Long range beamshots: MA6, DBS, FM85

I got a chance to snap some long distance shots between these flashlights. Sorry for the poor image quality - these are my first long-distance beamshots, and I am by no means a pro with cameras.

Pictures are in order: control, Tiablo MA6, Dereelight DBS v2 1S R2 WC, and FM85 ( = Mag85 in brightness). None of them had perfectly charged batteries, but that shouldn't matter much for these flashlights. Distance to the trees is about 500 feet, measured using Google earth. These pictures are pretty close to what I was seeing.

It's pictures like this that make me want to get back into hotwires....but i just can't find a real use for them other than saying

lol, that's pretty much true for me too. However, in most situations that you'd be willing to bring a 4D or larger maglite for, I find that this isn't (too much) overkill.
