GROUP BUY IS CLOSED
REDUSER Blueshape LIMITED EDITION PINK V-Mount Group Buy Details
Blueshape is offering a single discount tier of 25% right off the bat for this group buy. These are UNRELEASED and this will be quite possibly the only group buy for the foreseeable future on them. As from what I've been told, the inventory order flow is healthy so there’s no incentive for them to do a group buy. HOWEVER, Blueshape has agreed to do this run because it brings light to a great cause. It also has a few attachments:
- This is for a limited edition PINK color shell. It's meant to raise awareness for breast cancer. I personally dig a unique color as it'll keep my batteries apart from all the others on set.
Both the 95Wh and the 142Wh models have the same shell which is why we can choose between either battery for this group buy.
- This group buy requires a MINIMUM of 100 paid batteries (not orders) to happen.
- DELIVERY : After reaching 100 battery commitments, these batteries will be custom made to our order so the lead time is 8-12 weeks / 2-3 months. If you commit, please pay in a timely manner so all of us can get our batteries sooner. Blueshape USA did say that its possible we could get them sooner, depending on how many orders come in and how quickly everyone pays) though expect the quoted time. The release date of the standard color minis is slated to be around march.
- Limited to a max of 8 batteries per person, no dealers or rental houses can participate and these aren't meant to be resold.
- Blueshape is handling payments directly so at the close of the group buy, I will direct you to them to finish up the transaction. Payment via Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover with no fee. 6% for AMEX. NOTE : Once 100 batteries are spoken for and/or at the close of group buy, only a 25% non refundable deposit will be required, NOT the entire amount. However, order of shipping is by FULL payment time stamp. If you want to be priority in line, pay in full. When batteries are finished being produced in Italy, Blueshape will contact you for remainder of payment.
- If we don't reach 100, the group buy doesn't go through. Remember, no money is exchanged until we get 100 committed battery orders.
This group buy will end in roughly 45 days from now : JANUARY 15th 2017
OK, now with that said, here's some info on the batteries :

Runtime + Power: Estimated run time on Red Epic-W for the 95Wh is 95 minutes and for the 142Wh is 142 mins (The camera is reported to consume 60Wh, it works out to 1Wh per minute. Take this as an estimation.) High Drain capability of 12A of continuous discharge.
Weight: BV095 1.48 LBS / BV140 1.87 LBS (for comparison, CoreSWX hypercore slims are 1.4 LBS)
Shipping: USA only - $19 for first battery, $4 for each additional.
And last though definitely not least:
As an added benefit, for each battery sold a donation will be made to the Stefani Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research. This organization was selected as the beneficiary as 100% of the funds are for research with no administrative or external programs costs coming from donations. (See https://chrisspielman.com/charities/stefanie-spielman-fund-for-breast-cancer-research.)
If you would like to participate and commit, please comment with what model and amount per model you'd like. For example: Randy Panado (4) BV095 + (2) BV140
