I ordered four Shooter 2Xs in this group buy for myself and three friends.
The lights arrived in perfect condition with cells at ~3.5V. I’m very impressed with the build quality and finish.
Earlier in the thread I mentioned that I wanted to do something cool with the four lights before distributing them to their new owners.
Dale ( of course ) suggested building a quad with them…
The “coupler” is made of scrap plywood, hose clamps, a spare QR tripod plate, and the handle from the cellar door.
The lights are mounted on a tripod at head height. The X6 is on turbo with a fresh HG2 cell. The Shooter 2Xs are on high mode with freshly charged MAXTOCH protected cells.
My friend is standing against the fence about 120 yards away. This is my first attempt at beamshots, and I tried to get this exposure close to what I saw with my eyes.

These are tweaked to show the beam profiles:
I had only 30 minutes between dark and closing time at the park, and I couldn’t keep my friends waiting another day for their lights.
I will keep the coupler in case I can convince all three friends to lend me their Shooter 2Xs sometime… :laughing:
