I decided to pick the Baton 3 Pro, way cheaper to be almost the same at lumens, throw and battery (my most valued specs). But I have to be honest, I didn't buy it at the end cause the discount sales vanished too early for me! hahaha For the next sales, I will decide between the Baton 3 Pro and that new Olight Warrior Mini 3. I own the I3T, the Warrior 3S and the I5T plus from Olight. I can tell you, the king of the mix beams from Olight is the Warrior 3S for now. So take it if you want the best mix beam. In my case, I want a secondary mix beam from Olight, so the battle is Warrior Mini 3 VS Baton 3 Pro, as I've told you before. So, making it easy: Warrior Mini 2 VS Baton 3 Pro -> Baton WINS Warrior Mini 3 VS Baton 3 Pro -> We'll see...
Lol that’s how I found this video, lookin for baton pro max vs warrior mini 2, the warrior 2 having that carabiner clip is a big plus for me, can use it like a switch back holder
I'm pretty sure the spring in the bottom is for charging only on the baton and might have something to do with wm2 tail switch, but these torches work without the body, try taking the batteries out again then just push the battery into the head and hold it in place and both the wm2 and baton will still power up
5:53 the tint on the WM2 is so terrible. You forgott to mention that your Baton Pro is in neutral white which is nicer for edc. Also its able to run regular 18650 you just cant charge them inside the flashlight. The WM2 cant be run by regular 18650ies.
@@godforever27 Actually I have tested it on a s2r baton 2 and it worked. Therefor I assumed it will also on a Baton 3 (which I dont have) but in another comment section someone wrote that it didnt worked on his Baton 3. Strange.
Good review. Ive found the Warrior mini 2 is not a good EDC light, first day it went in my pocket the tail switch filled up with metal filings, engineers curse i guess. would be good if Olight supplied it with a silicone boot to go over the tail switch so it could be used but protect it from the metal issue, as well as make it a full ring not 3 peaks so it will hold its self horizontal. plus better define the tail switch on its half press, other than that its ok
For sure, for throw then the Mini 2 but for flood, the B3 Pro. Olight has its place and its niche. Some have worked great for me over the years and some have their issues. Still, their warranty will take care of them.
@@flashlightcrazy I agree and Olight has been good at resolving issues, but that being said, having have had them and seeing what others have written up about them, they seem to be on the higher side with issues. Even with my Mini 2, the original could be on a charger a long time and never turn green and as soon as I disconnected it and then connected it again, it would turn green. Then the light in the center of the side button would be green and after being on for several minutes it would go amber even though it was just fully charged. Then being off for a few minutes and turned on again it would go green. So I returned it, got a new replacement....and got the same exact issues again. No, it's not a showstopper and I kept it but for crying out loud Olight, get your act together.
On the baton 3 pro, the pocket clip forces the body of the light crooked when installing the battery, then rubs the whole time its being threaded on or off. Bad design.
T wrap the pocket clip with a cloth whenever i need to twist that lower body of the light. Bad design but atleast give it a solution. Sorry for my bad English.
I think the worrior mini 2 looks like less lumen than the Batton. And also the light is greenish. If I compare it with my Baton S2R II, the Baton is even than brighter.
That's what I'm doing. Got the Baton3Pro and looking at the Warrior Mini 2 on ebay, The base stats are very similar, but I don't been to splash out for some 10K lumen thing (even thougth I want to) to cover an imaginary base, I just want another useful light in this category.
@@flashlightcrazy no not on the mini warrior 2 hold the button as your screwing the battery back on once a light comes on tap fast until the light turns off than screw it on snd nosensor until you take out the battery again
I have to slightly disagree with you there. I am a regular person and I have found great use in a tactical light on several occasions. I agree that tactical lights are most utilised for people who serve as law enforcement or military, search and rescue or S.E.S. But for those of us who have ever used a tactical light in a sticky situation, we would all agree that there is definitely a place for tactical lights for the "regular" person
In alot of cases "tactical" is just a marketing term to attract certain demographics, especially when it comes to flashlights... For most people a tactical light is just as useful as any other light.
@@awesomeaxel1 Absolutely agree. It is a very clever marketing tool, however, I have used a light on several occasions as a self-defence tool. But for me, the word 'tactical' only applies to non-civilian emergency service workers, military, etc.
@@awesomeaxel1 I agree, I have a warrior 3s and it is really useful while walking my dog early in the morning when we come across coyotes (There are many), they hate turbo or strobe mode!
