Got this in orange, it's absolutely amazing and a much more practical size-- Olight is just killing it now!

[@MSM4U2POM]

Together with LED Lenser they've been killing it for over ten years, my friend. Every one a winner!

[@ZippoVarga]

I'm anxious to compare the Mini to my Marauder 2. They're both tanks, but looks like the Mini will be a little more practical for a vehicle. Currently I've got the Freyer in the service truck because it has the RGB. The Mini will be a great replacement. Cheers Chris! Thanks for taking us along! Zip~

[@ChrispyThings]

I have the Freyer in my vehicle too. The wand feature is worth it alone to have in a car

[@stealthmanofthewoods2570]

en france j'ai la Freyer et le verre est blindé le système de blocage est performant et sure et on peut bloquer le capteur de présence ce que j'ai pas trouvé sur la mini , j'ai acheté la marauder mini il y a les mêmes mode que le Freyer mais sur la marauder mini le verre est du plastique vraiment dommage , sinon le mode tactique fonction que en mode large le mode rvb lui est bien plus puissant que la Freyer et réglable je garderai toujours ma Freyer grâce a son verre blindé qui est une valeur sure ,mais la mini est bien plus puissante attention au verrouillage sinon risque d'incendie

[@MSM4U2POM]

Just an opinion, but I'm pretty sure Olight have nailed the medium-sized handheld market with the Marauder Mini 2. I've looked high and low for something that can do the same, without success so far. I could be wrong, of course, but it looks like other makers have got some serious catching-up to do in this particular sector.

[@reefturkey]

Agreed

[@markpettie681]

This torch is just downright sick!! Love it!! Much gratitude on your review good sir🤘

[@Parker_Jim]

Great review. It's a nice looking flashlight and would be nice to have in my house or garage. The max spotlight is really good. Your new neighbors are gonna love you lol.

[@kirk1968]

Thank you for the very clear and thorough review! I ordered the bundle with the 2 Gober lights. Can't wait to try them out! Also, +1 for the Fangoria shirt, I discovered that magazine in 6th grade at issue #6 which had the first "Friday the 13th" cover story in 1980...my young mind was blown away by Tom Savini's effects work 😁

[@ChrispyThings]

Wow. I discovered it back in 84 but I don’t remember what my first issue was. And Savini is a legend!

[@Spacecruizer203]

im buying everything mini Love em dont stop making em 1Oo% good detailed overlook on this TooL

[@leoguy1609]

Bought the orange one With discounts paid $124.99, it came with a free Obulb and i3 EOS key chain flash light.

[@adsconlabouring]

Best torch ever I love mine come in handy. I've used it so many times

[@Kotallo_Skyclan]

Awesome review! I was wondering if you could do a review for the Acebeam L17 thrower.

[@Aerox90]

I'm currently waiting for this light to be shipped :) I already have the Marauder 2 but I think it's too bulky. Hopefully the Marauder Mini fits better in my jacket pocket! 😁

[@one4all885]

Good review. Agreed it needs to have a combination beam with both.

[@joeframo3347]

A happy holiday to you my friend another great video it's an awesome flashlight I think they did such a great job in coming out with the Mirada mini I like it so much better it's got a round beam and not square like the big one this is so much nicer and better thank you 👍

[@mikehawkswollen5819]

Guy, you post the same comments on every olight video. You are obviously being paid in some form or another.

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

I ordered the Mini a couple of weeks ago and wondered when they would post it ? the answer was 14 working days (three weeks) factor postage time and public holidays it might not make it by Christmas 😩

[@rectify2003]

Great review

[@johngarritzcx6733]

Is that middle spot a LEP or LED?? When i see 900 lumens noway??!! Nice popcan flooder&thrower😊😎😎

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

@3:02 It doesn't look like it needs too much of an angled surface to roll away, you gave it a very light push and it almost rolled over "one step". a solid "nut shape" or even just 5 large flats around would give it more of an antiroll IMO, I think most flashlight designers look too much at the visuals before the function there.

[@bankmaster5104]

Got bought my been waiting to get one

[@oweng.3102]

Love the shirt bro. Especially in red mode.😂

[@ajbfwb]

I have the Marauder II, and the Freyr. If the mini had higher lumens in the RGB (which I realize may not be feasible), it MIGHT have made sense for me to add to the arsenal. Given all that, the Black Friday pricing made it pretty tempting.

[@RGMerkel]

I know a few that want way brighter RGB and no idea why. Those are meant for night time and protecting your night vision and red for emergencies. Colors are good for fishing too at night.

[@stealthmanofthewoods2570]

ils sont bien plus elevés sur la mini que sur la Freyer je possède les deux je ne suis pas déçus sauf le verre en plastique sur le mini

[@Justifiedforce]

Was this recorded right before the storm hit us?

[@vladimirshanuhin7556]

hello how much did you pay for the black friday lantern

[@tomthackston1442]

Now that's crispy!

[@cameron6249]

that spotlight looks like the 60s old batman spotlight

[@dom3827]

The Big Marauder 2 has a better Spotlight. It is a very sharp square with no spill. So you can light a specific area wothout blinding anyone or anything next to it. You have a really sharp "border" from light to no light. Which is perfect. Outstanding for such a lamp.

[@dom3827]

Great for lighting something next to the road without blinding drivers with your spill and such.

[@bansheerider619]

I hate the square I think circle is better.

[@wradale]

Square shape is the only reason why I don't own it 👎

[@nicholasc3549]

G'day awesome video mate! Comparing the RGB modes to the Freyr would you say the marauder mini RGB throws a lot further and brighter with a more even flood? Cheers :)

[@ChrispyThings]

That’s a great question. I’m not exactly sure so I might just record a video comparing the 2 together. Thanks!

[@nicholasc3549]

@@ChrispyThings Thanks for the reply! From what I can tell the marauder looks to be a lot more throwier but it would definitely be cool to see the comparison of the two!

[@sssssssss4258]

Thank you . Please help me. I want the best for the long distance, 300 meters. What do you advise me please? Olight mini or sofirn f26 or wurkkos td01

[@Jaymakerx]

Cool light cooler shirt.

[@joeframo3347]

It's the toggle from a throw light to a flood light that switch is awesome I'm telling you Olight is cornering the flashlight market this flashlight is going to sell they're going to make millions of dollars on this flashlight it's just that all around great flashlight for camping hiking walking your dog everything lot of power just an awesome flashlight man I can't get over it I still have to buy the orange and the other color the black ones beautiful with the blue it's so nice I love it it's my new girlfriend 💕💕💕👍

[@jberts3141]

How does the spot light compare to the javelot mini?

[@ChrispyThings]

It’s a larger hotspot, well defined but not as defined as the Javelot Mini I’d say

[@NHWilderness]

I just ordered and tried 2 use your coupon code but I see long expired..oh well next time

[@ferdinandbellen8140]

cant decide between mini 2 vs wuben x1..

[@brazyflow2850]

You like this more than the nightcore p35I? I know the nightcore has lep for the spot but what do you think?

[@ChrispyThings]

I haven’t had enough time with this yet. I do like the Nitecore ability to combine spit and flood together, and I like the menu screen. The marauder mini has RGB leds and that super convenient toggle switch.

[@brazyflow2850]

@@ChrispyThings yeah true I know once you said about combining both modes that’s one thing you really liked about the nitecore. I guess both have there pros and cons. There similar yet different lol

[@37gdog]

Those twist to turn on key chain lights suck. If you want a good key chain light pick up an Astrolux K2 SST20 300LM.

[@ChrispyThings]

I have tons of non twisting keychain lights. I don’t really have any issues with the twist to operate lights. What don’t you like about them?

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

Q ? will it work after being in my kitchen draw after 2 yrs and I really need it to Fn work ....

[@ChrispyThings]

I’ll let you know in 2 years.

[@joeframo3347]

They're going to make a fortune on this flashlight because changing that beam to round circle yeah it makes a big difference the big one the original one had the square beam it just looked like it was a cheap flashlight a lot of those cheap flashlights you can pull in and out to make your being more flood and then narrow had that square being to it I hated that being I hate that pattern but O lights going to make a lot of money making a big difference in this flashlight way better than the big one thank you for sharing my friend and enjoy it man it's beautiful I love it that's the only reason why I bought that flashlight because of it beam was changed into a circular pattern which I love that off to Olight now my favorite flashlight company

[@dom3827]

The Square beam is much better because it is much sharper with much less spill. It is far better for lighting a specific area without blinding anything next to it, like cars, workers and such. Why does it look cheap? Cheap lights have a square because you see the LED Die. On this one you dont see the die, it is on purpose. And cheap lights by far are not that sharp. You just need to know the purpose why they did that. The spot on the mini is far worse with much more spill and far less throw.

[@mikehawkswollen5819]

Guy, you post the same comments on every olight video. You are obviously being paid in some form or another.

[@mikeenslin3009]

@@dom3827 the marauder was never about maximum throw. It was about practicality. The round beam is nice imo, the spill is useful if you actually need a spotlight to look for stuff, which is what most people need. If you want maximum throw and no spill, use a lep, it's gonna destroy even the normal marauder while being smaller. The mini offers more in a smaller package and it's also priced a lot more reasonable. I think most people will prefer it after having used both in real life, that's what I did.

[@dom3827]

@@mikeenslin3009 LEP`s are not legal to purchase in many areas. Thats what the marauder is for, too and what other thrower specific leds are for.

[@mikeenslin3009]

@@dom3827 I've never heard of that. I live in Germany and it's usually pretty strict when it comes to stuff like that and you can buy them no problem. But fair enough, they're super expensive anyway. My point is, noone that needs a specialised thrower should buy a marauder or even a marauder mini. They're both amazing lights but as I said, they're not made for peak performance but rather practically and for the sake of the concept. Any dedicated thrower with a osram w1 of similar will give you a nicely focused beam with no spill, there are plenty to choose from that are better throwers than both the marauders and cost a fraction.

[@user-wk1kv7pk5u]

А подскажите,пожалуйста,аккумулятор у этого фонарика съёмный? Можно всегда иметь с собой запасной заряженный аккумулятор.

[@TreenighetMaranata]

I would rather have white light where the other three colors are placed, and also that they implemented the "Moonlight" function! The battery would have been drained much faster if you had been able to have both wide and focused light on at the same time! After all, it is good that you can switch between the two different modes, wide and focused light! Thank you for your review.🤗❤

[@JPC326]

How does it ocmpare to the Sofirn Q8 Pro (11000 Lumen)

[@ChrispyThings]

I don’t own that light unfortunately

[@37gdog]

The Q8 Pro is hard to beat at half the cost of the Marauder Mini, in my opinion. Buy I may still buy the Marauder Mini. Sofirn and Wurkkos are hard to beat for the money.

[@ktys206]

Hi could someone point me in the right direction for a plug for this torch don't want to get the wrong one and to mess the battery up any help would be much appreciated

[@ChrispyThings]

Its the Olight magnetic charger MCC3 2 amp

[@joeframo3347]

Come on it works perfectly I like how they made it it doesn't have to have both I'd like to switch you getting too greedy now

[@joeframo3347]

It is a everyday carry flashlight absolutely the only thing I would like them to do is to put it at least 12,000 lumens and I would love that or even more the more the merrier but 7,000 is very good for starters very very good thank you for this great video really appreciate it 👍👍👍👍

[@DrStfuFool]

Marauder Mini looks cool, but it seems a bit misleading for it to put 7000 lumens next to 600 meters when it’s the spotlight maxed at 900 lumens throwing 600 meters, not 7000. Little things like that throw me off.

[@jamesfair9751]

Lumen has nothing to do with distance. When the light is set deep inside with long reflector is where the distance comes from and candela is how the number you want to look for. You can have 500 lumen with 100,000 candela that will reach 1000 or farther. Lumen is total amount of light output. Spot lights have a lot less light output (lumen) as it’s all focused into one spot.

[@DrStfuFool]

@@jamesfair9751 that’s great, but to someone unfamiliar like myself, the 7000lm next to the 600m suggests it will flood up to 600m. Which sounds awesome, particularly if you’re someone who works in wide open areas at night. I looked at the LEPs and they have very tight hot spots, and the LED flooders have very low range. I like they attempted to combine the two. I just felt a little let down realizing the flood wasn’t 600m. The Warrior X 3 seems to be the better of both worlds. IMO

[@freemoney3723]
