Yigal has always offered a 3 month 100% money back guarantee. And I believe his customer service is known for being very good. If it breaks during normal use I'm absolutely positive he'd replace it. He stands by his products.

Yeah but that takes a lot of time... during which you can't perform this. Postage can be expensive as well.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Yes, if you are a hobbyist that is probably true. The one who performs and gets paid will have backups on them. Exactly the reason why I have three ring flights, always have to be ready for the unexpected.

Mesika Ring Flight inbound! I was one of the lucky few to get a prototype as well as a finished unit to help share thoughts on the product as well as help answer some questions buyers may have from the viewpoint of a former worker turned camera nerd hobbyist.

I made a small review based on taking this out and working it to find out the good, the bad and ugly with some honest feedback.

Thanks for the review Jacob.
I wonder if the final units will have fixed the issues you brought up regarding the tension and gaps in the links?

It looks like a much better-quality version of Rinky Dinky. But the deal-breaker for me is the lobster claw. I find them to be very finnicky to load rings without a lot of fumbling. I prefer the 'S' carabiner clips because not only are they easier to load, but they can also accept larger rings... I never worry about borrowing a certain ring type (other than with rings with stones) with my Ring Flight Revolution by Prop Dog. I suppose that I could change the clip (Lobster claw), but my concern is that it won't look quite 'right'.

I don't appreciate this attitude towards the public. the dates are constantly changing. why announce release if you are not ready? Hype is not a good reason if you respect the buyers

Nobody knows the reason why it getting delayed. My company expected a shipment from Asia recently, but the ship got attacked and the container actually got robbed by pirates. I am not kidding. We also had to push everything back then.

About time someone improved the 30 year old RinkyDinkey. Oh wait; Dave Bonsall did that already 10 years ago with his awesome RFR-Mini: https://www.propdog.co.uk/Ring-Flight-Revolution/ring-flight-revolution-mini. Wait: That looks just like the Mesika thing that's delayed forever. What's going on here?

Agree about the lobster claw, it was finicky at first. After tweaking my routine a little I found the perfect position to hold the claw and now after hundreds of performances using the claw it just became second nature. Now I prefer the claw because it's smaller and more easily concealed during the loading.

Thanks for that. I ordered mine from Tannen’s in February. Wrote to inquire and they never responded. Hope to receive it soon.
