You can also buy A rechargeable battery pack from Black Diamond I got mine for my storm 450 and it works great saved me a lot of money I use it everyday
Those rechargeable battery packs are awesome! Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching! Let us know if you have other gear related questions and we can try to answer them in future videos!
I wish you would have went over the R-rechargeable vs alkaline vs Dual fuel models. No one seems to mention the various models in this regard… I went to an outdoor store and bought the spot 400 dual fuel thinking it had the rechargeable battery but when I got home was disappointed to find it did not and I had to buy the battery pack for and extra $30… The print on their boxes is so small …. 😢
We're sorry you didn't have a better experience shopping for Black Diamond headlamps. If you ever need help or have gear questions come into your local Al's Sporting Goods or if you can make it in you can call us and one of our associates can help answer you gear questions. In the meantime, here's a link to a Black Diamond article discussing these differences, we hope this helps in the future: blackdiamondequipment.co.za/dualfuel-vs-rechargable-headlamps/ Thanks for watching!
@0utcast the light distance doesn't translate as well on video, but you'll notice the difference when you use it in person! And that extended battery life will be perfect for your nighttime snowshoeing! Let us know how it performs in the field for you!
so it just arrived and looks fantastic upon unboxing. it feels solidly built and is not overly big. it felt comfortable. as for the instructions they are kind of confusing just like all black diamond instructions are. not really any english descriptions like you would read in an instruction manual instead more pictorial in nature. that made figuring out how to navigate between 15lm, 300lm, and 800lm difficult. but im impressed with its performance as so far.
@@AlsSportingGoodsInccan you do a review video on this specific headlamp and go over the modes like which is which etc since the instructions suck and customer support isnt really doing a good job of explaining stuff.
You're right, just looked at the Black Diamond website and the only thing I found was the Distance 1500's max burn time on low listed at 40 hours. If we can't get the info from black diamond we'll just test them ourselves. Thank you for watching!
A little more digging and we found this: blackdiamondequipment.co.za/dualfuel-vs-rechargable-headlamps/ if you go to the bottom of the page they cover the lumens, range, and burn time for different models and battery types! We hope this helps! If you ever need any help please come into your local Al's Sporting Goods or shop online at als.com! Thank you again for watching and reaching out, have a great day!
Awesome feedback @WeileWorld we'll let Black Diamond know. They have micro USB as their recharging option currently but as USB-C gains popularity they might add that as a buying option in the future!
Oh man! We're sorry to have missed that detail. For more information on lumen output, see the "features" section in the description of each listing on our website!
You're right! The Cosmo 350 is that sweet spot between the Astro and the Spot! We should do a video solely dedicated to the Cosmo Models! There's also a Cosmo 350-R rechargeable model! So many awesome features, while you wait for the video, check them out with the link below! www.als.com/cosmo%20350?_q=cosmo%20350&map=ft

Distance 1500 doesn’t seem to throw all that far. I just ordered one of those because i go nighttime snowshoeing.

@AlsSportingGoodsInc absolutely will do. It arrives tommorow!

We'll get right on it! Thanks for reaching out!
Great video
Thanks @ktm5009 we're glad you liked it!
What is the runtime of all these. No one not even the website talk about runtime

USB-C or I don’t buy.

You didnt mention the lumens
Oh man! We're sorry to have missed that detail. For more information on lumen output, see the "features" section in the description of each listing on our website!
what about the Cosmo 350 the one I was actually looking for? Thumbs down to this video!
