Thrunite Catapult Pro vs Olight Warrior X Turbo - Long Comparison Light Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Long comparison review of the Thrunite Catapult Pro vs Olight Warrior X Turbo. Even though they look very different, many of the features and technical details are very similar. I start off with a tabletop review of both lights followed up with the outside comparison portion of both lights. Even though I'm a big fan of both brands/lights... if I had to choose between the two, I'd have to spend my money on the Catapult Pro over the Warrior X Turbo.

Every single comparison between these 2 lights, the Thrunite ALWAYS comes out on top!
Both great lights, if I had to choose, I would go with the THRUNITE. Thanks for the video Tim, always informative and enjoyable. Be well my friend.
Thrunite for me. I just like the beam better and I love the firefly mode. Great lights!
I concur. 👍
I have to say I definitely like the bigger spill on the Thrunite.👍🏻
Excellent review! Just received the Thrunite Catapult Pro yesterday--awesome light! I think that--aside from the tail switch--the Thrunite outshines the Olight in this comparison.
Olight makes beautiful lights, but I stopped buying them when they went to the proprietary (magnetic) charging system. Olight recently started selling lights that not only have the proprietary charging, but non-removable batteries as well, which carries the potential of completely stranding the user without a working flashlight. Not a risk I want to take.
That's true, especially if you seen a bear lights out supper time
I have the Olight and the Thrunite is due to arrive tomorrow. Glad I bought it to add to the collection. I already have 3 of the earlier Catapult V6s, one the SST70 with the 4th (Pro) arriving tomorrow. I also have 5 of the TC20s now including the PRO. Thrunite does very well on those two models IMO. Thanks for the review! Love the beam shots. Really shows a lot and help the viewer to compare.
Yeah, this Catapult Pro is real work horse. When I need to light up something far away, this is the light I reach for.
Good video. I love the thrunight
Im a big tail switch fan on any light, always know where on/off is. FYI - the Olights 150 lumen will be a half press on the switch, but I much prefer the Thrunites beam pattern, bigger hot spot and bit of spill.
They have a tan color for the pro now! It's in neutral white vs the cw for the black.
I’ve seen it. I like it. Just not a fan of NW.
I recently got the tan color version. Is it really neutral white tint? In my eyes it's very pure white. Maybe the black in cool white is noticeable bluish then?
I have a desert tan pro with cw led.
I like Olight a Lot. But the Thrunite has a nice Wash. Its always good to see whats around you. The Olight Wash is to close in my Opinion
I concur.
What the Eff is a “wash?” Geesh
🤣
It's a crenelated bezel, not a "self defense" bezel. There are practical reasons for them, but it's obviously personal preference. One use case (arguably the primary) is seeing light seep out of the gaps between a flat surface and the crenellations. Whether that is just so you can see if it's on, or to give a very small amount of spill light on a table top without the intensity of the hotspot. The next reason being primarily aesthetic. Realistically, that type of crenellation is not for striking a person.
Good comment dude, and right on! I wouldn’t have a light without some level of crenelation on the bezel. Peace
I failed to mention, Olight states it is a “strike bezel,” in their literature.
Agreed, though whether it's made as a strike weapon or not I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a head or face strike with that crenulated bezel.
Sure enough Wade
i have 2 Thrunite the best no problems hands down.
The Thru Nite seems to be the best one. A nice throw, and good spill ! All my lights use the same type battery i.e. "AA"/14500, 18650/CR123. Blame the military for teaching redundancy and interchangeability.... LoL. Over the past 12 months I've picked up a couple of Wuben's (C-3 - 18650 & 2 CR123 - 1200lu) and (E-6 - 14500, 900lu & "AA" 450lu) The E-6 has a much better throw. Also a couple of Sofirn's (SC31T 18650, 2,000lu. Also runs on 2 CR123) and (SP10V3, 14500 1,000 Lu /"AA" 500lu). The SC31T has a good throw and spill. The SP10V3 has not much throw at all, but a wide & bright spill - both types of batteries. My favs are the Wuben E-6 and Sofirn SC31T. Only detractor on the little Wuben Is having to remove the battery to charge it.
Just curious, what kind of comms, if any, do you have for field use ?
If by comms you mean external microphone for my camera, I have the Rode Wireless GO II but it’s only been used once. When I had my Canon G7x Mark II the onboard microphone was amazing, no external mic needed. I now use my iPhone for all video and again just use the onboard mic. I own a Canon RP but it’s only used for pictures, no video. The one time I tested it for video with the RODE Wireless Go it worked perfectly.
@@GearReviewDepot I meant radio communications
@@baronedipiemonte3990 For? Who do I need to talk to when I’m in the woods? Other than myself. 🤣
I have the catapult pro in desert color and afor flood I have a sp36 blf and they make a great pair. Not really into flashlights but I wanted a couple nice ones for outdoor activities and hurricane season. The power goes out a couple times a year in s.e. Louisiana.
Great choices!
At 18:39 just as the car goes past, I definitely see something zip by in the sky!
Birds aren’t very active at night, but we do have lots of bats who are very busy during the night.
Thrunight 👍👍
I enjoy your flashlight reviews even though I don't own anything more sophisticated than a $25 hardware store flashlight. So, which addiction is more advanced flashlight or backpacks? I'm more of a backpack guy :)
At the moment flashlights exceed the backpacks. 😉
Get some more flashlights and you'll need a new backpack lol.
@@66marbor Sounds like a good plan to me! lol
Thrunite wins 🙌
Thrunite for the win!
Always Thrunite.
Hello ladies and gentlemen
Well, which flashlight can be considered better?
Yours sincerely 😀
Thrunite. 🙂
@@GearReviewDepot
And everything is clear🤗
Thank you 😉
Tim I think the olight has a longer warranty by a few years?
I believe so. Longer warranty but good luck should you need to use it. I personally have only one experience with needing to use the warranty and it went smoothly. I’ve lost count how many people shared various stories about needing to use the warranty and the problems they had. Seriously. Thrunite a very different story. So far.
Thrunite!!
I concur.
*_So cool_
Thurnite got it beat it shines so much better it's a bigger hotspot you could actually see everything the o light is very narrow too narrow
I concur.
how long does the 1492 stay on before ramping down?
Infinity High (1482~909 lumens; 24 mins + 120 mins)
@@GearReviewDepot
also, what is best power bank setup for alot of these flashlights. does it also mater what cable you use?
looking for something that can take camping and will charge fast and many times.
@@tonydillinger2553 Lots of options, but I only use Anker batteries and cables.
Thrunite looks much more usable
I concur.
@@GearReviewDepot I have the original Catapult V6 and love it but one of my favorite lights is my old Thrunite TN40S. Its not convenient to carry around but love the beam pattern :)
But catapult pro turbo doesn't work. You can't tell the difference between high and turbo.
I can.
Get a better battery. The thrunite battery isn't the best imo. No turbo once battery gets down to 3.8v.
@@66marbor
I recently got Catapult pro and noticed it's the same as with my other Thrunite 26650 lights: that the battery needs to be pretty full charged to provide full turbo level.
Do you have any tip of higher current drain 26650 batteries?
@@patricj951 I haven't bought one yet but a better battery will get turbo going at lower volts. I used a astrolux 21700 28A at low v and it still provided the turbo. The battery thrunite includes is supposed to be 20A but it's sub par. I'd get one with 30A discharge or a good 20A like vapcell., lito Kala, shockli...There are others but off the top of my head I can't think....if it's good for a vape it'll be good for your pro. ✌️
"100 yods"? What's a yod?
Dude, no contest Thrunite beats the ever lovin heck out of Olight. Disregard the same Candela rate (more important than lumens), discount the longer run time of useful light on the Thrunite. Just consider that the Thrunite can be charged With Out proprietary cables, you can even take the standard Lion battery out of the flashlight and charge it in a stand alone charger. Why am I harping on that proprietary Olight battery? Because in my experience Olight proprietary do not last as long as quality standard Lion cells. Oh and your beam shots prove that the Thrunite is superior beam.
