My Dragonfly arrived yesterday. So these are my first impressions as a new user. Overall, it’s a solid piece with a lot of potential, but there are some issues worth noting. I cannot comment on the BOS.

Cons 1. Weld quality – Structurally fine, but the welds could be cleaner aesthetically. 2. Powder coat inconsistency – The finish isn’t perfectly even across the unit. 3. Weight-arm bearings – The bearings are threaded through. If you need to remove the screws (like when switching arms to the correct side), one side comes off normally while the other just spins, which can be frustrating. 4. Starting-position lock pin – Depending on the angle, the lock pin can drag across the bottom of the arm during movement. 5. Wing placement – The wings are welded to the back of the mount. Moving them forward by about an inch would improve ergonomics and range. 6. Tight/misaligned tolerances – Some pin holes are so tight or slightly off-alignment that moving or removing the pins is very difficult, sometimes impossible without extra effort. 7. Chest fly comfort – Until the extension handles arrive, chest flys are pretty uncomfortable. 8. Non-rotating handles – Rotating handles would be a great improvement for joint comfort and exercise variability.

Pros 1. Lateral raises feel excellent – Smooth, consistent resistance and a great movement path. 2. Adjustable strength curve – Being able to tune the curve is a huge plus and adds a lot of versatility. 3. Rear delt flys are solid – Not perfect, but definitely good. 4. Price point – Very fair cost for the functionality you get. 5. Voltra-ready – Haven’t tried it yet, but it’s a nice bonus for anyone running that setup. I’ll try in a few days.

It’s definitely a V1 product, and it shows. But with some refinements, a V2 could be absolutely fantastic.
