for better or worse...i too a step and purchased the new cobra firing system. I know Dave said he would have a video on this but i didnt see anything yet. I think it will work for my shows..

Anyone out there also get it or want to share anything they might know about it?

Looks like a great system, but little pricey for me.

ya...its a little bit more, i really like the system features and light up remote, and the testing so far was positive. i did look at some others and saw some flaws but im sure everything is in a flaw zone!. What system would you suggest?

I think you made a wise investment. The remote alone is a enough reason to buy one. And its made in the good old USA! I wish I didn't have so many mortars to buy this year, or I too would be buying one. Let us know what you think once you try it out.

Right now I only got three 3", two 4", and one 6" rack. The 3's and 4's are 10 shot and the 6" is a 4 shot. My goal by July 4th is to have at least 15-3" racks, 5-4", and maybe another 6" rack. So I need 120 3" mortars, 30-4", and 4 more 6". I'm buying all my mortars from Kellners and I'm going to build the racks myself. Also I plan on going with all fiberglass this summer. Its cheaper and lighter than HDPE, and thats important when your a one man crew like me!:cool: I don't like the 3" racks w/fiberglass mortars that Kellners sells. The mortars have no reinforced lip and you can't nail into the sides of the rack. Thats why they are probably so cheap!

I am DYING to see Dave's video reviewing this firing system. It's killing me. I hope it's long thorough review.

you will be very happy with this system been using a 4 module system for four months now on many pro shows . used it this month at PGI shooters classes for the outdoor demos at Kellners . works great, very good customer service from Scott . I have four modules with the seahorse cases and one remote very very happy with the investment

Exactly Pyro Man. I mean there is nothing wrong with the Cobra system. Looks great, but to do it right. Ya need 1 remote , like 3 or 4 18 cues, add in 3 or 4 cases as well. For what I would need.. Cost of 1500 or so. When I can get 3 - 32 cue for $750...
