Cloud Defensive Rein Micro 3.0 unboxing - Nice Compact Light

[@jnananinja7436]

I actually watched this to make sure my Rein 3.0 wasn’t a clone because the packaging was so.. unimpressive 😅

[@itsmillartime6916]

Yeah Cloud doesn’t do up their packaging. Likely saves us a bunch vs throwing it in a hard case like Eotech does with their optics 🤣

[@betlogenako7193]

I thought 3.0 comes with the new switch?

[@itsmillartime6916]

I’m unclear what switch your referencing. They debuted four new switches at Shotshow but those were not released until early March. I purchased my micro prior. The head on my unit is actually programmable which is not correct so I’ve been working with Cloud on getting a replacement which I hope to have this week.

@@itsmillartime6916 you are right,the one they selling right now is with the new switch..nice light tho..i have the same one.

I just installed this exact light last night and i absolutely hate it, i have never been this disapointed in any product in my entire life, it is absolute trash in every way. Im talking it off after work and putting a stream light or even a olight on it, honestly if i cant some how get my money back for it im going to throw it away. I am in no way joking, maybe even make a video of me taking a sledge hammer to it first

[@itsmillartime6916]

Wish the battery life was a little longer but is perfect on my AR9. Bright and compact. However yes you should do a durability test with a sledgehammer and video it.

[@Bmxr1991]

I'm going to if they don't take it back, the switch feels like it came from temu

[@itsmillartime6916]

Is it one of the new single button units? I really like the old style.

[@Bmxr1991]

The light doesn't turn on every time, the switch is not momentary, the head gets very hot, the threads inside the mount are crap, it was a nightmare to mount on my rail due to the placement of the locktite on the threads, I hate the cable design, the charger uses the outdated and very unreliable micro USB charger, I have not fired my rifle since mounting it but I am certain it will not be reliable. What a absolute joke for 350 dollars. I have a theory: they claim it's made in USA, I would not be surprised if they have the Haitian people that came here illegally making them, think about it, made in USA doesn't mean the same thing that it once did.

@@itsmillartime6916 Yes, unfortunately it is the single button, the whole piece looks like 25 cents worth of cheap plastic, i could probably snap the whole switch in half without even really trying.
