Important Notice: 5.0 BETA Firmware

You have selected 5.0 BETA firmware. BETA firmware is a pre-release version that includes new features and improvements, while rare, BETA firmware could contain bugs or usability issues. Please consider the following information before proceeding:

What is BETA Firmware?

  • Early Access: BETA firmware allows early access to new features that are not yet available in Stable Releases.
  • Testing and Feedback: It is intended for users who are willing to provide feedback and help identify any bugs or issues.
  • Potential Risks: There may be minor bugs, feature limitations, or performance issues.

Important Considerations

  • Are you comfortable troubleshooting and reporting any issues?
  • Do you understand the steps required to revert to a Stable Release if needed?
  • Do you have time to update your firmware more frequently, knowing that some updates may require a wireless reprogrammer?

Recommended Action

If you are not familiar with BETA testing, we recommend selecting the Stable Release version instead for the highest level of stability and support. For more details on our firmware release process, please review our complete guide here. If you have questions or need further assistance, please reach out to our support team.

  • Due to supply chain shortages, the wire color may be all blue, all yellow, blue / white, or other varying colors. This is a temporary change, and the igniters will perform at full capacity and function.
  • MJG Initiators must be purchased alone. Checkout cannot be completed if other non-MJG initiator items are in your shopping cart.

    • The only non-regulated electric match on the market, MJG Initiators will perform exactly the same as traditional e-match, but without the need for any certification.

    Visco Shroud Initiators come with a pre-installed tube that fuse is inserted into. Simply insert the fuse, apply tape, and your effect is ready to reliably fire.

    Looking to wire Quickplugs igniters in series or parallel? Check out the Quickplug Breakout Board (Series) or Quickplug Series Breakout Board (Parallel) to make the process as simple as plugging in more quickplugs.

    How long does it take to receive MJG initiators (and what is the difference between USPS and FedEx)?

    When ordering MJG initiators, it is essential to factor in the shipping time. This is even more important around major holidays, as shipping times can be extended due to higher-than-average shipping volumes with USPS and FedEx.

    Due to hazmat shipping regulations, we are not able to ship MJG Initiators outside of the United States at this time.

    Shipping Option Delivery Time Surcharge, in addition to standard shipping fee
    FedEx Ground Hazardous Shipping 1 - 5 Business Days $25.50
    FedEx Priority Overnight Hazardous Shipping Next business day $80
