How Will You Carry It? - Fenix MC11 Angle Flashlight - Review

[@danykao4134]

Hi Luke , thanks for always be thorough with your reviews. Just wondering if there's any upcoming camping trip?

[@norwoodzomboy]

I have a cheap plastic angle light which I mount on my vest's upper pocket - in that configuration it is superb for finding things in the dark! Having a durable Aluminum Fenix would be worth the price.

[@mh1124800]

Love your camera,,, and the light!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

All right, good intro on the angle-head market, Luke. Wonder if you'll like the Thrunite TN20, which is in 18650 and has the magnetic tail you talked about, plus being able to go from angle-head to traditional since the head can be rotated. Have you tried this on a front chestpiece pocket? And as for the horizontal swivel, can't you just rotate the pocket clip?

[@jeffdoes5826]

Use this light every day and love it. Rotating top is not needed just turn the thing. Not kidding when I say I use it every day.

[@305ssmonte5]

I had one it did break when I tried to adjust the head,

[@ChrisJohnson-ht3gx]

I agree but I don’t think they listened to ya. The made a totally different one with a magnet so we can stick it to tent pole. Nice review on the light.

[@magicshon]

Cant you just turn the whole flashlight? would the turning feature be good for anything?

[@lloydh65]

Ha! Exactly...

[@dextercharles4269]

this light has its drawbacks but it still really is the only option for adjustable head angle flashlight. great camp/travel/work light.

[@v10moped]

it would have been even sweeter if it was also compatible with the identically sized 14500 battery for for higher lumens and and longer battery life.

[@yogililly1]

Been using one for three plus years, worn on my work safety vest about 50+ hours a week. Keeping hoping for an upgrade, if Fenix would take the setting from RC05 of 5, 50, 150 and 300 lumens as AA battery with charging port would buy at least 2. As a bonus, paint the bottom blue, top yellow with silver around lens have a minion light.....

You darn kids an' your fancy pants transformer flashlights! Heck in my day we had two kinda flashlights straight and angled. If the angled flashlight was good enough for rootin' out Charlie from his hidey hole and the Boy Scouts got along just fine with the other, we were perfectly happy. We thought we was dang lucky to have two battery choices by crackin'! The choice of a five pound 6 volt lantern battery or the D cell. We were high on the hog by Sally! My Gran Pappy would raise us a fuss o'er our new fangled electric torches though. "Why you dang kids needin one them fancy 'lectric lanterns? Heck in my day we had a kerosene lantern and was dang proud of em........"

[@ArcticGator]

Any updates on this?

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

It's still going strong. Great little light. - Luke

[@Paul-eb3pg]

You can see where you are taking a whizz at night, there is a lot of snakes where you and I live.:) I like it

[@bigben7739]

For a few extra bucks might as well get the Nitecore HC30 , much brighter (1000) lumens plus it can also be use as a headlamp.

[@johnjames218]

that would be great on a ruck shoulder strap adding a magnet, now that genius

[@engineeredlifeform]

+John James My thoughts exactly! I have an Ultrafire holster I use on my rucksack strap, it rotates 360 degrees, so usually it's worn with the torch facing upwards on my chest, but I can rotate it 180, and push the holster onto my shoulder so it illuminates forward in the holster (and looks a little bit like the Predator shoulder gun :-) ) . I would definitely have one of these right angle torches on my small rucksack for hands free work. Headlamps are OK, but being so close to your eyes don't always work so well if it's misty or foggy, so there's definitely a place for this torch.

[@engineeredlifeform]

[@40belowful]

iam like gunner..check out thrunite tn20 :) also the archer 1a v2 is more lumens on a single AA battery which you reviewed already:) also you can epoxy a magnet onto base if you wanted to but the tn20 already has a magnetic base:)

[@jasonpetty3786]

Good review... Thanks..

[@junito1957]

[@AnnoyingPanMann]

[@4StonesHandcraft]

[@SportsTinywind]

Thank you.

[@WOLFMAN2975]

Night Wolf! : )

[@NoTrail]

+Tyler Murphy Scary

[@WOLFMAN2975]

+Patrick Caple (No Trail Required) What's that?

[@NoTrail]

+Tyler Murphy Night Wolf...and that photo of you...scary man...I'd better pull out my Fenix MC11 Angle to ward you off

[@WOLFMAN2975]

+Patrick Caple (No Trail Required) Ya That's Right. : ) That wouldn't be effective I BEEPING love flashlights Playboy! ; ) It could potentially work on some of my brothers, if it had StRoBe and an extra 500LM, SOS would be good also.

[@BoilerRoomRadio]

Too expensive for the product

[@NoTrail]

Interesting but pretty weak luminosity by today's standards

[@DinnerForkTongue]

+Patrick Caple (No Trail Required) You can't expect more than that out of a single AA, not currently.

[@NoTrail]

+Gunner193 I mean for any flashlight...in general

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Patrick Caple That's the same thing as saying an obsidian scalpel is weak because it can't cut trees well. You can't just ignore usage tiers like that.

[@NoTrail]

+Gunner193 Whatever....some of of you guys make to big a deal out of little things

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Patrick Caple Apples and oranges, buddy. You gotta set up standards to have a valid comparison for anything in the multiverse.

[@xenoptryx]

40 bucks is too much for that thing. Just sayin'.
