Amazing work, presume a pretty good run time on max being 750lm and substantial mass for an 18650 light. This is a Roberto light !!!

It certainly looks that way! Too bad Roberto's funds are in critical condition! More like finances.:mecry:

It is so nice of you VEN and the other members to buy this light for Roberto's B'day on Saturday! Lol!!

I would settle for the SDMiniVN!! I have not had a new light since the SL2cVN last summer!

Hey Vinh-
Are PDT-N &/or Direct Drive possible?
DriverVN would be a waste for me on a dedicated thrower ;)

You're going to be amazed, Wendel!

I'm sure I will! :D The farthest throw I've seen myself are the TN4A & Convoy C8. I have a feeling the M30CvnT might throw a teensy weensy bit farther, lol. :thumbsup:

My husband has a drone and he's going to take some beam shots. I hope the pictures turn out (we've never done a night flight).

I am kind of lazy to watch a video. Is this light take one 18650??

Yes! A single 18650 battery. I'm still too nervous to use unprotected or multi-18650 lights which is why I'm so happy that Vinh is making this flashlight. It can use a protected battery but the throw won't be quite as far but it will still throw MUCH farther than my other lights :grin2:

Drones and lights are always an awesome combo. You should post them if they turn out.

There's a guy on YouTube that built a 50,000 lumen light, and strapped it to his quad copter. Really cool!

It is always good to be cautious. Always.
But to maybe alleviate your worries just a little, Vinh's drivers do have low voltage protection built into them -

Nevertheless, being cautious is always welcomed into the equation ;)

Yes, Vinh's lights are safe.:thumbsup: Believe me, I'm the biggest chicken on CPF and once I ordered an unsafe light (according to experienced CPF members) from a big manufacturer, so now I'm extra cautious and research like crazy before buying anything. I'm 100% confident that the M30CvnT is safe but I will use a protected battery only because unprotected batteries (not the light) still make me nervous. Baby steps. :)

I really thought it would be forever before I was able to buy a real thrower (once used to multi-18650 lights and/or unprotected batteries). I'm so excited about this light (single 18650, protected or unprotected). To be honest, I need a flooder (still looking) more than a thrower at this time, but there's no way I'm missing out on the M30CvnT. The flooder can wait. If Vinh only ends up making a limited number of these and I didn't buy one now and missed out, I'd kick myself (hard). And his first batch is already sold out! Wow, that was so fast! I can't wait until it gets here. :D[

I'll definitely post them & I'll look for that YouTube video. Sounds cool!

For clarification, what I meant was that with the driver's low voltage safety features, it would step down as the unprotected cells voltage drops, so that even though the cells are unprotected, they would be protected by the driver, so to speak. But I fully understand what you say. I've always used protected cells for years. Vihn's lights are actually the first lights where I've used unprotected cells, in addition to multi cells :)
I look forward to your video!
