Жаль что мне этот обзор не попался до покупки фонаря. Я хотел Convoy S11, но никак не мог найти его характеристики. Той информации, что опубликована у продавцов, мало. Купил Sofirn C8G, но продолжал мечтать о Convoy S11. Сейчас посмотрел видео и понял, что я сделал правильный выбор, купив Sofirn C8G. Спасибо 🙏 огромное за обзоры, благодаря Вам я купил Mateminco G02 (у Вас есть обзор Astrolux HL02, они одинаковы). Довольно долго хотел купить CyanSky HS6R (опять же - благодаря Вашему обзору), но всё-таки передумал. В принципе у меня и без того много фонарей, одних только велосипедных фар купил более 30 штук. И вот среди них лучшую не нашёл. Использую ту, которую купил лет 5 назад. Ваши обзоры очень нравятся, и из-за того, что фонари сравниваются с другими фонарями, а также показаны одни и те же места, где происходит сравнение фонарей, эти обзоры очень ценны. Спасибо 🙏

Man i like it, is in the throwing side, but not in the extreme throwing side. I thing is one of the most suitable flashlights for me, because i am a fun of the the thrower flashlights, but not the extreme throwing. Very good option. Not that the other flashlights in the video are bad, not at all bad, it's clearly a matter of taste, or you can have many different flashlights and everytime you choose what you like or what you need.

[@maximaniac7231]

The Convoy and the Sofirn are almost the same price as long as you don't buy the Sofirn at Amazon. I bought mine for instance with a 21700 battery for around $25 shipped. That said, I also have the Convoy S11 (I think I might have too many flashlights...) and it does definitely make for a better walking light. The C8G is not really meant for that. I use mine for searching the woods from my deck.
