Xiaomi FZ101 Portable Zoom Flashlight - (closed)

Definitely interested. I have several Xiaomi products and have been very happy with all of them.

  • Emitters: Cree XP-L HI
  • Color Temperature: 5500k

Curious if the CCT spec is accurate.

Size: 120mm x 25mm

Also curious for beam of the double lens system

Interested

Interested, maybe, would want to see the beam first.

But why would you make an integrated battery 2600 mAh instead of 3500 mAh? This way I don’t even have the option of putting in a bigger battery…

Interested depending on price and possibility of a replaceable battery.

Interested depending on price.

Interested, but depends on price, and would like to see a review too.

Interested- price dependent

interested depending on price. :slight_smile:

thought it worked also as a powerbank, like the older model:

too bad, it would have been an interesting feature. Also bad choice for the cell and the price seems way too high…

Interested.

Interested, depends on $

Just received mine, might make a review later on.
First impressions:

Flood mode gives the typical even brightness that zoomies do, however it is slightly smaller than my led lenser p5r.2 which is about 60 degrees when fully zoomed out.
In spot it also doesn’t zoom as tight as the led lenser, with a bigger corona around the square die image.
Edges have a significantly yellow tint, while the led lenser is almost all pure white.

UI sucks, there are 4 modes then strobe and sos or blink and you need to cycle through all of them.
To turn on and off you need to hold the button down for like two seconds.
At least it has memory so you can just leave it on high and not have to see strobe when you want to turn it off.

I wish the host was just a few mms bigger diameter to fit 26650 cells, since it is significantly thicker than 18650 size.
The build quality seems good though, nice finish on the outside and smooth one-handed zoom.
Will be fun to mod this thing.

Does it also work as a power bank? What kind of input/output (type-C) and how many amps max charging current and output current?

Yeah it’s also a power bank, I will have to test it more to figure out the charging current and stuff like that.

I just lost my interest.

Thanks for the information.

Sounds like a bummer UI.

So, if you turn it off in High, turn it back on in High and then change modes, it goes to strobe? I really dislike having to go through blinky modes to get back to low.

Is there any way to directly access low from off?

I like the form factor of the light, but am not sure that I could tolerate the UI.

Also, are there any pocket clips that would work for this light? If I were to buy it, I would want to carry it clipped inside my back pocket.

I’m also considering the Wowtac A3S, but the 34mm diameter of it’s head deters me from having already bought it.
