I see the J-Mate be advertised in magazines, etc... Do you have a scheduled date for when it will be produced and be available to the public?

I got a notice of a fed ex shipment, for next week. From Javad. It's my J-mate, I'm sure.
Questions. Does it come with a tripod, or tribrach?
I have a poor/bad foot on my LS. Will it affect things?
I'm excited. Does it come with a target?
How can you NOT be excited, about the most incredible survey system in the world?

Hi Nate,
I just received mine yesterday.
You will receive a unit and basics such as an AC adapter, cables with several adapters, LS Monopod Plate 3/8-16 x 3/8 - 16 and Monopod Tribrach Adapter Plate 3/8-16 (f) x 5/8-11 (m), a carrying case, UV filter and the white, square target. Feel free to contact me with questions, I am happy to chat.
I have not set this up yet however; I suspect an unstable tripod will just annoy the process.
I will be getting into setting up and running my first tests this weekend. The J-Mate has an SD port. Does anyone know if I need to add a card to operate the unit? I have an extra 8 GB card that is identical to what I am using in the LS.
Exciting times. I am really looking forward to this process and hope I can provide helpful feedback.

Pretty stoked, I received the J-Mate today. I updated my LS to the latest release version and tried to connect to the J-Mate - what is the wifi password to be able to connect?

Hmm, something isn't right, it prompts for a password and if I don't enter anything and hit ok, it says Password can't be empty!

Do I need a new OAF for the J-Mate or have to be on the prerelease version or something like that?

I see, I didn't realize I needed to be on testing.

Do you expect to move it to release version soon?

Hi Nate, I believe that the software is updated nearly daily so the testing branch is where its at for us...as volunteers.

We allow you the option of not using a tribrach and go directly to J-Pod.

Vintage ZEISS Ni 020A optical level has a tribrach that inspires me..

I think the simplest design would is to make the plate on the bottom of the angle encoder thicker so that it can have a threaded hole in its center along with 3 lugs for mounting it to a tribrach as it has now.
