Are you interested in purchasing the Macsha folding antenna (mats?

[5Kevents.org]

The Masha Mat retails for $1700.00. I can get a group discount bringing the price down to $1000 plus shipping if I can get 10 or more of you interested. We can also do a 2 antenna mat option for $650.00. No obligation at this point, I just need to know if there is enough interest.

I'm interested if I can find the funding :)

[Peak Performance Timing]

I might possibly be interested too, I am deciding on which mat to go with, I really like these and the Blackbox ones because they are Horizontally polarized,and would work in conjunction with things in my current setup without changing tag orientation on the bib.....but the Race/Result mats seem a bit more rugged and friendlier to open up and separate/combined. Is there a video link of these somewhere showing a large truck running over these like the RR mats? Or is there one that shows separating?

[Peak Performance Timing]

Here is a link on Alibaba.com offering Macsha foldable antennas for $1000 each for 10-49 units 

https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Foldable-Floor-Antenna-for-UHF-timing_50037983643.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.239.a8f8342dYLgNf7

[5Kevents.org]

Holy smokes! That would be phenomenal - Is it in US Dollars?

[Peak Performance Timing]

Yep!

[Christopher Regan]

That would be great. I paid $800 for 2 small mats.

[Joe Laughlin]

J7 Sports is interested in a mat.

[Jeff Proctor - CKRM]

Count me in

[Peak Performance Timing]

If we can get them for$1000 each from Alibaba.com I would be interested in 2.

[5Kevents.org]

OK, I think we are at 7 right now. so just need three more to make this happen.

I'll need to know what you are all using for readers so we order the right connections. We are hoping to have by Thanksgiving, so no rush on our part but if anyone else has a time frame we can push harder to get these earlier. 

[5Kevents.org]

If it get's down to where we only have 9 people, we can offer to finance this for you.

[Christopher Regan]

I mean I'd be interested in 2 as well but would probably be hard for me to pull together $2k + shipping without using a credit card. :)

Christopher

[countycoachmo]

MOGO Timing would be interested at $1000 as well.

[blueridgetiming]

Do we have any evidence of how well they actually work? 

[Peak Performance Timing]

There you go getting all practical and technical Blueridge..... 😆

[5Kevents.org]

What we will do is allow credit cards for the order. We will create a form for everyone so we get it right for each of us. Specifically connection cables. We will have the entire order shipped to our office, then repack and ship to each of you. I know it will be  a lot of work for us but we need two units and the savings is worth the time. I would imagine shipping cost would not be too ridiculous unless someone needs for a specific date.

[reece.bell]

I would definitely be interested too. Is this happening mid November?

[5Kevents.org]

We will order once we know we have enough people interested so we can get the discount.

[blueridgetiming]

I mean I'm just saying...

I've ordered the 4 foot sections from them in the past, and I also have Race Result mats and there is a difference in read rates

[Christopher Regan]

I mean I've been happy with my 2 chafon mats but they are just so heavy and unwieldy. I have a feeling they wouldn't be any worse than those.

[Peak Performance Timing]

Blueridge,

Now you are making me a doubter....tell is more about your experience with their 4 ft sections you ordered. I think the technology inside these units is the same as their older ones, just more flexible material and foldable.

[blueridgetiming]

I'm not trying to make anyone a doubter, I'm just putting out the fact that perhaps it may be worthwhile for a test before going in to get 10+ of these that's all. It could be that they work really, really well, but then again, if we are willing to get an order of 10+ together, perhaps the company would be willing to send a test unit for someone to try out and offer their feedback to the group before we all committed. 

In my opinion, there are a few other things to consider besides the internal antennas. For example:

• How durable are the hinges?
  
• Are the mats likely to slide?
• What material is the mat made out of? Is it really hard plastic where participants (specifically in spikes) may slip?

After all they are blue, so that makes me a fan....but I'd also like for them to work :)

[Joe Fertsch]

I just went to race result mats. Yes expensive but so durable and great read rates But did I say expensive.

[5Kevents.org]

Anybody want to inform me of the port on the FX9500? I have to say I'm not entirely sure

Thanks

[Tim Irvine]

I believe you will want the connector to be RP-TNC Male for the FX9500. Somebody chime in if I am wrong please. I looked up the cable I bought and that is what they say they are. 

[Peak Performance Timing]

quick questions:

1) Literature says the end segments are empty.....of the 8 total segments do 6 have antennas? or only 3?

2) Are you able to separate unit into 2 shorter units? or are the hinges fixed and non removable?

3)The literature says they are "longitudinal or linear polarized" Which way is the order being made? which one works with tags horizontal on bibs?

[5Kevents.org]

Good Questions, I will check with Mascha

[Tim Irvine]

I believe the Macsha mats have 4 antennas

[5Kevents.org]

1) Literature says the end segments are empty.....of the 8 total segments do 6 have antennas? or only 3? there are 4 antennas in 10 segments. The end segments are empty.

2) Are you able to separate unit into 2 shorter units? or are the hinges fixed and non removable? The end segments are always empty. For instance, They can make 2 independent sets of 2 antennas and place longer cables in one of them so they can go underneath the other set to the same reader. Or any other combination you need. 

3)The literature says they are "longitudinal or linear polarized" Which way is the order being made? which one works with tags horizontal on bibs? longitudinal works with tags horizontal on bibs. 

[Peak Performance Timing]

Ok...awesome....the reason I was asking about the separation, was because I was wondering if you could separate them if you had a situation where your finish area needed to be narrow. Then you could separate (?) And have a second line. I think you are saying that is possible.

[Jeff Proctor]

So, is it an option for the tag to go horizontal or vertical? I use the dogbone in a vertical position.

[5Kevents.org]

yes, totally.

[Motor City Timing]

Out of curiosity, I've been using Brian's setup for about 2 months now and I am starting to get a steady influx of potential clients. I've been letting them know that I use a shoe tag (Brian's) and I've noticed that some race directors are a little put off by the shoe tag idea. I assure them they will get great reads (and they do) but there is something about the mats that makes them feel better. Has anyone else noticed that? I'm happy with how things are going for me, being so new to it all, but I would love to get those extra races that are looking for mats.

Nick

Motor City Timing

[Ohio Race Day]

Nick,

We see that too.  People are used to bib numbers with RFID tags and mat antennas like what's used in the "big" races.  They don't understand that RFID can perform in other ways just fine.  I had a guy call for a quote and then get slightly indignant that we don't have an inflatable finish line structure despite the fact that we are half the price of other timers.  LOL.

[Motor City Timing]

Lol, he probably could have bought his own inflatable with the savings :)

[Ted Finch]

I like to emphasise that we use re usable tags and so don't contribute to 'land fill' so we are both economic and eco friendly.

Ted

[5Kevents.org]

It's all perception. You can actually get better accurate timing doing manual timing with small races under 200  then chip timing with a shot gun start... which most races are. Shoe Tags are by far the best option but again perception and some race directors think they are inconveniencing the runners which I think is bull...  A few might complain but it is much more accurate and the results are better.

With that said, even my own staff wants bib tags for the same reasons... It's a struggle.

[5Kevents.org]

Great News! Talked with Masha about alternate configurations to meet all of our unique needs. We were able to put together 4 different set-ups, they are as follows: (Use discount code "agee") Remember this is a one time thing. In the future you'll need to order direct from Mascha (Normally $1700 plus shipping)- Because we are doing this as a group we are able to get it down to $1000.00, a $700 Savings! You can save even more by ordering the 2 antenna option and incorporating your side antennas that Agee provides.

OPTION 1: 1 FULL SET WIDTH: 16.4042 Feet. There are 4 antennas in 10 segments. The end segments are empty.

OPTION 2: 2 SMALLER SETS: 16.4042 Feet. - 5 segments of 1.64042 ft each (with one end segment empty). This is the same width as above but consist of 2 independent sets. (2 antennas on each set. One set will have longer cables in one of them so they can go underneath the other set to the same reader. Or can be used completely separate.)

OPTION 3: 3 PORT SET: 13.1233 Feet - 8 segments of 1.64042 ft each (with the two end segments empty).

OPTION 4: 2 PORT SET: 9.8425 Feet. - 6 segments of 1.64042 ft each (with the end segments empty).If you do a lot of trail runs with a narrow finish line (Typically 10 ft) this may be better suited for your environment. Just specify short or long cables. You may also add side antennas for extra range if needed.

Foldable Antennas
Datasheet Foldable Antenna

They cover FCC mhz range 900 and connector replaceable to be compatible with other Timing systems.

RETAIL PRICE is 1700 $ + shipping (Group Buy is $1000 Full unit . This is a one time buy in )

[Christopher Regan]

I assume if I already paid things will be checked before the final order?

Christopher

[Brian Agee]

If I ever get the vibe from a race director that reusable tags are a problem I typically explain the following:

• Nobody is charged for tags that are not returned, we simply try to get back as many as we can so that it keeps our costs down.
• Unlike what you've probably seen from other timing companies - We do not try to collect them right when people finish. The finish line is not impeded at all. We simply ask the participant to return the tag before they leave the race.

Again, I think in most cases when people hear "reusable" they imagine a nightmare process of trying to collect the tags back from the participants and that the race or the participant will get charged for tags that are not returned. We've all probably ran in races where they were waiting for you with wire cutters right when you finish, I always hated that. When I explain that we simply ask the  voluntary and can be done any time before they leave the event (and that we have a touch-less kiosk where they can scan and return their tags at the same time) then the race director typically flips and sees it as a very good thing.

Also, I've been telling the participants to pin on tag on each side of their shorts, this way it's faster and easier to attach/detach.

[5Kevents.org]

Yes - We will follow up and verify every ones order with a phone call before we order.

[5Kevents.org]

We usually place bins to put the tags in throughout  the venue so it's obvious before the race starts they can return them anywhere. 

[Patrick W]

Patrick, what is the expected turn around time for these?  I'm considering a set, but because I'm not in the states (but will be visiting there in November) wondering if it's possible to arrange things so I can ship to me while I'm in the US and avoid the stupid costs that would connect with shipping directly here.

I'd love to join your order but by the time I got them shipped to the UK and pay the import duty it probably won't be much different to what the UK supplier wants. I'd be really interested to hear everyone's thought's on them once you have them.

[Peak Performance Timing]

Not trying to be difficult here, but I was just trying to decide what type of mat configurations I want to order. I was looking at the options and am a little confused about the spacing of the antennas in the mats. On all options the end  sections are empty, but with the number of remaining sections and the number of antennas indicated, I am trying to get a handle on which segments have antennas in them. For example, with X being an empty segement and O being and antenna segment am I to assume the 10 segment mat is configure XXOXOOXOXX ?  or  XOXOXOXOXX  ? or  XOXOXXOXOX ?  (this last one seems to make the most sense to me).  It seems to me that no matter how you space the antennas, with the end two segments blank, you will end up with two blank segments together somewhere along the mat. The question .....are then antennas spaced with two blank segments in the middle as depicted in my 3rd configuration? This seems to be the only logical way to cover two empty segments.

[5Kevents.org]

I'll have an answer on this shortly. 

[5Kevents.org]

4 weeks

[5Kevents.org]

We can make that happen

[5Kevents.org]

Not a problem, apologies for the confusion. So basically the standard, is having the end segments empty and ONLY the end ones. Our antenna design allows us to place 1 antena inside 2 segments and none of those are empty (OO = 1 antenna = 2 segments)

- OPTION 1: 10 segments:  XOOOOOOOOX 

- OPTION 2: 5 segments + 5 segments: XOOOO + OOOOX

- OPTION 3: 6 segments + 6 segments: XOOOOX + XOOOOX

- OPTION 4: 8 segments:  XOOOOOOX 

 

Let me know if you now its clear. 

[Peak Performance Timing]

Ok...AWESOME!.....Thanks

I'm getting one. I've decided. This is a big investment for me after purchasing all the equipment to get up and running but I feel like this deal is too good to pass up. My main client base at this point is smaller 5k's, color runs, and such. I'm deciding on whether to do option 1 (one piece) or option 2 (two pieces) and I'm looking for some opinions. I like the idea of mobility with 1 piece. It's easier to set up, allows for a wide finish line. Are there any downside to having one piece? If I need a skinnier start/finish I can always fold up a few segments at the end, right?

With option 2, the two piece system, the most appealing thing to me is being able to only bring one segment if needed and being able to use the other piece as a backup. Are there any other advantages/disadvantages you guys can think of?

Thanks for the help!

Nick

[Peak Performance Timing]

Nick,

My thoughts were along the same lines as yours about folding them up, etc. I am ordering the one piece options. You can narrow by folding and not attaching the antenna in that (those) segment(s), but I am also hoping that when we actually see them, there may be a way to separate them ourselves? I know that with the Race/Result antennas this can be done easily, but it may not be possible or just may not be that easy with these. We will see. Personally I would lean toward the longer ones if you can only get one.If two are use in one line, I see a potential problem of them sliding when someone steps/stops right on the seam where they lie together but aren't connected. 

[Joe Laughlin]

Patrick - 

I completed the request form for the shorter Mascha mat. As I went through the process, the page switched to Paypal and requested payment for the shipping. Is this correct or do I do something different?

[5Kevents.org]

the paypal should include the shipping and the unit combined. if it does not, then you need to go back and make sure quantity is checked.

[Patrick W]

Technicality question (and why I never allow midnight deadlines on meets because it just causes issues) - are orders are open until the midnight starting the 1st or the one ending it? Timing toys for me have to be meet funded and I'm waiting on people to pay their f'n bills (the 30% exchange doesn't help lol).

[5Kevents.org]

We all understand that! :) Midnight  on the 1st.  We will process on the 2nd , but should you miss the deadline it's a pretty grey deadline until we have processed the order on the 2nd. Just call or email me if you miss it. My cell is 262.620.2018. We are anxious to get these in hands as we want to test them before the thanksgiving Turkey Trots.

What is the coupon code for Agee users?

[Tim Irvine]

Hey when the mat antennas come in, you guys be sure to post feedback. I am very curious how they perform for you guys.

[Phil Cook]

I'm really keen to hear how these perform, I've been intouch with Mascha UK about price, options and availability.

[Jon Beverley]

I may be interested too. Maybe we can do a UK bulk order?

[Phil Cook]

The prices they've quoted me are:

The price for the 5m antennas are £1270 +VAT each and it comes with the strap handle too. We are based in Hatfield and you are welcome to collect directly from our warehouse. We can also post them to you and we charge a small £17.95 delivery and handling charge. At the end of August the had 8 in stock, would have to check current status.

The price for the 4 meter floor antenna is £1150 +VAT

They have an offer on in October for a 3m mat:

Yes, this new 3 meter antenna has just been launched and reduced 20% in whole of October. The 3 meter mat will use 2 ports in your reader.

The product on offer this October is for the 3 meter floor antenna option only (as well as the side antennas x 2) . Normal price £720 +VAT, in October they are only £576 +VAT

[Tim Irvine]

When are the mats due to be delivered? I am curious about the results 

[5Kevents.org]

They are in production and scheduled to ship to us on or about Nov. 1 - We will then repack and ship to each location.

[Tim Irvine]

Cool, make sure you guys all post your results. I wasn't bold enough to pull the trigger, but I will if you guys all love them.

[5Kevents.org]

UPDATE: Mats will be shipped to us on Friday, Once we receive them we will break down and ship to individual locations. Our best scenario is we will have by Nov. 7.

[Jason Swan]

I certainly would appreciate, and I am sure others would as well, if people in this buy could post their impressions and experiences once they receive these mats. 

The group buy was not an option for me as I did not find out of the events that I will likely be doing timing/results for are a go until after the group buy closed.  As I am now in a position where I am looking to add a chip system to supplement my flynx systems for timing XC (and likely hopefully expanding from just track meets and occassional XC to include road races/fun runs), I am now seriously looking at getting a set of mats.  I am looking hard at the macsha's as the RR are the next option but very much a Cadillac when I really just need an econobox. It will be very valuable to get first hand feedback from people in this buy....

[5Kevents.org]

UPDATE ON THE MATS - 

Macsha has been extremely disappointing with their communication and delivery of the products. We fully expected units to arrive today, when I followed up we were once again given an excuse. At this point, I am not confident we will have them in time for Thanksgiving. Let me know your thoughts on the communication below. Can everyone be patient or would you like us to refund you?

How do we handle returns (if they ever show up).

Why have we not gotten tracking numbers?

We were told these shipped last week? We trusted you to ship these, and forwarded the balance immediately.

Would you continue to do business with a company that you can not trust? Please tell me something that will give us faith and hope in your organization as we are extremely frustrated at the moment. We need you to give us confidence that you are a reliable company and good with your word.

Can you please wire the 50% remaining to avoid further delay in the process!

@Federico perhaps we need to request it through the payment platform (Veem I believe)

Thanks

I'm in no rush. Having dealt with backing projects and delays I know things happen. Not having a tracking number though is a bit sketchy but I wouldn't become that worried yet.

Not in a rush, although the lack of communication and follow through is disappointing. I'm not concerned at the moment but even another week would make me start to question things. Not interested in a refund. Thanks Patrick!!

Hey Patrick,

     I don't have an order on this, but I think you'll be ok. I have a pending order on an arch right now from China and the communication is hard, but I think it will work out in the end. Sounds like nobody is pushing the panic button yet. Just make sure everyone posts the results so we can get an idea if they are all we hope they'll be. Thanks for your work on spearheading this Patrick! Tim

Thank you... I needed that response as I am highly stressed out with the delays. :)  I'm old school if I tell someone something I stand behind my words. I expect our vendors to do the same (with some latitude) and this didn't happen.W e've really extended that latitude with Macsha and I don't want our reputation soiled in the process.  I still hope we can have a great relationship with them,  but we're off to a poor start.  We need to trust our vendors will communicate and deliver timely. This was more than a small hiccup from our viewpoint.  This is the very reason we use Agee's system, he 100% stands behind everything he touches. 

Again, thank you for your comments, they help a lot!

It's not much to stress about, there is nothing you can do about it. Lead times for manufacturing is an estimate so they may make it or not and you just have to roll with it.

It's annoying for me because I was hoping to take advantage of a trip I am doing this weekend anyway to let me get them home for free because of the tax/duty allowance of our group, but just means I will have to figure out the best plan to get them. But you win some you lose some 😊.

Watching tracking is like waiting for Christmas :D

Im sure all will be fine,

Its  going to be a great success, Macsha look like a good brand  and I am confident that results will exceed all expectations
