Details to follow, but here is what we know so far:


1. Unsurpassed placement flexibility - need for lens shift entirely eliminated!!


2. Three free projector bulbs included. Replacement cost $1.00 each!!!


3. Radical design eliminates need for cooling fan of any type - completely silent operation!!


My RS1 is now for sale.

What you do with your hands and a flashlight (under the covers) is your business

Wow, the hand puppet and flashlight cost 63.00? That's too rich for my pocket book. I'll wait for the Handpuppet2 and lazer flashlight at that price.
Sounds like a good deal, but I'm concerned about the color shift as the flashlight bulb ages and the lack of a CMS. Can't be replacing bulbs every week at a buck apiece. That and the inevitable motion blur of the hand puppets could be a deal killer.

What no DI on the flashlight? I don't think you'll be able to sell one to Bob S.

How many lumens does the flashlight have? You'll never convince me it's any good unless it's got at least 2500.

Claimed as world's brightest flashlight and only 1100 lumens

Since Optoma are the "masters" of bright, we can count on them fixing this and showing us the light soon.

Clearly, you have too much time on your hands... among other things....

What about the Panamuppet lens option? How much does that cost?
Panamuppet - damn that is too much. Funniest thing I have read in a long time - this thread can end now
. It can't get any better.

This sounds like something you'd read in the CRT forum. Guess digital has made it now.
Is it possible to ceiling mount the flashlight? If so could someone point me to the proper mount (and don't tell me to use duct tape, I tried it and the lamp fell off after a few hours of intensive use...)
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the dim corners and center hot-spotting.
Has the obvious been mentioned? New hand puppets are being released at CEDA that will make the previous hand puppets obsolete.

They are being released in conjunction with Optoma's new flashlight, which will make all previous flashlights obsolete as well.

Actually you missed the pre-order... We've all been waiting months now for our promised hand puppets and I don't think I can stand the wait much longer. If they don't get their production/distribution issues fixed soon I may bail and settle for an RS1. I'm becoming skeptical that I really need the Panamuppet lens option anyway! I think this may all of been a ploy by the manufacturer to get the product onto
the hands of kthacher and others... just to create market share buzz so their stock price would go up before the company was sold off.

well the Panamuppet lens option may not be a wise buy. I mean, the damn thing does not even do the muppet-morph 2:35 stretch. That's deal breaker for me, no muppet-morph stretch. What was Puppet Master thinking?!, releasing a video display in this day and age with no fracking muppet-morph?

Maybe Puppet Master should have these guys do the muppet-morph stretch. Looks like that got it down http://www.basslinedesign.com/web.ph...&focus_item=28
