DEMA Blacktip new version

[Boarderguy]

From DEMA the new blacktips will have a Bluetooth module for changing settings via an app. Included firmware options are jump speed, adjustable speeds, reverse, and no safe start. It also updates safe start to be a ½ second delay and is imperceptible compared to not having it on. If I missed anything here is a video review on it.

Any idea how much that'll add to the base price?

I'm ignorant to scooters.... how often are you changing settings? I would "think" you get it setup the way you want and then forget about it? Maybe I'm wrong?

Nonetheless, cool feature.

how often are you changing settings?

Lots of times during cave dives. Open water maybe not as often.

I emailed them last night and I'm waiting on the reply. I'm assuming the Bluetooth module may add $100 which I'm willing to pay since I'm buying a new one soon. The other question posed is when they'll be available.

And cleaned up safe start.

I wish Dive-Xtras handed the demo unit to someone that actually made concise videos, I shut the thing off within a minute. The Top Gear style videos are fine for the occasional review but not every video needs to be mostly B roll and superfluous narration.

Yea - I could not watch that video either. Just weird.

They are copying Top Gear's style, but enjoyed Top Gear because it covered cars that I could never afford driving them in absolutely gorgeous environments. So I was watching the videos less for the facts and more for the aesthetics, so all that fluff was fine.
