NJP Discontinued? new
      #2559351 - 08/04/08 11:55 AM

According to OPT, the Tak NJP has been suspended. wonder if they have a new incarnation?
Quote:

This mount package has been suspended by the manufacturer for an unknown period, and so OPT is discontinuing it for now.

I spoke with one dealer who said they were working on an enhancement, and then would be shipping again. I think I got the same story from TNR.

Bite the bullet and get an EM-400

Doncha' just hate it when a mount follows you home, whimpering and whining until you buy it?

I'd hate to see it go away. One of the few 65 pound mounts I can put a modest load on.

Modest? I didn't know 100+lbs was modest.
