NEW FENIX MC10

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

I know the MC10 and ZL are different beasts and suspect they will not be direct competitors but, going only on the advertising of the MC10, they do both cover a lot of the same uses with the slight size disadvantage of the MC10 negated by the, perhaps, more flexible jobs it can do. BUT we really have to wait till the first few ship and the user reports say for sure if its a hit or a miss.

:thumbsup: Entry posted in the name compo, I'll take any prize with joy.

Heh. Fenix is going retro on us. It looks like something that Captain Kirk would give to Uhura (with diffuser of course) for a Star Trek Christmas Special 😀

I'm seeing future improvements... maybe a remote control, digital altimeter/barometer/compass/gps, stun gun, and FRS radio 😀

Oh yeah, and some Velcro.
 
The first thing I thought about was that little bird that keeps dipping it's beak into a water glass.

FWIW I think the black one is cool and if the price is right, Ima gonna get one of those bad boys.
 
So close. I like it but I wouldn't mind a 2AA version if some industrial designers at Fenix wants a challenge.

For example, heres a duracell torch of mine from almost 20 years ago. 2AA, nice and compact. Just not very bright and it was an incandescent.

THe head only moves on one axis and its missing a switch. I've been looking for something close to it and this MC10 is about the closest I've seen.
 
I like to do a bit of long exposure cave photography. This looks like it could be a perfect cheap lighting solution for that application.
 
I used it in a layout this week and then took it around the hood for a trial run that night. Nice, Nice light! my only complaint is that acquisition of the control buttons is a pain. There are precious few haptic clues that your finger has found the buttons if you feel around to turn it on/off or change mode or settings. In a hurry? forget it. Wearing gloves? Really forget it.
But everything else about it wonderful. It even blasts past my Mac MOD'd P7 Mag.
Now to find a buyer for it.lovecpf

Ugly but if you're thinking of doing photography or even video with a flashlight I think you're better served with a DX product #26993, an 18650 tripod mountable light, you can even get a mount for your camcorder to use this as a videolight, just get a diffuser or do what I do and tape a translucent bottlecap on the front of the light. A 230 lumen video light is pretty darn bright if I do say so myself.

Worst Fenix MC10 review ever.

Especially since it's for the HP10, not the MC10.

Fantastic! I had one of those too, thanks for the bit of nostalgia 🙂
 
The first thing I have to say is DOH!!! I just bought a L1T v2 this week to keep in my cycling bag. This would definitely be more useful for roadside repairs like fixing flats, etc. The clip does look rotatable and it also looks like it would be a great headlamp on the bill of a baseball cap or on the strap of my bicycle helmet. Looks like it has a loop for a lanyard so you can hang it in a tent too (and I do a lot of camping with my kids).

And I don't think it's ugly at all... it's a flashlight people... not like I'm gonna be wearing it around my neck for bling when I'm busting raps on the corner with my posse downing 40's... :crackup:

I'm definitely going to look into getting a yellow one.
