Way too long. I ordered from Neals on 9/30. It is already in the US and sched to be delivered Tuesday.
MTN sells the D4V2 here in the US. Much faster.
My D4sV2 was shipped and arrived in 11 days from outdoor.
My cellphone cam does not have fixed settings so no.
But visually the difference is stunning.
And I agree, the D4 is one of the brightest lights out there for the size,
But does not hold a candle to the D4S
Finally Today http://intl-outdoor.com send me an email to informed me the order was shipped Today but nothing from Neals yet. I pay to Neals $11 for 5-7 days shipping. The original shipping was free. Still waiting for respond the emails at least.
21700 is nice but the head will remain the largest part so you won’t really gain much in the way of pocketability (is that a word?). That being said, 21700 is probably my favorite single cell light size for a belt or nightstand light.
From my very novice understanding is that the XP-L HD throws far, but it also stays cooler than the sst-20/40’s do. Im sure someone will chime in with more details
My fireflies e07 is a great example. Head close to same size as my d4s but I edc the e07 way more often. The d4svn is a lot more bulky to the fat body. Even though it’s shorter than the e07, it’s the thickness that matters. It’s also heavier as well. And when you put your hands in pocket, it feels more in the way due to the fat body.
