TK's Emisar D4V2 review

Is there a shortcut or a way to quickly switch to the maximum regulated mode? I am asking because it is a little difficult to catch it ramping output power up and down.

I worry about the mental health of many forum members here.

:person_facepalming:

Do you realize that Cassini suffered from a programming error that caused the loss of over 300 images? A Mars probe crashed into Mars because of a programming error. Those projects had huge budgets and many programmers and they still had bugs. I stand by what I said, and you are not a developer.

Yes, I’m angry, yes it bothers me.

I have two lights on the shipment since July 17th. They arrive and won’t use them until I can upgrade the FW.

But !!!

Emisar lights are among the best that I own in my collection (more than 150 lamps).
Considering the price / performance ratio / quality / processing quality / dimensions this is the best result.
I’ll wait for the flash kit and fix the lanterns.
I will always buy products from Hank.
I will not request any refunds.

I look forward to being repaired and even more happy to repair and if I can.
I want more lights from Hank and TK, so I will at least support them.
Sorry for using the translator.

So… is that a yes or a no for the free flashing kit? If it’s a “yes” I’ll need a shipping address.

Some big assholes here on blf :person_facepalming:

Is there an updated thread with all the relevant information, downloads and tutorial for all operating systems.
I had a brief look into it yesterday, no muggle is going to find reflashing the firmware that easy I think.

+1 to this. I think the solution of reflashing is fine for most. But it needs to be dead simple what to download and how to reflash the light.
@Fabien, calm down man, the community is discussing this, this takes some time but it will result in a good solution. If you and your lawyer friends still have problems with this light go for a Chinese lawsuit :slight_smile: instead of fouling this forum.

Here’s an interesting thread of how to flash an emisar D4.
It doesn’t look so difficult

Hey Petr!
If you can’t reflash the FW by your own, Zozz (from Hungary) offered some help to the community, in case you want/can send your lights to him.
Here’s the post link:

:+1:

Thinkin‘ about some people longing for a lawsuit reminds me of this great movie... :-D

The programming key ordering will take too long so I made my own from scratch:

Shipping to and from Hungary is expensive. As I wrote when I manage to fix it, I will be very happy and also learn something new. I like the lights. But thank you for your help.

P.S. I checked the price, postage from the Czech Republic to Hungary is $ 25. That’s crazy.

Oops, sorry, I thought it was less expensive :zipper_mouth_face: Shipping within Europe is getting more and more expensive :zipper_mouth_face:
But yeah, this may be an opportunity to get some new “tools” and learn new things!
Wish you luck on that and I hope you can solve that situation :+1:

I would also offer flashing but honestly it will be more cost effective to just buy the flashing kit and learn how to flash in the process. You may even have fun along the way.

I need to stop looking at this thread. I keep wanting to comment but I know I shouldn’t :zipper_mouth_face: :zipper_mouth_face: :zipper_mouth_face:

Received my grey D4v2 wit SS bezel today ten days after ordering, and currently admiring the rainbow AUX lights. What an amazing little torch! The amount of light that it puts out is phenomenal, and the SST-20 5000k has a really nice tint. It will be interesting to compare it with the 4000k 95CRI once the MF01S starts shipping. The sand / gold coloured D4v2 does look a lot nicer in the latest photos than I had originally imagined it, so I might have to buy another one with the warmer tint.

I wasn’t very keen on the original D4 so I sold it, but this one is definitely a keeper! :slight_smile:

Plus, upon release of the sources one can even tailor the UI to certain default values/modes I imagine. But then it’s our own responsibility to not have the Emisar burning down our homes :person_facepalming:

I have all the lights from Emisar and they are all great in their category. Still add USB C recharging and D4 V2 would be even better. If it were possible to connect to the data via USB C, it would be a dream lamp.
