[lelueck]

This is not the same as the PD10R5 is it?

[goingprepared]

@lelueck I think the one in this video was an R2, but our current stock is the R5 version.

HEY!

Fenix PD10 or 47's Mini 123???

please, give some feedback (=

[goingprepared]

@tigreslokos The Mini is smaller with about the same output, so I would go with that.

[tigreslokos]

@goingprepared thanks for the response man, but does the mini have a clip?

[goingprepared]

@tigreslokos Nope, no clips on the Minis yet, other than the AA2.

[tigreslokos]

@goingprepared hmm, that is a little downside.. but well it has the key ring hole (=

[classof77]

@goingprepared Respectfully disagree. The Mini 123 is a neat little light but the Fenix PD10 has a pocket clip, better ergonomics (much easier to use 1-handed than the stubby Mini), better fit and finish, and it has a superior beam. My Mini's beam is greenish; my PD10's a clean neutral white.

The Mini is lighter. Some people prefer the Mini's output modes (3-->40-->189 lumens) vs. PD10 (95-->6-->190 lumens).

I mostly use the medium and low and find the PD10 an overall more enjoyable light.

@classof77 I have a 4sevens mini that I really like, but the idea of a nice pocket clip is enticing. Would you recommend the PD10 as a good additional light?

[classof77]

@fjfjrfjfjr I would. It's a more "throwy" alternative to the Mini 123 -- the Fenix has a tighter and brighter hotspot. Which has advantages and disadvantages.

Some Fenix lights (such as the PD20) have a rather convoluted twist-plus-click user interface that doesn't thrill me. But the PD10 is just a nice simple 3-mode twisty; medium-->low-->high. It's light, small, and handy, and the pocket clip works well. I probably EDC the PD10 more than any other light. Grab one.

[fjfjrfjfjr]

@classof77 Thank you for your reply!

Do me a favour Marshall, never alter the format of your reviews. They are quick, to the point and tell us just what we need to know. I was on another review site yesterday, where the guy spent two minutes talking about the knurling pattern on a flashlight, I almost lost the will to live! Thanks to your reviews I now have a Fenix TK35, a PD20r5 and they're perfect for what I need. Thanks mate.

I just ordered one 5 minutes ago. I had a p1d q5 but somebody walked of with it 2 nights ago. I guess i better watch who i have in my home. the p1d q5 was a great light so i'm expecting good things out of this light. Definitely the brightest smallest pocket light in the world.

[MrQuackism]

are u the same guy that reviewed Surefire g2x tactical and pro?

[goingprepared]

@MrQuackism The same guy (me) does all of our reviews.

[dodgekicksass505]

[Asovo]

thanks!! that's really help me a lot!

[Asovo]

hi~ how much the weight total with battery too? thanks~

[goingprepared]

@Asovo That would depend on the battery. WIthout one, it is 24 grams. A battery probably adds about 8 grams.
