MUST READ... Funny story, I lost the pocket clip for my stylus pro and called Streamlight. I kept having problems getting anyone so I ended up punching in some extension for some random person. Apparently the phone rang in an important meeting with the top guys at Streamlight from what I gathered. Someone answered and I explained what had happened and I heard a lot of laughter from multiple individuals. I was on speakerphone. I was asked how I got that number and I said a lot of random buttons. More laughter ensued. The guy said let me get some information from you and I'll take care of you. Needless to say, a few days later, I received a pocket clip and a FREE Microstream! It was their newest version at the time. The info left inside had the gentlemans name who I had spoken to and personally took care of this package for me. He turned out to be the Head of their East Coast (regional) sales! I can't say enough good stuff about Streamlight! I have 8 of their products and am a loyal customer for life.
Well you took my virginity. I bought this based on your link on Facebook. My first ever Amazon purchase and the first purchase ever from a recommendation on Facebook. Thanks
My coyote light just came in and charging now. Cant wait to start using! Glad I got it with the high output first cause in a high stress situation you won’t remember to double click.
When the wife wants to borrow gear for more than 1 day, it’s safe to assume that item has converted into a gift. Gave me a reason to buy another Streamlight!
I lost mind and found it in my rock driveway after 5 inches of rain and it was run over multiple times as far as I can tell. I’ve washed and dried it accidentally many times too. Still works.
Second, Streamlights are my favorite EDC lights and i would trust my life with any of their products. Mrgunsngear i would love to have that coyote colored one in my collection. Another awesome review bro
No thank you for giving a truthful review on all of the products you review bro. Also most of the products you review i have because they are reliable and the common middle class man can afford.
I’m on my second one. I had my first one for about a year and a half to two years but I dropped it in a river so I had to order another. I got another coyote and I love it. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go with another mini light
I've had several issues with tail switches failing with small stream lights. I still carry them as a utility light but I have a hard time trusting them to always function. Oh and thank you for the review. You do an excellent job.
The only urban light i care about. Small and light; 50 lumens are enough for walks and dark closed spaces, with 250 for about 12 minutes if you need more light for some time. Hard to beat, and i really hope that Streamlight develops the basic platform for additional performance.
Great video dude. I got the Stream light micro stream c4, I love it but watching your video I think it's time for a upgrade. I wanna get one of these, I like the red one. Great video dude.
I had the coyote and lost it so I bought a (Amazon didn't have a red one) blue one thinking it would be easier to see if dropped and as soon as it arrived I tightened up the belt (it sucks) clip so it would fit tighter in my pocket and then I cut a thin round piece of plastic and put it inside the end cap hole so it will now go on and off easier...so far so good.
I’ve been comparing edc flashlights for the past couple of days. Seems like streamlight has the best bang for the buck and last longer. If you’re looking to store a light in a bag look at Streamlight 71500 Jr. with a lithium battery it will last 10 hours. I’ve had one since hurricane Sandy and has never let me down
thanks for showing the new microstream some love! battery is a 10440 probably wont work with an efest flat top unless you use a small rare earth magnet or dollop of solder. my old microstream fits a 10440 button top. i got the ultrafire brand 4 pack on ebay for 10 bucks
These are awesome lights. I’ve had three of them that I’ve had for over a year now. They have survived the washing machine test many times lol. Only problem I’ve ever had is for some reason the tail cap on my coyote comes loose every once and a while.
Just grabbed a coyote one. I'm in my truck all the time. Not sure why I never grabbed one. 🤔 Got a huge maglight as a gift and it rides in the toolbox cuz it's soooo loud and rattly can't wait to get it!
Wish Streamlight would revamp the protac 1aaa in this USB rechargable format. I much prefer that light to this one, except for it plows through batteries
I have to say i started buying "good" flashlights a few years back . I started with coast /led lensor and was happy for some time had to replace many times but price and performance was good . Then went to fenix and teralux bouth were briliant performers but more expencive , still fell short on durability. Then i found streemlight and found exactly what i have ben looking for A little simpilar and more dureable. I still have a lot of respect for the other brands that i mentioned but now im very happy with streemlight
I have been carrying the Microstream 0114 model that has 45 lumens. It's a great light. I still cannot understand why people buy the EDC lights that have a wide diameter.
Mike, I carry a non-USB Microstream for EDC and love it. Got it for $12 on Amazon thanks to a link you posted. Great review on this Microstream USB and I would like to get a Coyote version when I can find a deal on one. I hope you do a review on the new Olight I3T which will be out shortly. I think it will replace my Microstream.
I'm a police officer who Carrie's the giant rechargeable streamlight that every single cop has. I found myself always turning it down and getting tired of it always being on me. I still keep it in my car for traffic stops but now I use this microstream all the time to search and most low light no light activities. I even carry it in my pocket off duty. It's an amazing little light and all I really ever need in a flashlight.
Brother it’s time to convert that garage door into a traditional spring assembly. It’s gonna cost you at first but it’s a lot cheaper to get parts for and a heck of a lot safer.
If you get the black one, it starts low then double click to high. If you get the tan model, it starts at high and then double click to low. Just get the one that you would mostly likely use with just one click.
That's a 10440 battery which is the same size as a AAA. Have you tried running it on a AAA? It might work albeit probably not as bright, but if you need light in an emergency, it's always nice for a light to be able to use disposable batteries as well.
For $50 I'll take my Olight S1 Mini Baton for my EDC. It's not a "tactical" light but smaller, more lumens, more modes, has a magnetic tail so you can attach to metal surfaces, has similar removable pocket clip, is rechargible and has a lock out so you don't run it in your pocket.
I have a stubby 18350 light, Emisar D4 with the shorty tube. But I find that the AAA form factor is easier to EDC, clipped inside the front pocket. The lower profile makes it easier to forget that it’s even there.
Dang I love it but can’t find the coyote color anywhere I still carry the old style. It’s still a good little light Thanks for the content and absolutely love the deals on Facebook thanks 🙏
I feel like one of these could be quite readily fitted to a long gun for a budget close-range rifle light. I mean sure that would be cheaping out super hard, but I've seen sillier things. At least it would be really light weight.
Hey man. This is off topic, but vympel is selling a 124gr hp branded as red army standard for pretty cheap at sg. I really like golden tiger and getting ready to re up my stash. Have you heard anybody getting this? Accuracy? Its either this or barnual white box.
The light has the tail switch where if you click all the way down it stays on hands free. So yes if you turn the light on then clip it to your hat the light stays on
@@Mrgunsngear sadly. I couldn't find one locally (I wanted one NOW for my new EDC kit) and opted to pay 50 to pick up the USB opposed to having a AAA shipped for half the cost. I don't like the idea of having to charge for outdoor/bushcraft/survival use. Would be better to carry an extra battery or two. Think I'll order a AAA version and compare, but the Lumens output on the USB cant be beat. Loving it so far though
"Improvement over the cellphone." Absolutely. Can't tell you of the many times I've had to fiddle around with my cellphone to use the flashlight app, a real pain the butt!!
This is a great light, it’s my EDC. Their only downfall is the clip, the clips come off way too easily. I’ve lost my clip while wearing it in my pocket.
JNH 88 I’m sorry... I have bought the AAA one a few times because of the clip falling off and eventually losing the light. After I put the zip tie on the one I have now g2g so far. Hopefully you find a clip or maybe can get one cheap? After this review think I’m going to get this one as well I love this light.

Warmachine_13 that’s awesome!
If you only had that extension.
Could you post that extension here?? (Just kidding)
Hahaha that’s hilarious
My favourite, the best for urban EDC in the USB department.
Well you took my virginity. I bought this based on your link on Facebook. My first ever Amazon purchase and the first purchase ever from a recommendation on Facebook. Thanks
I wish they would make that light in duel fuel so u could put in a AAA in as a emergency backup.
That was my biggest disappointment :(
Tip: A little bit of silicone grease on the o-rings help extend o-ring life and also helps with water resistance.
Killer! Right on for the tip!
@@dingdang3845 💪
Just got mine from Amazon after you shared the sale. Blows my mind how lightweight this thing is.
it's a really impressive light all around
Streamlight makes great products!
Indeed
Excellent! I just bought the Red one!

Nice. Didn't know these were available. Priced nicely too. Easy impulse purchase. Get it before you have to pay sales tax... Thanks SCOTUS.
Indeed
Get it from where??
Sales tax? We already pay sales tax lol
Nut
Not only have I used micros for EDC for years but I've had a polytac mounted on my fire helmet for about 10yrs and it's still strong.
nice
I lost mind and found it in my rock driveway after 5 inches of rain and it was run over multiple times as far as I can tell. I’ve washed and dried it accidentally many times too. Still works.
I love the Microstream USB. I have had the Coyote for a couple of years, and just ordered the Black. Great EDC light.
Streamlight honors their lifetime warranty too. Sent back a few well-used Stylus Pros for new tail caps without issues over the years.
thanks for the report
I really appreciate your detailed reviews. Thank you.
you're very welcome

Wow. Just saw these on sale at dvor and looked up reviews and you just put this up last week.
The classic microstream is my edc light, and has been for a few years now
nice

This looks awesome. Going to pick one up for my EDC. Thanks for making these videos. So helpful!
You're welcome 👍🏽
Excellent and honest review as always. I’ve got the coyote one and really like it.
Love the Island jams in the intro !!🍻
Thanks for the review!! Helped me make my decision for my EDC.
You know it's good if the wife keeps it lol. Good one Mike!
😁
Great reviews. Thumbs up.
Thank you
Got mine two months ago, very nice light. Ordered the Coyote version, as I prefer the High Mode start up first....
Great video dude. I got the Stream light micro stream c4, I love it but watching your video I think it's time for a upgrade. I wanna get one of these, I like the red one. Great video dude.

We need USB C!!
Agreed.
Another great light review!!!

Man I'm living in the stone ages carrying my Surefire 6p
no doubt!
Shure fire is still good. Very good actualy. But i like the tailcap on streem light best
Excellent Excellent Review!
Thanks for the review! Just went to Amazon and bought one, lol.
same! Lol
Thank you for the vid! Will definitely be ordering one because of it👍
Thank you
I got the coyote one yesterday!
Good review. Fair price and multiple screw ups-I mean liquid test cell sessions make this one I will definitely consider adding to stable.
Thank you
There is a lanyard that comes with the coyote colored microstream light, what are the configurations to attach this lanyard?
thanks for showing the new microstream some love!
battery is a 10440
probably wont work with an efest flat top unless you use a small rare earth magnet or dollop of solder.
my old microstream fits a 10440 button top. i got the ultrafire brand 4 pack on ebay for 10 bucks
These are awesome lights. I’ve had three of them that I’ve had for over a year now. They have survived the washing machine test many times lol. Only problem I’ve ever had is for some reason the tail cap on my coyote comes loose every once and a while.
I might add they went through the dryer too ha ha
Just grabbed a coyote one. I'm in my truck all the time. Not sure why I never grabbed one. 🤔 Got a huge maglight as a gift and it rides in the toolbox cuz it's soooo loud and rattly can't wait to get it!
Ive ot the stylus pro us and love it it's only 70 lumens but still been a great light. One setting and 6-7hrs of battery life.
nice
Streamlight, still kicking A$$ and taking names!!!
😁
Wish Streamlight would revamp the protac 1aaa in this USB rechargable format. I much prefer that light to this one, except for it plows through batteries

Get the strion, I made the switch from the usual stinger.
@@dcjosh93 yeah I have the stinger HL I will check that out. Thanks for the pro tip
Just got a Coyote. How did I miss this light? Finally a shorter replacement for my Preon 2AAA with the same output. And it’s rechargeable!
Just got the coyote. Really nice, but I have to get my thumbnail on the switch just right and press deeply for constant on
The microstream is the Ruger LCP of tactical lights
The boxers are the best part. Have you done an intro of the dogs? I think I remember seeing that. Miss my boxer Stubbs so much
not sure if I have
Brother it’s time to convert that garage door into a traditional spring assembly. It’s gonna cost you at first but it’s a lot cheaper to get parts for and a heck of a lot safer.
Love the dogs
Ditto
Where can we find the coyote model? Great review!
Now that the PA cyclops is available for pre order can you please release your review, trust your opinion enough to buy or not buy. Thanks man
I'm very happy with the Poly Tac X I just bought and this one too has piqued my interest
I love the form factors. But I HATE the multiple soft clicks to change modes. I’ll just stick to the old models that don’t have multiple modes.
fair enough
It would be cool if the control board was in the tailcap and you could switch the two.
If you get the black one, it starts low then double click to high. If you get the tan model, it starts at high and then double click to low. Just get the one that you would mostly likely use with just one click.
Trying to decide between this or the pro TAC 2l-x
That's a 10440 battery which is the same size as a AAA. Have you tried running it on a AAA? It might work albeit probably not as bright, but if you need light in an emergency, it's always nice for a light to be able to use disposable batteries as well.
doesn't
oh wow thats weird. i thought it would work. interesting!
If they made it aaa or rechargeable it would be killer
Looks like primary arms has the Coyote one in stock..for now
mcbeet1
Good place to shop
Plus $10 shipping. I just ordered the coyote. I didn't realize streamlight had this option.
Can you use a generic 10440 battery in the Microstream?
For $50 I'll take my Olight S1 Mini Baton for my EDC. It's not a "tactical" light but smaller, more lumens, more modes, has a magnetic tail so you can attach to metal surfaces, has similar removable pocket clip, is rechargible and has a lock out so you don't run it in your pocket.

You're welcome 👍🏽
What model number gives you the white light, like in the video rather than the blue tint led.
not sure what blue tint you're referencing
Can you lock the output so that it always turns on the high setting first? Then double tap if you want low?
I have a collection of Streamlight's. You can't go wrong with Streamlight. Some of the switches are programmable.
Ditto

Lumens!
😁
Don't you hate when MrsGunsngear steals your gear?
Indeed
can you charge normal 10440 batteries in them
Where does the included lanyard attach?
I'd imagine most would put it on the clip
Does anyone carry a Mag lite anymore?.....
can you add a keyring to a microstream?
Obviously the wife approves. You probably could have bypassed the dogs. Lol
My only issue has been the pocket clip. I keep bending it. It gets caught on my seatbelt or other things, and bends.
thanks for the report
Does it work if u put a regular battery in there ?
No
@@Mrgunsngear sadly. I couldn't find one locally (I wanted one NOW for my new EDC kit) and opted to pay 50 to pick up the USB opposed to having a AAA shipped for half the cost.

Can we use AAA batteries in it, in case of emergency?
I thought I was hearing bow chicka wow wow in the intro music
Duly noted
Qual a bateria utilizada ? Tem como repor ? Caso sim, onde ?
My wife also like black ones lol
I carry a microstream every day I use it a lot
Mine uses a AAA battery
This is a great light, it’s my EDC. Their only downfall is the clip, the clips come off way too easily. I’ve lost my clip while wearing it in my pocket.
thanks for the report
Had the same issue. I ran a small zip tie across the clip so it wouldn’t pop off the light. It seems to be working out. Hope this helps.
RJ Y Sr. That’s a great idea, unfortunately I lost my clip and have yet to find it.

This is the only USB light I’ll keep on me. Everything else is toooo bulky or low lumens.
Thank you
Does it take Glock mags? Seriously tho, I would mount that on a rifle if I could find/make a mount.

Great review! Buddy, clip your fur babys claws.. when they get that long, they start to be painful.. with every step.
not mine; dog sitting
Wish they made a copper one...
one day
come on gives a count lol how many flash lights do you own ? you should ask that Q and do a give away to the person guesses right or gets the closest
Qual o tipo de bateria ?
Sidney Cavalcante es propio de streamlight pero se vende separado igual.
Anyone ever have a problem with this not staying on?? It clicks, you let it go, it shuts off... W...T... F
