Wow, this is quite a surprise. It looks kinda awkward in its lantern mode, but it seems like a great headlamp and most surprisingly, it features a Cree XP-G. I'm not sure if I've seen that yet from such a main stream company yet. I'm kind used to the offerings of coleman or princeton or something similar that usually use outdated tech.

These Joby guys seem to be getting their act together. I'm keen to see what else they come up with :)

I love how the commenters on Engadget have the impression that this thing is priced out of its market. It's barely more expensive than a Zebralight yet it comes with two secondary flood LEDs and the lantern option! A screaming deal if you ask me - that is if it performs to expectations. Will we see a CPF review?

I work for Joby and would have no problem sending a set of samples of our Gorillatorch products to CPF for review. Whoever feels they are the best to do the review send me a PM with your contact details and I will set you up.
