Hey friends. I am finishing up Hanks Z1 heatsinks today and a few extra ones. Made some a couple weeks back but wasn’t completely happy with them so I remade them. I also have XP sized centering gaskets for the Z1.
Finally got round the assembling my Z1 today, bit disappointing with the driver though which is the FX6 from Kai Domain. States 5a 2.3a and 800ma but its actually 5amps 500ma and 100ma…
Never the less an XHP70 at 5a is very bright to me anyway, ill get some beamshots shortly
Really rubbish picture was at least 70m to the beach, pissing off pedestrians and watching them retaliate with there feeble torches was fun though. Shame about the crosshair!
Yes
The 1504 is very clunky with wobbly zooming action.
I like the weight and big lens because it looks impressive.
Last time I had it out was when my Cometa came.
The Cometa had a better flood and better zoom and better zooming action. So it may be clear the Z1 is surpasses the Cometa on all aspects hence I did not even bother to take the 1504 out of the cupboard
Anyone have any suggestions for removing the LED center cover from the Z1? I have tried having someone hold the light while I try to turn the cover using a nail in each hole. It did not budge.
Also, I noticed when ordering Z1 parts in addition to a Z1 host, the shipping costs continue to rise to about $20. Is this correct?
Use some slim needle nose or snap ring pliers Brett. Be careful and don’t let them slip.
And I don’t know about the shipping on that stuff? I was gonna order some small parts from Jaxman and the shipping has always just seemed way to high on AliExpress?? Maybe there is some way to do it that this does not happen but I have no idea
But hey, what do I know I am an ‘old fart’ ya’ know……….
:+1: … Thanks ‘hank’, your the man!!! …
I should have read on down the page when I clicked on the link, my bad. :person_facepalming: … (you should have too ’Brett H’……… … … )
I had read this but something was lost in the translation, for me anyway. I added these parts to my cart in a single order and the shipping did reduce to less than what was stated individually, however the reduction was fairly minimal. Here is a screenshot:
