Anyone took a pic of the Twisty at SHOT ?

[FredericoFreire]

I want to ask you guys for a picture of the new Ra Lights Twisty, other than the one at the website. I heard (readed) that they presented at Shot Show 2008.

Thanks in advance! :twothumbs

I guess that is a resounding "no." :thinking:

Didn't go to SHOT but I did see a twisty at CES. I think it was called "Ra" or something like that. Fairly impressive since it could focus the cree pretty well...so well that you can see the parallel lines inside the square shape (when shining on a wall). Sorry...still no pics.

Their website has a photo: http://ralights.com/Twisty.html

Is it possible that you maybe are remembering two different lights here? The Twisty uses a reflector, and the behavior you mention about focusing is inherent to very tight optics (to the best of my knowledge). Do you have any more info?

PS - I could be wrong, my wife can vouch that it's happened before...

I took what he said to mean that the reflector does a good job of focusing the light. Not that you have any control over said focusing... Just my take.

That's the HDS light that some of us are anxiously awaiting, isn't it?

 

[Valpo Hawkeye]

I'm sure that the reflector does a good job, however, the characteristic of the parallel lines showing in the hotspot is, to the best of my knowledge, only associated with optic-focussed lights.

Yes, it is!

Here's the pic from their website:

As happend to one HDS U60 long time ago, Henry pummeled one new Twisty.

Just fund a pic over the net :shakehead

What is the difference between the HDS and Ra Twisty lights?

 

[ouchmyfinger]

HDS is no more. It is now called Ra. Ra will be the company that (eventually?) ships the Twisty.

It seems to be an interesting and very rugged light and a decent price point.

I just wish they could make it a little less fugly.

Maybe polishing that bezel, or something?
