Technical Innovations/RoboFocus

[Octane]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but, I'll go ahead, anyway.

Has anyone had any success in receiving email replies/quotes from Technical Innovations over the last few weeks, or so?

I've sent a couple over the last few weeks requesting information and even a quote for an order but it seems my emails are falling on deaf ears...

Or, do I have to clal them to place an order?

I emailed about a Tak bracket almost exactly two weeks ago and got a response a couple of days later. I placed an order the next day and the bracket arrived last week...

Cheers,
Rick.

I e-mailed them three or four days ago for a quote and got a reply this evening:

RF3I (USD 469.00)
FSQ 106ED bracket (USD 10.00)
Priority mail with insurance (USD 48.45).
Payment by Visa is OK (details split over three e-mails for safety).

Send 'em yet another e-mail!

Mike,

I'm dumb, I don't know what the difference between the 3 and 3I is. Are you able to explain?

Thanks.

Hi H..to stick my big nose in..the difference is the 3I has (Quote):

The 110vAC power adapter has been replaced with just a 2.1mm power plug. User is responsible for finding a local 12vDC source. Price is reduced to account for this substitution.

aka they removed the 110V plug pack supply and you supply your own +12V.

The 'I' stands for 'International', meaning the unit is supplied with only a 12v lead and plug and not the 110V-12V transformer, thus saving a few dollars. The info is on their website somewhere.

Thanks Brendan and Mike.

Question, if you get a 2.1mm plug, can I just stick it into my DewBuster? I think that has provisions for supplying power. Or, what else would be a good solution?

I'm a complete gumby when it comes to powering things.

I still haven't got a reply from them!

I got my unit not long ago. I ended up buying a 12V 1A power supply. It looks like a slightly large phone charger. Luckily it had the correct sized plug on it.

Here is a link to the adaptor: Altronics (http://www.altronics.com.au/index.asp?area=item&id=M9274A)
