I think you'll have to rename this to

The Tardis

:faint: Okay, that's probably overkill on the smiles... I was quietly hoping you would be able to get back to the smaller size of your Al prototype, very glad it was not only possible, but that you deemed it so...

:MicroSD Memory Card Reader/Writer Builtin to Gen 3 Production Model
There is NO Extra Charge for the option. You just take apart the light
And slide in your own MicroSD card up to a 32Gig Capacity.


Sabrewolf, you are awesome! :drool:
 
Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

Wow, this keeps getting better all the time. :twothumbs

I really like the mini-sd card reader. Allows us to upgrade the storage.

I need to make sure I keep the funds in my PP.

Oh man that's great news :party:
At this very moment, I'm a bit :broke: but am still interested. Should the sales thread go in order of the interested list prioritywise, then I'm about perfect position, cause right now I don't have the $$ but give me a few weeks to accumulate/save/selloff and I should be about there, then it's :party::party::party::party::party::party::party: instead of just :party:

+1 on the moneyclip question?
 
Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

I found a nice Brushed Ti money clip that may work :popcorn:
Due to the complexities of an innocent looking clip with all the
curves and contours, I may have to buy it from retail. here is one
that you may find interesting:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015G7YJS/?tag=cpf0b6-20

Its a pretty thick Ti too :grin2:

Its possible that i could make something myself. But i need to do some more
experimentation on what type of Ti is best for a clip. The one that is
on my proto is aVERY thin, and if pulled back to far, It won't snap back.
I gave it to my cousin to play with... And the first thing he did was bend
out the clip :devil:
 
Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

My preference for money clip would be one that was screwed on (where screws are accessible).

I use a money clip on my billfold and they only last a few months, and then they stretch open.

If it was designed where the light is the back of the clip then you could unscrew it, bend it a little, and you would be back in business.

The other thought is having a slot in the light (don't think I like this), and the straight part of the clip slides into that. THat is what my current billfold is like.

This just keeps getting better all the time.
At first I thought the data storage option was just silly, but after thinking on it awhile and knowing that you'll be using a usb port to charge the thing anyway... the idea kinda grows on you after awhile. The card slot variant make a lot of sense, as then it's upgradable and only your led will be obsolete after a few weeks. 😉

I'm curious to see how the other options flesh out. Are any of them mutually exclusive? Does the Pontiaker artwork displace the tritium slots? Does the money clip get in the way of the tripod mount? Who's arranging the group-buy AlTiN coating? What does the price look like if you select "all of the above" in the extra options section?
I know these can't be answered quite yet as much of this is still being worked out. But every time I come back to check on this thread it's looking even better than before, so I'm antsy to see how the rest is going to unfold.
It's certainly the most unique light I've seen so far around here.
 
Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

Well to answer one part of your question, artwork done by Pontiaker would be a whole separate thing...And would be as expansive as you and Matt decide on.

Considering where the trit slots could be placed (up front right?), I don't see it interfering with much.
 
Re: New Pics And Member List Added "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Char

The trit slots can be wherever you want 🙂
In the front on either side of the lense, on the
back end, top cover, bottom, sides... possibilties
are only up to your imagination. I don't have
a "Set" location. But i do have the milling cutters
for just that purpose.. and 2 cupfuls of Norland
optical adhesive to pull it off.. And that means
i dont have to send it to the machinist :sssh:

The money clip will be screwed-in, and the screws
wil be accessable by you. If you guys/gals have a
better clip that you would like me to use, Then let
me know :grin2: As the one i posted was just an idea.

As for the 1/4-20 Camera mount. It will be
tapped in the corner from the bottom close
to the lanyard hole. So yes, it will be off-center.

I prob won't do a coating.. But i have another finish
that can be done for less money. It has an antique
patina look to it. And is pretty durable. If you carry
this light in the same pocket as your keys, It will
pick up some of the brass from them. It looks kinda
"Weathered" and worn-in. Like an old saddle.
This light is made to be beatup, and carry a unique
finish that will vary from person-to person with age.
If you guys really want a coating, Please shoot me
a PM.

:poof:
