After seeing a few threads of beamshots, I thought I would give this a try and after messing with the settings these seem to be similar to what I was seeing with my eyes… maybe just a tad darker. I live in the city and there is alot of ambient light in my surroundings.
Those are great shots, but kind of a low distance. The TK is supposed to throw to 600 meters... so not surprising that the king holds it's own at less than a quarter the distance.
Yeah I agree, there isnt enough distance to really show what the TK can do. There are no near areas around here in Los Angeles with a clear distance of 600 meters, theres either buildings or vehicles everywhere you look
I know the feeling. Where I live, in NJ, there are really no great areas to set up either, with any kind of distance. Adding insult to injury, parks are "closed" from dusk to dawn.
Well I went out for a small hike tonight and took my flashlights and camera in case I came across a nice area to take some beam shots. I found a few decent areas however there was a good amount of fog. Check out the pictures below. I used the same camera settings as stated on my first post.
First stop was to a water tank about 764ft (233m) away according to my phone app (not sure if it calculates elevation)

Just for giggles, I tried my Ultrafire C8:
And my second stop was 1607ft (490m)
Control Shot:

My last stop was to a top of a mountain which was about 692ft (210m)
