Aleph 3x123 body?

Are there any plans to make 3x123 bodies? It would open up some possibilities for Downboy use with 2x150 Pilas and 3x123 for both 3 and 5 watt, as well as offering the possibility of 2 AA rechargables with Nexgen drivers. I'd buy one, assuming the price was in line with the other battery packs.

No plans at present. With the BE3 and UBH, I felt this was covered rather well.

Also, the new Vital Gear 3x123 looks really sharp with the Aleph 3 head, IMO.

It's mostly a question of form rather than function. From the pictures I've seen, Balrog's black doesn't match the Alephs very well and I've only seen the UBH in HA NAT or brass. Now that I've moved to the next $ level in terms of flashaholism, I thought it might be nice to try and have all the pieces match in color.

mahoney,
I understand where you are coming from. However, I have to be very careful where I am going to! If I wanted to offer you a 3x123, I need to buy 500 of them. Now I wouldn't mind having a couple but I sure don't need 499 of the dang things; forget the fact that I can't afford them. There are and will be some Aleph parts around in HA-Nat but don't count on a perfect or even close color match with other HA-Nat parts. Hard anodize is first and foremost a functional plating and not a cosmetic plating. Grain and other irregularities will show up and tints will vary significantly from batch to batch.

^^ We need that engraved on a plaque - maybe in the FAQ of the Aleph series!

Yep, I was trying to go with all Aleph black to avoid the whole HA NAT mis-match thing. I already have a rainbow of shades of HA-NAT stuff.

Maybe 499 other CPF members will post in this thread that they want a black Aleph 3x123 body too and we can get a run done, but judging by the response so far...

Thanks anyway

Oooh! I'll take one! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif

497 to go, and we're set! (remember that Don wants one two, so we're three stong already!)

One for me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif
496 to go... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm in for (2) units in black.

I'm in for one unit, but I want pink! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Added to FAQ as requested.

I am also in for one 3x123 body, but of course I'd want it in the finish Don won't provide ... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin07.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Whoa! Stop guys! Before Don comes in here and opens up a can of Whoop-Aleph on us... and blames me!

<ul type="square"> Doug Speck's current UBH has a silver-grey finish (I presume it is HA) which looks very good with a HA-black tailcap and black A3 head. [/list]
