Blinded by the TRUTH. Part 1.

[swarga]

it seems as though many on this forum are of the state of mind that if they purchased a product then they must defend it - at all cost - just because they purchased it.

That's just human nature. Some people fool themselves into believing that this product that they just spent hundreds of dollars on is working perfectly; they don't want to admit, even to themselves, that there are any flaws.

You might even say that these people have blinders on. Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!

i guess i should have expected this to go down this way. too much history not to. another sight going down the drain. what was once a hobby with enthusiasts is now over commercialised and corrupted. its no wonder the likes of staton and others are so disheartened. maybe its the nature of things. sooner or later everything must go down the drain. i hope im not reading between the lines here but i have to agree with staton on this one. too much hype, too many promises, too many people with their hand in the cookie jar stating fact without confirmation. next thing you know we'll be hanging out with cops explaining to them how everything works and how we've been getting over on them - .

The Blinder M47 manual didn't mention anything about orienting the heads right side up. I just mounted them so the sticker was legible and looked uniform. So is there a right side up/ upside down orientation? If so, why wouldn't they mention it in the manual instead of possibly wasting three hours again to carefully align and level everything?

You always want the wire on the inside so sensors are out. The issue with the manual has been communicated to Blinder and will be addressed in later versions.

It has nothing to do with ownership of the product. The problem is that so many people past and present in these forums want to be the Geraldo Rivera of this industry and be the one to spring earth shattering news. Do you remember his special when he uncovered Al Capone's vault? It was empty....


A company lied? no way. Firestone never admitted to having problems with their tires when they were exploding while people were driving their cars and yet they are still around today. Automakers, they never lie about their products. According to Microsoft, Windows does not crash. Get the point...

Just say what you need to say and get it over with. As for the drama, thank You but no Thank You.....

Disagree with the argument that if you don't have a $700 laser jammer, and a V1 or CI you shouldn't even buy countermeasures. You can get a Whistler, Blinder, and cheap Cb radio, and have saves out the a$$. I look at it as a game of statistics any countermeasure raises your odds a little and just because it not the absolute best doesn't mean its not going to be useful.

Try living in the North East and get back to us with these theories...

That set-up would not survive in the North East with those counter measures

You need a high level detector MINIMUMLY!!!! As radar is more around and you have NY Trooper instant on.

While a properly installed Blinder will help you need a high level detector
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As other people say most blindly (no pun) defend the product that they spent money on. And that happens all over.

I have no issue with any company though when they adopt "holier than tho" attiude like Blinder has I have issues. Sorry Blinder you only seem to sue your direct competition yet for get about suing the other "patent violators" as you think. If you are going to threaten and sue one company you should sue them all. ESPECIALLY those companies that make a direct copy of your jammer.

9500ix owners - "its so great , it totally detects in plenty of time, really it does, its the best yadi yadi ya"

V1 owners - "nothing compares, its soooo awesome, it hardly ever falses, yadi yadi yada"

The same can be applied to Laser jammers or course, or anything.

Sometimes I wonder if people defending a product no matter what - just because they bought it - are only really trying to convince themselves that what they have is exactly what the company told them they would have once they spent their money.
Let us not be biased people just because we own this or that.

I have nothing to defend here. I merely point out the facts. I have Blinders, LI's, HP LI's and ZR4's on my vehicles. I have LI and Blinders sitting in boxes at the house not being used. I could have LI's on all my vehicles right now if that's what I wanted. I don't sell them, I make nothing from any of these companies (caveat here the M27's were given to me from Blinder for the time (months) they used my brand new laser Atlanta during prototype development).

I have 3 lidar guns that I loan (not rent) to local individuals and trusted members here on the forum. I have one agenda and one only here. To get to the truth and pass what information I find along the way to fellow forum members.

The M27/47 is considerably better than the M25/45 series. I have them both, I've shot them both, I've had both on the the F-150.

This video is of some recent testing we did on the F-150 on a 1800 ft flat course.

During the first runs the Blinder M27 cut off every time at about 400 ft from the gun. It just quit jamming, light went from red to green. We stopped shooting the F-150 and made a few passes with Scott's honda (I drove).

During the first run targeting Scott's car the Blinders did not fire the whole run. It was not until after I cycled the power on the Blinders when this occurred that they would jam again. I think I finally figured out what caused this problem, because after we went back to testing my F-150 it never occurred again.

During the first runs, Scott's car was sitting pointing toward the same direction we were shooting. The car was running and the jammers were on. I theory is that the Blinders were firing on his car when my heads were firing when targeted with the laser. This somehow faulted out the system as it never occurred once we turned his car off. I'm hoping to test this theory again at a later date. This problem is what you will hear us discussing during the first part of the video. I was wondering for a while if somehow the timed jamming had gotten turned on as it was always at the same spot that they quit.

Looking forward to the M-37 & M-57.

It applies to LJ's, RD's, cars, etc.

Everyone has a oil that they think is the ****, or the tire they think in the ****, or a clutch that is the ****...in the end, you have to look at the specs, maybe make a mistake, and find out for yourself. There is a guy on SupraMania that runs the tires at the maximum PSI that is says on the sidewall. Everyone thinks the way they do it is correct, like...drilling rotors....a little education goes a hell of a long way and you can think independently and then laugh at those with drilled rotors.

How much veil do you have on the thing? I'll caution you, I'm not one to cry wolf, nor one needing attention.... I'm glad that you happen to have a working, more than likely "JUICED" Blinder that will not be represented by the retail market. I'm also excited you have managed to VEIL up the entire front end of your F-150, but there is no need to mention that. You would have us believe that that little M27 is JTG on it's own.
