Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I can see Luis's point about it falling and doing some damage. Like setting against the truck while getting ready and it slides along the fender hitting the ground! I know, that's going to be my problem (because I've done it dozens of times before) and I now know of it up front, but just saying he does have a point. Wish that earphone cable wasn't coming straight out the back, but maybe doing a 90 degree angle to take the pressure off the wire. Not complaining, just observing here. Thanks all for the on going questions. GaryC/Oregon Coast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
