Recently there was a personal deal killer on a killer deal for the S11C. I don’t own any Sofirn flashes ….I know, blasphemy, Notta!
Butt I was curious since many here think they’re outstanding in general. The LH351D LED specifically makes it the prime attraction besides helping Jeff Bezos with the new yacht. So I was just about to pull the trigger and lose my virginity butt……
It has to be pretty much recharged with a USB-C.
Ya have any idear how many USB-micro cables I gots? Too many in that one’s somehow sticking outta my rear at the moment. I’m afraid to yank it out and possibly damage the cable. Priorities. Sensible. I’m the sensitive kind.
I guess some manufacturers market-target USB-Cers thinking that they’ve just captured a specific audience. Good for them. Personally I think it’s marketing silliness cuz for me at least they lost a sale (one step forward, one step back, sorta) and maybe future ones cuz I still won’t know how good Sofirn’s other offerings are. :student:
Well they didn’t capture me on the S11C. I know ya don’t care. I wouldn’t either if someone else wrote this thread.
Butt I absolutely refuse to be abused. Having me to rely on a basically as of yet a non-standard USB charging cable is akin to abusing myself. Why this adamant? Well ok let’s say I bought the S11C. Then I lose the USB-C cable. Watt do I do then? I gotta buy another USB-C cable to replace the one that came with the flash. Beyond all that I should then buy a sh*t of USB-C cables just in case I lose the second one too. This is nutz abusive.
As ya can see self-abuse is not notta’s thing. Except in certain circumstances which I won’t go into here.
That kinda self-abuse I’ll tolerate. :laughing:
Ranting off.
PS. By the overwhelming pro USB-C replies so far I’ve decided that I better get cracking on buying lots more if I wanna own the latest and greatest rechargeable flash offerings. Cuz of the 5V output cable. Ya know so far I’ve never had problems with the ruggedness of USB-micros to the extent that I’d pass up on anything that has one - especially great deals.
PSS. I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna carry a dinky adapter thingy to adapt to this marketing situation either. I guess rechargeable flashes with USB-C will not be my thang. Thanks for not caring. :laughing: :+1:
PSSS. Granted ya gotta insert the male into the female more GENTLY and also of course always in the cooooorrrrect orientation. No BFD. Same principles apply to lotsa thingy’s in life. Bottom line USB-micro charges up jazz every time. :laughing:
PSSSS. All this kinda reminds me of the U.S.A. ’s standard for ages 2-3 prong and 110v outlet symbiotic interchange. Should we go Europeon prongy cause the male goes in easier without orientation problems? :student: :laughing: :+1:
PSSSSS. Sheeit. It’s getting to the G-dam point where I’m gonna havta carry one of these fooking things somewhere in my EDC pants. Butt no, they had to “improve” rechargeable flashlights instead of leaving things well enuff alone like the U.S. 2 prong 110VOLT/15AMPS deal. Cuz ya know, it’s SOOOOO much better. Yes for 5V & 200ma. Extreme flash electrocution hazards notwithstanding. Oooooooooo. :laughing:
