Spy 007 Pics

[Hodsta]

Before we continue any further discussion about clips and inserts can I remind you that some of us would be happy with just a light!

........anything you sell will likely be snapped up faster than a one-legged man at an ass-kickin'.

Kansas sure does have the market covered on interesting passtimes Dad, it's a wonder you find time to visit this place!

[MSaxatilus]

OK I know this is long overdue. But the first two photo shoots didn't come out to good. So I decided to go back to my roots. Enjoy......








































......whew!!! Words don't describe this light.

I spy with my little eyes, some spys I would like to buy.


Great pictures guys.

MSax

If the saying is true... your post was worth 17,000+ words! Great pictures, thanks!!

[ArsMachina]

I wouldn't think of taking this light apart or doing any irreversible modifications to it but I think that knob pocket is just asking for some personalization! Perhaps a small disk of exotic leather or hyde.

Perhaps like that ???

Jochen,



Dave,

Yes, a belt clip would be very useful!
Thanks,
Willem.

Don, unlike the 005, the knob does come off the 007. It is held on with a locknut but a nut driver needs to be turned pretty thin to fit. Though taking the 007 apart voids the warranty, it will not stop some. I wanted something easier to assemble and the lock nut makes adjusting the knob a snap.

I know many of you like using a belt clip on a light. Already in my list of rail attachments is a clip. Anybody else interested?

Thanks for the fun pictures Don. You sure waisted no time decorating the knob!


Cheers
Dave

Belt clip, maybe a quick release lanyard attachment so one can use paracord.

[dizzy]

..... cause I know you guys know how to polish your knobs!

So THAT'S why Dave is always over in the corner by his robot !!!!!






PS: Sorry Dave, MSax made me say that.

Don, is the 007 emitter on in this pic? Just turned down really low?


Wow, great pictures everybody!


chipwillis, what exactly are you looking for? I have some of the QR fittings fitted with micro cord to fit the SPY lanyard attachment hole.

[Edwood]

I was wondering what possibilities there are for different lanyards. That hole is so tiny.

Can you elaborate on the micro cord you're using? Something stronger than the standard cell phone strap type lanyard is what I'm looking for.

Dave,

Is this spy in space? I thought you were in Maui!!!

Ed, look on the net under cell phone straps, wrist straps, lanyards, etc. It is overwhelming and so takes time. There are SS cables available that will fit through the hole. Also many of the straps available have fishing line inside the cloth sleeve. Or if you are so inclined you can make your own adapter out of fishing line and fittings. I bet Msax knows lots about this stuff.

I myself feel that the best way to carry the 007 on a daily bases is to put it into a holster but with a lanyard attached to your belt. It is not possible to loose it that way. Even a simple cloth cell phone strap will work if you keep an eye on it so it is always intact.

OK, I see Saturn but where's Uranus? Over by the knob polishing machine?


Wait serious for a nano second. The phosphor was excited by your polishing machine. No that wasn't it. It was excited by a UV source which also caused the red and hint of blue in the blue H3 vials. I also bumped up the saturation in PhotoShop to get that off worldly look.

OK, back to the knobs.....

Dave,
Maybe you should run for president......

I can tie any knot from your shoe laces to a Monkey's fist.

Well...if he hadn't donated all his Spy 007 revenue to Hillary's campaign.....

Not this guy! I have to save my money for my own campaign! I already have one superdelegate (see above).

Perhaps like that ???

Holy cr@p! Is that a huge meteorite your Spy is sitting on? That's awesome!
That gives me an idea..... a Spy machined from a solid hunk of nickel iron meteorite packaged in an art of the hide holster. Now that would be an exotic combo package.

[ShortArc]

I had some GridWire by Bird Barrier left over. It is essentially .77mm coated SS wire. A couple of crimps and voila a new lanyard. Would work great with the McGizmo Titanium Clip.

Hi Scottiver,

You are right the pictures are taken with the SPY sitting on a 3.5 Kilo Sikhote Alin.
This light is such spacey I found this is the only right background for it
Here a picture of the complete meteorite with the SPY:



And here you can see the light on a 7.5 Kilo Campo Del Cielo:



When I was taking these pictures I also thought about machining a flashlight completely out of a meteorite

Very nice pictures...Jochen!

[Rudi]

Has anyone compared the 007 beam with the upgraded 005 beam? Are they identical?

[PoliceScannerMan]

I thought the 005 were upgraded with Cree's..... If they were than I supposed they are very different beams...

[Rudi]

We need beamshots!

[Edwood]

Posted an underexposed before one comparing to two other flashlights.

[toby_pra]

That looks good Edwood!

I am soooo jealous...

[Dog Chaser]

After reading Don's post about the SPY007 knob pocket it made me want to try something. I split a glass bead and sanded the back flat and dropped it in the pocket with a bit of rubber cement. I'm not really happy with the color, but you get the idea. Maybe a dark blue or black would work better. Please excuse my poor photo skills.
