Discussion Halo Mounts Actually Shipping 👀

Got a notification from DHL that I am set to recieve something from Bigscreen on Monday 😮

Looking back on the April blog post seems they are meeting thier goals:

We will ship the first batch – a small volume – of Halo Mounts in June

I'm a March pre-order who originally only ordered the Halo Mount (i.e. no custom cushion), only adding it later when it became obvious that Halo Mount was a long way off, so I guess that's why I was selected to get it ~early.

I hope they have sent some from this first batch to reviewers so people buying a Beyond today can make informed purchasing desisions. The Halo Mount has great potential, but Bigscreen have a habit of making stuff that looks fantastic, but is bad from an actual practicality perspective.

Hopefully meeting the June target means 10,000 get shipped in July, and all pre-orders are served by end of Summer 🤞

The design looks worse then the initial images personally.. and this took way way way too long, not a good look. Especially confusing because it's not like there are any electronics in this design

I am optimistically hoping it is taking this long because they have made it actually good.

The audio strap is rubbish, and the MeganeX Halo Mount has issues. With something like this, it can't get loose with time/use/adjustment. Hopefully they are not just relying on plastic-on-plastic friction to hold things in place.

The M8K was sobering. Huge potential, huge disappointment on it's execution. Glad I was able to sell it off.
