Anybody used these? I think they look smart and more importantly now have dropback differential, I'm seriously thinking of getting a set of txi d v2 and these.

Just got a set. They seem pretty good, but annoyingly there no easy way to seperate the head from the arm unless you unscrew the weights everytime, so they are a bit of a pain to store.

Looking at them I personally prefer the probs soon to be discontinued Slimlite design and wouldn't upgrade - being able to have the bobbin clip free running and friction fit (like a stow) is an advantage . . .not bothered about drop back differentiation - do you really need a colour change LED to confirm this?

I've got and use these and in all honesty, they're not that great.
They do NOT like rain at all, to the point that I've had to replace one of them 3 times and one of them 2 times.
They're also too big in my opinion.
I don't recommend them.

I brought em when they first launched.

Packaging was shocking and one of the weights was missing. Also didn't think they were well made so never used em and returned for a full refund.

Not great....prefer my slimlites
