countzero 7 #1 September 4, 2006 at para gear they have the viso alti. "a pay now- receive it when it comes out" type basis. just wondering if anyone has pre-ordered it. or if you're waiting till it comes out and can get some customer feedback.diamonds are a dawgs best friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiveaddict 0 #2 September 5, 2006 I ordered the Viso from Square 1 back in the end of April / beginning of May and at that time they said it would be shipped to them in 2 weeks. Apparantly L & B had a few issues with it and kept putting the date off. I just called Square 1 last week and they said it should be in by the end of September. I know it isn't their fault, it's the manufacturer, but this is turning into a major pain in the ass. The only reason I don't cancel the order is that I think when it finally does come out it will be an awesome product. L&B have the best customer service around. To really rub salt into my wound, there is a team that is sponsored by L&B that sometimes jumps at my dz and I couldn't help but notice they were all wearing Visos a month ago! Apparently they sent out some to the sponsored teams for them to test. Good thing I'm not holding my breath waiting for this..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LloydDobbler 2 #3 September 5, 2006 I was down at Skydive San Diego this weekend, and met someone who had gotten one out of the first load L&B shipped out to dealers. Gotta say, the thing looks nice...and the guy jumping it (didn't get his name, it was on a load almost to altitude) gave it solid reviews over the past week. (As if that's all that great a review...but still, I've heard no complaints so far). Bonnie @ Gravity Gear got a few from L&B's initial shipment, and they were all already sold (she actually had one in stock when I was in, but sadly, it was spoken for). All of this is to say that at this point, it's probably a supply chain problem at L&B. Good news is that they're finally officially out there for sale, and the first batches have been shipping to dealers. So if you're already on a pre-order list, you'll get yours sooner than I will mine. Signatures are the new black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eUrNiCc 0 #4 September 5, 2006 That's odd, there are a couple viso's sitting in the display case at my DZ's gear store. They've been there for a week or two just waiting for someone to come along and buy one. One thing to note is that they come with a wristwatch style strap as opposed to the hand mount that is shown in all of their ads.Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age.

GravityGirl 0 #5 September 5, 2006 Don't be upset that the team had them before you. Be grateful that they are Beta Testing them for you, so when your product arrives, it has been fully tested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
