Hey everyone.
The BlitzBuck V3 hasn't been out for a month yet and still over 30 have sold (rather impressive, according to Clif).
That said, some of you guys must have bought them for your own purposes, resale, testing, or what-have-you.
Anyway, I have fiddling with the design for a while now and have some possibilities in the works for the BlitzBuck V4.
Also, note that the V3s (as well as the V4s) will also be available in rectangular form-factor like the v1s and V2s (same size - the size of the Flex).
Anyway, my plans for it right now are to extend it's ability to buck all the way down to about .8V, meaning it could STABLY run the Mitsubishis and even IR lasers - at the moment, it starts to act erratically around 2.4V or so. 2.5V is the minimum operating condition.
Also, I plan on making the pot a bit sturdier on the next version. Again, the V3 version's pot works fine, but it is VERY fragile and I want a more robust pot so it can be adjusted more often.
With those two additions, I expect the price to raise to about $24 or so from Clif.
Would you guys want that?
Any other changes you would like to see? I'm all ears.
