Haslab Proton Pack Aluminum Motherboard by 12th Floor Movie Props DIY Install and Review Video!

The latest iteration of the 12th FLoor Movie Props Aluminum motherboard.
www.etsy.com/c...
Their first board I purchased from them had a few issues. 1) 2 notches on the board which was due to their cut file and 2) Stock Haslab mounting points for the alice frame for me was 1/4" off
An elegant solution for #2 has been created by them using these machined aluminum spacers. THough I didn't need them for this new one I used them differently so I could just have them on my pack hahaha. (Will be uploading a separate video on that)
I've been hearing from many people that they had major fitment issues and wrong hardware supplied. This must have been from their very first attempts at this and super frustrating as a buyer trying to support a new GB product supplier. Although it sucks to pay to be guinea pigs for them to learn on.... In the end (now) I think they have worked out all the kinks and have a very good product.
If you had an issue reach out I'm sure they will come up with a solution for you!
This motherboard plopped right on. Fitment and finish were bang on. A great overall product and very competitively priced versus the GB staple made by Redman Studios (An awesome product BTW)
I think if you took a chance with 12th Floor Movie Props you won't be disappointed. I was actually quite impressed (You'll see that in the video hahaha)

I got mine ordered hopefully it gets here quickly. I've had an alice frame fail where it was drilled before with my spirit pack. I've put SO MUCH work and money into my haslab pack that I absolutely do not want to use that method to attach it. Retraining the halab mounting system is what sold me on it. My friend is in the 501st, and we talked about how Mandos almost never use the screen accurate mounting system for their jetpacks because they want something more robust. Completely how I feel about my pack.

Depending where they are on their run of making the motherboards you should get it fairly quickly. Their shipping is quite fast and I got the 2 of mine (ordered at different times) ahead of schedule. My pack isn't close to screen accurate anyways. It's my own personal preference accurate hahaha. Robust and longevity is my end goals.

[@Doctors_TARDIS]

@@SquadCollector I'm going accurate where I can but the mounting system is somewhere you're never gonna see for one, and it's something that I need to function for two. If a pack breaks on set, it's fine they have another. If MINE drops off the alice frame, it's over with.

@@Doctors_TARDIS I feel you man! If my haslab pack broke my heart will break with it :(

[@thaylensabre]

Loved your video and your pack! I love all you have done to it. Where did you get the bellows/shockmont? I would love to add that to mine.

[@SquadCollector]

Bellow was purchased from ETSY. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1120206298/ghostbusters-proton-pack-metal-bellows?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=proton+pack+bellow&ref=sr_gallery-1-37&sca=1&content_source=52e8be3a1bc5b3072da3a3615f7e6914075eae41%253A1120206298&search_preloaded_img=1&organic_search_click=1 I helped him figure out how to get them to work with Haslab packs. Be warned it takes ages to arrive from Italy and it adds over a pound ot yoru pack hahaha!

@@SquadCollector Thank you so much!!

[@paulortaglia1852]

So you will no be using the two external speakers anymore on the new motherboard?

[@SquadCollector]

I will... but just for the wand.... I need to find time to get the 3.5mm jack installed.

[@paulortaglia1852]

@@SquadCollector ok thank you I thought maybe you would, have a great day 😊

[@paulortaglia1852]

The 2 nuts on the mother board do u femove one before adding the cake , the other nut raises the cake and makes it hard to lock down the cyclotron lid cover with the stock bracket and bellows

[@lethaljohn1a]

Does the pack stand on it's own without the stand now the Alice frame sits lower?

[@SquadCollector]

It ALMOST does.... it's just a tad top heavy (That upgraded speaker) and makes it just tilt back enough to fall over :(

[@paulortaglia1852]

The 12th floor props is not selling on Esty anymore 😢

[@SquadCollector]

Might have to contact them through facebook.

I ordered one from Red Man a year ago. It was the first round, and I guess they didn't have the exchange rate/shipping figured, because 2 days later the price shot up to double. Got in under the wire, right? Nope. They held up shipping of my board for 8 months, and when I sent an email asking if it would be shipped by October, they decided to just cancel my order. This one seems just as expensive, but might have to go for it. I just do not trust those tiny little screw posts when I've added so much weight to the pack over time. Gah... pricey one, but I will likely just bite the bullet there. No one else makes a reasonable one!

[@NewMessage]

Oh, it's half the price? Sold.

[@SquadCollector]

That's crazy! I guess all these companies have their horror stories... Just sucks to be the one on the receiving end. I feel for you brother!

[@SquadCollector]

RIGHT?! Very competitive!

[@ghostbustersdublin9042]

Such a great video and very informative. I'm currently waiting on my 12th floor props motherboard, and your review is what sold it to me. Can i ask where you got those aluminium cylinder spacers for the bottom of your alice frame ? Thanks in advance Dermot of Ghostbusters Dublin
