If Bintel or Celestron in some way facilitated or provided 'consideration' in the transaction then this could be seen as a product placement piece. Nice mount none the less.

Oh I've been asking for it via Bintel since it was announced a few months back. I didn't get any favours, I just had to wait for the shipment and release date like others. My order was one of a few for Bintel I believe. If you're interested in a newly released product definitely ask them ahead of time, they'll back order it for you no worries. Contact Bintel to confirm RRP. I think it's around $3.5k but don't quote me.
I did get a discount on the RRP but that's because I'm their web dev, it's not brand payola. I thought the review was fairly explicit about my brand relationships
and my criticisms of the mount
If I was trying to push the product and vendor I would've included pricing and ordering info, I just wanted to share the details for this anticipated mount. Hope that's a bit clearer!
(TLDR If it sucks - I'll tell you!)
