Watchlist

Common complaints

No thermal regulation, causing step down due to heat after turbo mode.

Threads are somewhat difficult to start or unscrew.

Heats up significantly on turbo/high modes making prolonged handheld use uncomfortable.

Limited retention options, some users find shoulder strap front mount flimsy.

Low voltage protection is not fully clear; caution advised with unprotected cells.

Large size and weight (over 600 grams without batteries) makes compact carry difficult.
