*** NEW *** Manker MK39 Ranger. 2018-05-22: New video!

Exactly my thoughts on this.
A cross/mix between Blackshadow Terminator and Fenix TK76.

I like the design, A lot. Looks bloody good to me.
Still handy&compact enough with plenty of output.

Would like to see test results, especially regarding actual output & throw. (and UI :slight_smile:

Cheers
Nico

Another video. :sunglasses:

Thanks, we always try to do something different but follow

Saw the video. That’s pretty nice that it uses a XHP35 along side some XP-G3. It’s an interesting, innovative design.

Love it! Groundbreaking design form, when will it be available?

Looks like they will offer two versions for the 8x LEDs …XP-G3 or Nichia 219 :+1:

.

UI on this looks awesome, dual switch - 1-click quick access to either throw or flood, with ramping on both. And both can be active simultaneously.

This is an awesome design and I applaud Manker for doing it. I’d buy this in a heartbeat if the price is reasonable!

I like the handle also, like Blackshadow Terminator. :+1: But I didn’t like the 2nd version Terminator when they removed the button from the handle.

Looking at this light and imagine it without the handle, because of it’s shape, it doesn’t look like something you would want to use without the handle, so I’d never need to remove it.

I don’t see the need to remove the handle at all. The handle is much comfortable to hold on than holding the fat battery tube.
I wonder in what situation do we want to remove the handle?

I totally agree.

.

I guess people want to put in their pocket. For this light because of it’s shape, it wouldn’t even look right without the handle. It’s not round like other soda can lights, the offset “lobe” shape of the head is conducive for a handle and not without one.

.

I don’t think it’s meant to be a pocket light, but I’m sure there could be a holster to work with it.
A Nitecore TM26 holster works great for the BS Terminator with handle.

Ya, I think of people want to carry it in jacket pocket too.
For this flashlight, I would choose ergonomic handle with buttons those are fun to use over smaller size for putting into jacket pocket.
For smaller soda size flashlight will be more suitable to carry in jacket pocket.

I think we’re all ready here to see some specs. Lumens and lux please! :smiley:

Anyone know is it already in the production stage? And is there somewhere we can check progress, availability date, etc.?

Didn’t see a thread by Manker on it, and there’s nothing about it on their website.

Thread hijack. Needs triple XHP’s now with a battery pack upgrade from 6-18650’s to 6-20700’s

i played with it and liked it ;)

Do you have any knowledge of an estimated availability date?

no, sorry

coming soon ………

:beer:

Looking forward to the beautiful pictures! :partying_face:
