First report above
seems like TF did dim the switch led a bit, like on the proto
So side by side one could see it then.
If only one comes, itāll be harder
First report from the second batch! Thanks. :+1:
Some picts?
Whatās with the tube screwing?
Sounds like they went back to a round panhead, which is good.
Mine has landed in the USA, so tracking now works on the FedEx site. It says the shipment should arrive Thu 10/12/2017 by end of day! That actually seems like a long time, even for FedEx Smartpost. Iām hoping it comes near the beginning of the week instead.
And some glamour shots of the OG and Nitecore lanyard
Thanks for the picts! :+1:
It looks much better indeed.
The driver screws seem smallerā¦ M2.5 vs M3? Do they move freely though the holes in the PCB?
No problem.
Yeah looks way cleaner
Havent unscrewed them (yet) so donāt know mate
Thanks for the pics!
Can you show the LEDs of the switches next to each other?
I tried
but it is dark and they either both look like a torch or you can only see the leds
It is very minimal the difference but the 2nd one is a very tiny bit more dim but does have the T centered
Bump sensitivity is an inherent issue in any light without springs on both ends. However, longer cells or BAT- magnets would probably help. Iāve used this approach before and it was effective.
Another option is possibly adding some short/long press detection to the firmware and resuming at the previous level after a short press. This could probably make the Q8 tolerate pretty long interruptions of power, depending on how fast the MCUās SRAM decays. I suspect that a couple ānoinitā vars checked on boot could probably make bumps a non-issue.
> Bump sensitivity
Remember when joggers ran with portable CD players?
Those had to be developed to tolerate all sorts of bumping and jarring, I recall.
I guess they cached a few seconds of the recording. Like the ā5-second obscenity delayā on live television ā¦
Posting as a heads up that the Q8 will lose connection if dropped/bumped from the tailcap (seems obvious) but just wanted to make people aware of this now so they donāt freak out later.
Note: I am using button top 30Q batteries
To clarify, I am using 30Q button tops from MTN Electronics that appear to be about 66.5mm. Also to clarify this is not something I am hugely concerned about. I have a M43 which had a similar issue and I have never run into an issue with that yet and am not worried either.
Are those screws from the new batch?
Latest picts a few post back are from the second batch.
I tried my Q8 in the Haikelite SC01 box. And it fits nice next to the SC01. Or only Q8 with a spare set of batteries.

I prepared the cheat sheet in the Hungarian language. This is not a small but quite understandable thing I think. Anyone who needs this can download it on THIS LINK.

Bought this camera lens case from a charity shop for the equivalent of $1
Seems perfect for my Q8, added a few familiar objects for scale.

That should work nicely Zulumooseā¦. good score!!
I like the fact that it is a hard case too, as it will offer more protection.

Very nice!
Thanks
