My question is the use of the extension tube. As I look at both of the battery holders — There isn’t a locating pin hole that orients correctly the stock factory end cap in either.
If anyone runs an extension tube how did you resolve using the stock end cap with that locating pin ??
I ordered a couple of them with all the accessories — One Black and one Red.
The extension tubes can only be ordered in Black.
I ordered a month ago from Banggood.
To my question — I looked a bit closer and It looks like one has to remove the battery end piece in the stock cap by removing the phillips screw and remove the complete assembly. I’m not going touch until this question is answered.
I believe that tube will only work with the MF01, not the MF01s. The 01 had battery carriers. The MF01s doesn’t use battery carriers but has the machined carrier integrated into the tube.
Mine just cleared customs, time to order batteries. Either button or flat unprotected correct? Trying to decide button 30q’s or flat molicells.anyrhing better?
It’s not a bad light. About a year ago we had a power test (do it annually) in our work building where they exercise all the power switches/breakers (big ones) and I brought the MF01 in for light while the power was out. People said it “was brighter than the sun”. http://www.capellatowerat225.com/
As an experiment I used a set of protected EVVA 3500ma protected batteries. Slightly longer so I didn’t tighten the end cap tight. Light works fine on all settings except Turbo — Where it instantly shuts off as the protection circuit kicks in on the batteries. They just can’t deliver the amperage needed on this setting. The 30Q’s work perfectly.
Also did another experiment using the Lightning and Candle modes — Short video.
The camera really struggled to capture — Much better in person.
