4 Sevens SHOT show interview with David Chow

[photonstorm]

Have you checked out the new Nutnfancy vid featuring 4Sevens at the SHOT show?

While Nutn interviews David he pulls out a Ti MiNi model made for CR2. Its slightly shorter than the MiNI 123. Great stuff.

David goes over how he develops a reflector for a flashlight and overviews the 4Sevens lineup.

They briefly discuss the new flashlight coming out.

Way to keep it real Nutn!

You can catch the video here.

Really tiny that light!

[tucolino]

I posted this over in the SHOT thread but then saw that photonstorm posted it here. Nice to see other Nutnfancy fans here. Great video and some really nice "props" to CPF from David!

 

[pseudoblue]

Very awesome video indeed! :thumbsup: lovecpf

 

[vizlor]

Great video, thanks!

 

[Beamhead]

Appeared thinner to me as well :thumbsup:

I know David monitors these threads so I'll say here and now, I WANT 2 ASAP. :naughty:

Loved the S1200!

SST-90 driven at (???) 3.5 amps with a LiFePO4 with a ton of finned copper to cool the puppy down. The "fist size" is nice, might as well use that considerable mass to assist getting you out of a jam. I just must remember that my wife would use it on me when she finds out the cost of the beast.

I know a LEO that would steal that light from me if given the chance... good stuff!

Then there is the G500, a XP-G driven at 1.5 amps and with the size, it should throw very well. Maybe a G500 on the left side and S1200 on the right? I'm sure there are some LEOs out there that ponder the indoor S1200 and the outdoor G500 for their next lights.

I think I'm going to buy the cheap to save up for an S1200, time to pull the Ramen noodle recipe book out.

+1

A very interesting looking light with some great materials! This will be something I pre-order. Too bad it's a "3rd quarter" release date though.

:nana:

We're preparing a surprise "bundle" to go with the Qmini CR2 Ti to keep it shining for 10 years

Yeah Nutn ambushed us - there wasn't much warning. Everything was pretty much improv and not rehearsed - part of his characteristic "freestyle" coverage.

 

[paintballdad]

David, will the Quark MiNi CR2 also be available in aluminum?

 

[jtrucktools34]

This is either a really GOOD or really BAD time to be a Flashaholic!

:bow: to 47's

You are the master :rock:

Overall good video for being ambushed. Good lineup, David. LOL! You have to get that mini-123 @ 11:20 special functions twist down better though! LOL!

Did you find your G500? (@ 11:55)

The discussion at 15:00 about throw, IMHO, you should really consider an effective aspheric model. Proof of concept has already been demonstrated:

Nice job David, makes me miss the good old days when I was there in the booth, that nutnfancy guy is a little annoying, but I was just looking at the new lights.

I was so nervous my hands were shaking. I didn't twist fast enough

Yes the G500 turned up. It was in one of my staff's luggage
I don't like aspherics because 1) the project the shape of the die 2) almost no flood at all - tunnel vision 3) it's pretty much for bragging rights - a niche product at best. Sure, we've got some stuff we've been playing with but we're looking to make tools first over toys, not the other way around. It doesn't hurt to have a fun toy, but it needs to be functional as well as practical.

Nice job David, makes me miss the good old days when I was there in the booth, that nutnfancy guy is a little annoying, but I was just looking at the new lights.

Yeah we missed you this year. You should have flown out
