I was so excited for this light, but the heads up only carry is a huge step backward and will make it an automatic pass. It’s an extra step to rotate the light in hand to turn it on and more importantly it’s no longer deep carry which is important in certain environments. The WM2 is as close to a perfect light for me in terms of size and functionality and has been the only light I’ve carried since it was released. I guess I need to buy a few more for the future just in case.
@@josepheng3754 Thanks for commenting! I did see that, I still personally prefer the WM2. We will see what happens in a few years when they come out with a WM4.
For a "tactical" light turbo/strobe would make more sense instead of medium /strobe. Olight had the turbo /strobe setting all the years I dont know why they changed this. Also I dont understand why they go back to a none reversible clip.
I just got my warrior mini 3 yesterday and i love it. It feels like a quality well made flashlight and the throw is excellent for the size of the light. Its in the forrest gradient as well so i really dig the color. My only ding for it is that its pretty heavy for EDC. Its still a great EDC light but its got a little more heft than i would prefer for an EDC light.
I own the same and mine has a broken sensor and always shout down in limited mode. I did send back and the service says all ok and sensed back. Now I have a expensive flash light which is worse as a cheap china copy. Hands of this flash light!
Hi There, thanx for the review. Is the strobe exactly the same as the gen 2? I've saw on anther promo video the frequencies looks more random but not sure?
Personally, while I can appreciate the work that’s gone into the WM3 It’s not what I thought it would be. Im sure it’s still great, Im just underwhelmed by it. Nice video though, good info👍
i think you messed up with absoutely everything you did on this compared to the warrior mini 2, except for the buttons and sharper striking bezel. When i have flashlights in the pocket, they turn on for some strange reason, the warrior mini 2 shuts off the light when that happens and its very important to have electricity on the battery when you need it, size is better for a tactical light (its marketed: "WARRIOR"), the clip was much better etc, even the sligtly yellow color is better on the eyes for a light for daily use. And the backbutton needs to be halfpress TURBO (for blinding) and full press STROBE (to disorient people that run after you etc) in tactical mode. I hope the mini 2 stays in sale and that you pick up from that if you do a version 4.
Tactical mode does function as you describe it. The new side switch and tail switch both prevent accidental activations. The yellow tint is preferable, for everyday use. But tactical lights should be as bright as possible.
You are correct. The website states its metal. But it doesn't feel like metal. It must be coated aluminum. I recorded this before all the details were published.
I also carried my warrior mini 2 bezel down. But with the new clip, bezel up is very comfortable, and fairly deep carry. What's your biggest reason for preferring bezel down carry? I'm very curious.
Not to butt in, but I like bezel down because my thumb lands on the tail cap naturally when I draw the light. With bezel up, my thumb lands on the side switch, but it's harder to into get to turbo quickly that way. For a tactical light, this is the wrong approach, IMO. But I'm not on a swat team, I'm just some random jackass, haha
I gotta say if you are thinking that we love how the tail cap actuates I think you’re wrong I love the function. I love the UI but that tail cap is nothing like a brisk break of a trigger. It’s mushy like soft potatoes.
Soy fan boy de olight tengo la warrior mini 2 negra y la desert camo esperaba esta mini 3 por mucho tiempo pero me a decepcionado parece mas una baton 3
Thanks Larry! You have great taste! I The Baton 3 Pro Max is a great value. And it's one of the rare lights avaliable in Warm White! Merry Christmas to you!
