Disclaimer. I got this flashlight from Gearbest for review. Here is product page.
----------------------
I asked Maxtoch manager to tell about company, and below is what she wrote me:
''We are the nominated supplier of enforcement deparment, border troop, marine, fire station, sport chain stores, etc… Our products are with military standard performance and quality. We are on service of Chinese troop.
We are always pushing the boundary of flashlight's performance. Just as 2X, it reaches a maximum beam distance of 1200 meters, while its weight is almost deducted to the minimum limitation 315g. It meets the demands of hunters and most gun users.
Our flashlights are made from solid aluminum stick as attached photo, instead of hollow aluminum tube. The MCPCB with direct thermal dissipation is with red copper base, which has the best heat dissipation performance. AR lens with blue coating at both sides ensures the highest light transmitance rate and it is manufactured by Canon camera lens supplier. What's more, all key parts in MAXTOCH flashlights are with 24K gold plating to ensure the best conductivity. So when you don't need the flashlight any more, remember to keep these golden parts… lol ''
She also asked to post a couple of photos as a proof that their lenses are AR and blue coated and flashlights are made of aluminium.
MAXTOCH Shooter 2x dedomed
Package is made of thick cardboard. Just cardboard with logo, that`s it.
There is a bag with flashlight and other stuff, which are:
Spare tail button with spring
Manual
holster
lanyard
o-rings
Maxtoch Shooter is a long thing, the size of Convoy L6.
And yet at the same time it is slimmer as it`s diets consist of pair of 18650, not 26650. So weight is only 315g.
Bezel is deep and can be easily unscrewed.
Reflector is SMO, deep, with dedomed XM-L2 U4 on the bottom.
As manufacturer promised, lense is blue coated.
Cooling ribs are deep
Head and tail are bolted together.
There is no knurling in it`s usual way. There are some grooves instead. Anyway, grip is solid because one end of palm rests again the tactical ring and other to Maxtoch Shooter`s head.Machinery and lubrication are both ok .
Unscrewed tail we see this
UI
Simplest – full click turns the light on (there is modes memory) and then user can choose brightness with half-clicks.
There is no Strobe\SOS. I like it, though admit that they could be moved into separate hidden mode with moonlight as addition.
There is no turbo. Stabilization is excellent. Powered with a pair of LG He4, light worked about 55mins on constant brightness and the just turned off. But, if next revision manufacturer add discharge indication, that be cool. No there is no way to figure out how long will it take for flashlight to turn off.
No camera, neither pencil test revieled PWM shimmering in any mode. Congrats, Maxtoch, I expected worse, to be frank.
Thermal dissipation is ok, I could easily hold light in high mode barehand.
What about beam distance – WOW! I`ve never used such a longthrower. For 85$ that is a seriously interesting deal.
I decided that flashlight like this deserves a lot of photos\video and did maximum I could.
At the end of video I compare Shooter with Convoy L6. Of course they are different lights, but I suppose it can give some idea of how this Maxtoch works in high mode.
OVERALL
Sometimes I get flashlights which i have no complaints about. And here is this one seldom occasion. I cannot see any similar products in price range of under 100$.
+ REALLY long beam
+ stabilization
+no PWM shimmering in any mode.
+useful mode
+unbeatable price among rivals.
- No discharge indications
