Still rocking my Mini Baton Ti with the neutral light, they offered better light temp options back in 2016!? Why Olight?? Most light fanatics do not want a cool white for EDC & would gladly sacrifice a few lumens for a high CRI color temp😒
Not buying it. The case seems cool but is pointless when you could just carry a 21700 light instead of that whole box and get better ergonomics and performance from it and it still be more pocketable. Also, I'm actually disgusted at this point that Olight keep using the same cold, harsh, low CRI emitters without giving us any option. It would cost them nothing to have a neutral option or to switch to 519a and they know that everyone would prefer it and has been asking them for years.
Does it get ridiculously HOT like the Odin mini? Mine burnt a hole in my coat pocket after accidentally bumping it on. I smelled something burning and it was me! I recon it would've eventually caught fire.
Seems kind of useless. Yeh it’s bright. But it lasts 1minute? Then it ramps down to nothing and you only get a hour. The i5 rechargeable doesn’t have the super bright mode. But will outlast the baton at a brighter setting. For 3 hrs
The Baton 4 is too small for my liking (and no I don't wear hats). But I'm eager to see a 4 inch Baton 4 Pro in neutral white! 😁 (Or perhaps an even warmer option? 🙏)
They aren't going to give us better tints or CRI. They absolutely know we have been asking for it for years but it seems that they are very stuck to their ways of only allowing us to have the worst light quality possible. It would cost them nothing to give us the option too. I've heard some say that it's about them being able to over-hype it when they finally do use nicer emitters and make it sound like something unique or special to their fans and non-fans will jump to it too. Personally, I won't be buying any Olights for a while.
Great video. The Baton 4 "Nano" vs Warrior Nano. Which one do you prefer? I love the new tail switch on the Warrior Nano and i love my baton 3 pro. Im not sure if ill find a place for this in my collection or not. Of course I'd love to have one of each in every color but my wife is the one who needs the sales pitch haha
I prefer the tail switch on the warrior nano. I just feel like the light is too small to really have a tail switch on it but I still like the tail switch on it 🤣👍
@@PreparedGuyIf the future Baton 4 Pro version has a tailswitch, then I shall personally kiss Sean on the lips and and smack my bank card stuck onto his forehead.
I cued my review on a scheduled premier to be released at the exact time of the approved review release time. It's the best way to do it. That way there is no hold up and folks can see exactly what they're buying. I've always disliked having Early access but then have to buy a flashlight before I know anything about it. Hence my releasing on time for the sale launch. Not all heros wear capes 🤣👍
I like watching your reviews on olight flashlights as they are honest reviews! Olight does make some top notch flashlights as I own few and only had 1 that failed i3t. This baton 4 looks stylish and I know it's a great camping light as I've used S1r baton 2 and never failed me. Looking forward to getting this and case looks very nice as power bank. I don't do turbo on these small lights because it'll drain those little batteries quicker. Thanks for review!
The baton 4 was a bit of a let down. The flat button makes it hard to quickly find the button, and the memory does not save bright mode longer than 1 minute. I don't like it when a company doesn't allow me to choose how I use their product. Bright mode is the one I'll use the most which means I always need to click twice to get the brightness where I want. Overall a good flashlight but those points are a deal breaker for me.
I ordered one, i own the Baton 3 too. 1 thing i dont get its the wireless charging. The case is a wires charger. One pole its a circular wire, one is a big point wire. Wireless means induction, a coil being involved. These are wire to wire connections. 1 question, please: can you put in in the case, ramp it to the desired luminosity then remove it from the case and use it at that desired level? If yes, will it memorize that lvl?
What is the use case of a small light in a case, when you could just carry a bigger light with more lumens and candela? The Baton 3 pro max has the same 21700 battery that is in the case, but is smaller and lighter.
I'm impressed, but agree that a neutral white would be even better. I suspect that extended runtimes and extreme brightness for the size are inhibiting Olight, but they should still offer a choice. I really like the feel of the Baton 4. Unfortunately I did not have the case to play around with. I think they have good package and I can use it with my Neutral White Perun 2 Mini.
Ok, I was writing a reply, then ironically Olight's own ad came down and over it and deleted what I'd written! What I was saying was that Olight almost certainly arn't going to offer us better light quality any time soon. They know we have been asking for better tint and CRI for many years but ignore it every time. It seems that they are quite toxically stuck to their ways on this one and only want to allow customers to have the worst light quality they can get away with.
I recieved mine yesterday and I gotta say I'm pretty dissapointed by the moonlight....my old S1R Baton II has much better and functional output with the same declared lumens on moonlight mode. Otherwise it's an excelent package!
