You definitely have a points 😎👍

I hate to say this but Olight is turning into a "toy" maker.

It will be the javelot mini 2...😄

@@dume no no... Javalot Mini Pro! 🤣

@@tyronewalker5764 I think they have been there for a while...

Thank you, I try 😎👍

Thanks friend, your appreciation means a lot 😎👍

Should’ve got the Baton series. The power u get in distance with the Javelot is the same with the Baton series except it’s a flood light instead of long range. I got the Baton 3 pro max on sale for like $70 if I stand in the center of my street and shine the light down the road on its highest setting it will light up houses on both sides of the street about 400-500 ft down and it’s like daylight. Even on the second lowest setting it still lights up 150ft out and 40-50ft wide. The Baton 3 pro is a little less powerful at 1750 lumens compared to the pro max at 2500 and even that has enough power to light up the entire block and it’s only a little bigger than a Bic lighter. When Olight has a sale you can get those for about $55-$59. I did buy the Mini Marauder which goes up to 7000 lumens. Truthfully there really isn’t any practical purpose to having a light that powerful but it is damn cool. Thing is I don’t reach for it often cuz it’s heavy. If you’re gonna go for a 30min walk you’ll quickly realize you prefer carrying something smaller. I don’t regret buying it tho. Still super cool to use every once in a while. Highly suggest u buy one of the baton models for daily use

@@RKLS90 Thank you so much. Your testimony is much needed. I was actually debating on the Baton 3 Pro (in white) or this Javelot mini. But now I may go for the Baton 3 Pro Max next. Thanks again, sir.

It's a mini tactical flashlight, It's definitely not made for what you're going to be using it for. However, it might be perfect for what you need it for. So with that said I think that on the low mode 5 to 20 ft away is more than reasonable. 😎👍

I like it so far so good. It is performs pretty well.

The if22a is heavier and larger and you can use it to charge your phone oddly enough. However, the Javelot Mini throws a more stable beam with a better hot spot at a distance. The further out you go with the If22a the more undefined and blurry the beam becomes. They both throw equally for the most part but on paper the if22a throws about 280ish feet further with a less defined beam if that makes sense. 🤷‍♂️😎👍

Also you could see my side by side comparison video in the description.

@@PreparedGuy thank you so much!! I'll check it out! Happy filming, keep up the amazing content! 👏🏾 😁

???

Absolutely

Sometimes I work with dyes on different projects and they don't come out right away. So instead of people being distracted with rainbow hands I decided to distract them with gloves. 🤣👍

6.5 minutes like is says on screen in the video hence why I show the instruction manual 🤣👍

@@PreparedGuy lol this obvious I didn't watch this lame video that's why I asked you a question make ur videos more interesting

It's a JAVELOT mini, which a regular Javelot is basically a long range flashlight. Which means that the mini would also be a long range flashlight but smaller. The charging method is really not an issue for some but it would probably be nice to see a c type charging port on these especially since it's so much smaller and a lot of folks use c-type for everything these days. However the reason for the magnetic charging port is because c type charging ports wear out over time. Thus it promotes the longevity of being able to change without the fort becoming damaged over time. What's it helps ensure that the device will stay waterproof. My preference of magnetic charging vs c-type charging varies from flashlight to flashlight. For some models it's great to see a C type, on others not so much. It's really the preference of the user as well. It would have been pretty neat to see a moonlight mode on this light but they do make other flashlights. I know that Olight outdone themselves with the newest EDC flashlight coming out very soon. I would wait on purchasing any flashlights until you see this new one coming out within the next couple of months. I have it already and it's pretty amazing.

@@PreparedGuy I use the sofirn If22a, it has a nice shape and throws a far beam and a huge battery which needs little charging. It's 5 inch length and i use an open holster for it. My only 2 complaints is i wish it were a little less weight and those side buttons take time to find. I'm looking now at the thrunite catapult mini with onboard charging. Great video tho !

I had to review a light nobody had any information about for a sale that didn't exist yet a month before they even announced a sale. I get random lights sent to me ahead of time with no information and even when olight gives me information they change details last minute and I create most of my videos weeks if not months before the release announcement. They told me the Javelot mini was going to have a mount a month before the releases and a week later they designed a completely different light and released it without informing me about it. They basically identical. Blame olight for this video having inaccurate details about the mounting option. Their marketing team has extremely poor communication. 🤷‍♂️

@@PreparedGuy thank you for your reply kind of you to take the time I have a Javelot mini coming in the mail your review was very helpful to me and I appreciate you putting it up I fully understand your reasoning for this mistake with this review of a new product before information from olight was provided you have done an awesome job thank you

@@thomasvanmeurs443 anytime man, I hope you enjoy the Javelot mini. It's one of my favorites. I think you'll really like it.👍 😎👍

Yeah a lot of folks feel the same way.

Yeah I was hoping for at least an 18650, heck they could have pulled off a 21700 if they really wanted to just buy making it a little fatter. Probably in the mini pro version down the road.

Yeah I wasn't very excited about the battery situation either but it's over all a decent light, it's just not for everyone. However, I will have some non proprietary battery flashlight on the channel soon. 😊👍
