My first Beamshot Comparison !

[gords1001]

I too am interested in the tri pod mount, I saw using a piece of guttering with a nut and bolt and some foam tbh :bigsmile:

Thanks for the shots, that’s a nice collection to haul with you on holiday.

Very nice beam shots! But come on, feet? Even ANSI/NEMA FL1 Standard is using meters.

True. i could have used Meters as i live in Metric Canada.

I’m surprised the SRK could light up the trees so brightly. Even more surprised to see the M4 being so powerful.
Very nice shots by the way. I like the use of the remote trigger, I should probably get one so I don’t have to keep touching my camera and risk moving it.

the 4-XM-L Skyray i have seems to be a “good” version, as its noticably more powerful than all my other flooders.

@fishmaniac

Not bat at all…

I was impressed with this DST i picked up. (out of 3 i bought, this one seemed to be a little brighter hotspot than the other 3 super Throwers. ) it does come close to the (stock X6 for the throw up to about 250 meters, after that it seems to be a bit weaker.

( I have to figure out how to post these Mouse-over pics and get them to work.

Would you mind taking a picture or two of your v block set up?

Here is my Light Test Tripod rig, here with a Nitcore EA4W for size relevance.
it holds pretty much every shape & size of light i have, from the 25 LB Cyclops 55W HID search light to my tiny Thrunite Ti.

That’s a pretty smart setup. I’ve rigged a big clamp setup and it works, but big lights like the SR90 gets kinda sketchy with it. Never thought about the simple fact that the lights can just “sit” in a channel like you have. Makes sense. We might have to try a setup like yours.

Thank You sir. I like that.

Awesome beamshots Den! I like the setup too. Is that the Sky Eye F13 you won from me?

I tried various clamp methods, tubes, etc. too and some worked well with the smaller lights, but the larger heavier ones i have had holding issues in them, but this foamed v-block has worked for them all so far.
