You can’t go wrong with the first one, it works; but it would be nicer if it was a bit shorter for a perfect fit. Second option is probably better if you go with some thin racket grip tape as I mentioned.
I’ve had this flashlight for a month and can give a short review.
The light has a high output even in the SST20 4000K version. It’s not very throwy, more of a floody but dut to ots hight output can shine far away even with its floody beam.
There are some thermal issues with this light but if you are not fixating on them you may even not notice. There is a mod prepared by “man of light” to fix them. Also “lexel” contacted manufacturers so maybe they will implement it in future runs.
The voltage measurement may not be 100% correct but you can flash the firmware to correct it.
The flashlight body is robust and if you drop it it will most likely fall on the ss bezel or bottom. I dropped it a few time and it still works great. Its bit scratched and beaten up but didnt fail on me.
I only used the USB C charger once and it worked very well and acceptably fast.
Considering the price I paid for it, there are few bugs they should fix in next versions, but all in all a great flashlight, I EDC it. Currently my favourite dog walking, poop picking flashlight.
When i charge for the first time my mini with usb the green not turns on , after that i discharge and charge the battery with a Charger and Green turn on.
Goy my MF01 mini yesterday in gunmetal grey 5000k… feels great its very bright on turbo, alot more then my ff e07 and d4s emisar. I just wish the aux leds on high were brighter I thought first i was on low but then realized they arent that bright on high compared to my ff e07 or emisar… i know u can manually turn them up with a screwdriver but im not gonna bother with that… should have been possible adjusted with low and high mode in settings instead imo hen have to screw up the lens… but still a great light finish is good and the neutral tint looks good.
i like how the aux leds change color depending on battery voltage.
The mf01 mini has become my favorite in the bag light which used to be my D4s. Did some tint mixing on mine to get my new favorite CCT 3500K and turned out lovely. Very close to 3500K e21A.
