Odin Mini Unboxing & Review

This is an unboxing and review of the new Odin Mini by Olight. Here I test it out on my Daniel Defense MK18 and demonstrate the amount of flood / throw this light is capable of. I also discuss the what the light comes with including the pressure pad and MLOK mounting system (although I personally use the picatinny mount). This light was sent to me by Olight in exchange for an honest review.

Not gonna lie I laughed pretty hard when the optic fell off!!🤣😂

[@werunguns]

That was horrible lol. I need to mess with it more to see what I can do to secure it. Maybe a different mount.

[@justinstemen7058]

@@werunguns looks like you have the part that grips the rail on backwards

i know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

@Alec Gerardo thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!

[@brianmanning9271]

Yeah I would have just edited out the optic falling off. 😂

[@Sn-tk8rq]

The park scene and path really showed the throw well. It was useful and helped me decide on the purchase compared to the dozens of other videos I viewed. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@werunguns]

Glad you found it informative, thanks for watching

[@spoderpan9303]

The little piece that the Romeo 5 bolt screws into is backwards. It needs to be facing in and should look/fit flush on the inside and outside

[@tonyd9799]

The piece on the Romeo mount that holds the rail is on backwards (you also need to use blue locktite on the threads). If you are cross eye dominant and sometimes need to close your strong eye to get your weak eye to focus on the red dot then run the red dot all the way back possibly even behind the rear BUIS you’ll have a wider feild of view and it will be easier to force your weak eye to stay in charge. If you aren’t cross eye dominate and you feel its easy to shoot both eyes open then you might want to run the red dot at the front of the upper. In terms of how you have the light mounted you should either use the vertical slot on the mount to get the light closer to rail or put the mount on the top rail just behind the front sight to get it closer to the rail. Depending on the diameter of your hand guard you might need to experiment with spinning the mount 180 degrees so the light can slide in and out without being obstructed by the front sight. If you run the light on your support hand side you have a backup if the pressure pad ever fails in that you can pop it off and use your thumb to activate it. The front of the light should be even with or just behind your flash hider. When you have a long hand guard with just a bit of barrel sticking out I like to keep it even with the end of the hand guard to minimize the potential for things getting snagged. If you run a weapon light on a rifle where it isn’t possible to get it out near the end of the gun then barrel shadow becomes a small issue and then its better to run the light on the strong hand side because with the rifle at a low ready the shadow is cast down below your feild of view as opposed to being cast up into it. If you like your fingers you need a finger stop. I’d suggest the IWC Reversible Weapon Control Hand Stop - 1913 Picatinny or the Magpul XTM Hand Stop Kit. Also those rail covers are really nice. Once you have everything sorted get a couple more of then and chop them up and cover all the bits and pieces of exposed rail. And either zip tie the pressure pad cable down so or preferably use ranger bands (cut up bicycle inner tubes) to keep it in place. BTW I appreciate you leaving in you red dot falling off. Getting things sorted out is a process and you showing that is more useful than all the slickly edited videos that people make to make themselves look cool.

[@gunnwild1]

All of the mounting options is a nice added bonus

[@werunguns]

Yeah I thought so too. Thanks for watching.

[@Maximum1A]

Your scope falling off was too funny 😂

[@BT_Spanky]

Blue LocTite on my Romeo5xdr and it’s been holding pretty well.

[@sclass21]

I just ordered one prior to seeing this video. Great black Friday sale @ olight

[@werunguns]

Nice, hope you like it. What are you mounting it on?

[@sclass21]

@@werunguns its going on a build i did 16" stainless barrel with a 15" midwest Industries slim mlox rail. Keeping it super simple and clean. 5.56.

[@BT_Spanky]

Ordered mine(the Odin Mini bundle) when the Black Friday sale kicked off. Olight also took off an additional $5 for purchasing while logged into my customer account plus threw in another mini flashlight. Ended up paying $95.10! I wanted a SureFire but I’m an average guy with a family budget. I hate that I didn’t keep the one we were issued when I was in the Marine Corps(later found out we weren’t required to turn them back in).

[@paulhughes3961]

I have both the Odin and the mini not sure what's going on with your Romeo 5, I have one on my 300 BLK Out pistol and have had 0 issues.

[@eddiemoney9371]

What is the battery life like on this light? I’m in the market for a light but I was leaning toward the stream light protac xl.

[@BudgetPhoenix]

Blue loctite on all attachment screws, my Romeo5 doesnt move

[@BIGALGUNFUN]

Great review as always bro! Put some grip strength 💪 on that Romeo5 😁

[@werunguns]

That Romeo5... You know I tried mounting it to my Mossberg shockwave and had the same thing happen to me. Dude I don't know what to do with that thing lol. I swear I had it on tight.

[@BIGALGUNFUN]

@@werunguns Probably just got a bad mount bro 😊

[@kennythao9558]

How do you switch from the low setting to the high setting?

[@randomdog8107]

It says its scout mount compatible, but how would this light mount onto the magpal extended cantilever scout mount ? Can you google that mount and tell me if the odin mini would fit ? Please 🙏🙏🙏

[@shtf3088]

Thats a nice park. Where is that?

[@pellettron-nj9ci]

User error on the optic fail. Sig5 is awesome.

[@rahulvishwakarma8162]

It's a beauty

[@werunguns]

Thanks I think it ran great

[@golpherboy13]

How many rails does the pressure pad need on a picatinny rail? 7 or 9? Need to buy an M-LOK Picatinny rail for it. Thank you

[@werunguns]

Check out 4:32 and hit pause to check it out. Thanks for watching

SBR?

[@bookerwtight3457]

I got the klaris E1 1000 lumens smaller and lighter 7075 T6 Aluminum lPX8 waterproof rechargeable light that do a lot more than the Olight and its the real deal for $49 and run time is way longer with out getting real hot and with SOS and the panic light on Amazon cant beat dont come a mount tho l use one my other small mounts worth looking at

[@DaddyGerLo]

The only con is the proprietary 18500 battery. As of right now, there is no way to buy extra batteries. Not even Olight themselves sell just the battery.

[@blackcloudr1130]

What buffer are you running? Looks like you are under gassed looks like a 1-2 o’clock ejection pattern

[@werunguns]

It's the buffer that came with my Blade brace. What would you recommend I do?

you mean over gassed

Bro, watch my video the proper way to mount a red dot on your AR-15, it's one of my recent video's, it will fix that from ever doing it again..

better get some lock tight lol

"it's embarrassing" c'mon man, your error is pretty obvious... blue loctite for peace of mind as well.

I don't care for any of the red dot systems

I have some good ones but the Romeo5 mounting system has given me issues...

your gun is over gassed
