    The extra couple hundred lumens I could take or leave, but I got the 3 Pro specifically for the dial. If you don’t like it, just don’t use it… hit the button and it will go through low med high as usual. The dial is to get you brightness levels in between the set defaults, which I love.

    Great review! However, I also purchased a Seeker 3 Pro and the rotary dial on mine does not seem to be nearly as finicky as the rotary dial on your unit. Mine rotates smoothly up and down the brightness range, whereas yours seemed to work erratically. You might want to contact Olight, have them look at your video and have them tell you whether or not they think your Seeker 3 Pro’s rotary dial is defective.

    • @PreparedGuy
      @PreparedGuy  3 роки тому +2

      It very well could be defective, but on a positive note, after breaking in the dial its works a bit smoother. However when needing to use it in a fast manner it's still a bit stiff and takes more focus than should be normal. I'll keep everyone updated if it needs to be repaired. Otherwise I enjoy it minus the auto lock out. What's you're thoughts on the auto lock out? 🔐 😎👍

    The worst light I’ve seen for a while, does olight think customers are idiots, with proximity sensors and safety features, very complicated to use what’s wrong with keeping things simple, I don’t want to be fiddling with my flashlights when I’m in the dark, so rotary buttons are a waste of time. Especially if it operates like the video demonstrates. There are a lot of better lights available, probably at a cheaper price.

    Great review, thank you! I had the seeker 2 pro for two years and just got the new seeker 3 pro. In my opinion, the automatic lock feature is actually very useful atleast for me, I don't need to switch modes all the time, and I hate to manually lock the seeker 2 every time I put it back in my pocket. Seeker 2 has burnt two holes in my pocket because it accidentally turns on in my pocket, I don't see that happening with the Seeker 3 since it automatically locks. Seeker 3 unlock is pretty easy and quick compared to Seeker 2, which automatically open's the moon light after unlocking, then you need to hold the button to get your desired lumens. For seeker 3 you just slide the roll thingy and press the button, automatically have the latest used power output. Best regards. OC

    I'm wondering about Olights quality lately. Me and my pal both have a Warrior Mini 2 and both have a Freyr. Both our Warriors and Freyrs have a different beam colour and intensity -and yes we made sure they were fully charged before comparing. I'm giving Thrunite a try instead

    • @PreparedGuy
      @PreparedGuy  3 роки тому +5

      I totally agree. The quality control for the led tints are almost non existent. I've experienced the same thing with my warrior mini 2, I own 5 of them and none of them have the same color tint. A couple are close but the other 3 aren't even remotely consistent.

      @@PreparedGuy My friends Mini 2 has a mint, brilliant white beam. Mine has a yellowy beam with less throw. Mine also seems to get hotter faster.
      On the other hand my Freyr is practically a laser beam whereas my friends is simply passable. We live in UK. The Freyr retails for up to £130 -that's pounds not dollars. Right now with 'Brexit' and the economy being all crazy the exchange rate isnt what it should be. But in normal times £130 is like $180. If you are going to charge $180 for a torch at least use a freaking decent quality LED!

I'm not so bothered about the colour, but would it be likely to break down or malfunction? I could still send it back I guess, but if its just a colour issue I wouldn't bother.

    • @PreparedGuy
      @PreparedGuy  3 роки тому

      That's a good question. If you look closely at the led itself wheb the light is off and you can see darker yellowing near the outside or near the center anywhere on the bulb itself, I would send it back. It means that the led could be damaged. However if it is a consistant clear yellow throughout then it should be OK.

  • @scott231ci

    Sure wish I would have found your video before purchasing the Seeker 3 Pro. The spin dial is not very user friendly and is very clunky to use. Watching the manufacturer’s video certainly makes it seem a lot easier to use. It’s crazy after owning the light for several days I’m coming to YT watching videos to see if I’m using the dial switch correctly. 😢 I truly like their products, but this isn’t one of them due the spin dial.

    • @PreparedGuy
      @PreparedGuy  Рік тому +1

      Agreed. The new Marauder mini has a rotary dial and it's much more pronounced and easier to turn. I would highly recommend it over the seeker 3 pro. The seeker 2 pro is still one of my favorite lights. If the seeker 3 pro had a normal switch it would be the better light. It's just not intuitive enough for me. I don't wanna have to make sure I rotate the switch the right amount before it will turn on and I don't want to have to have it auto lock each time I stop using it for 30 seconds.

    Thanks for the review, I bought the orange version properly informed now (I was hesitant about the higher price, but the silicone grip was well spotted with regards to heat and I found a good discount cheaper than a 2 pro). Your rotation button is broken though, quick flick here to turn it on and instant response when dimming, not all related to my slightly more nimble guitar fingers. Lockout delay is a little poor design, two flicks rotating to the left could have been a cool feature/enhancement to lock it. Overall I like it, need to use it a bit more but I much prefer it over my two Fenix and my Ledlenser lights. Only real pet peeve for me is the lack of a safety strap, fortunately it is so much better I just took one from a PD30 Fenix light, but for the price I would have expected a good strap with it.

I'm general the dial is crap anyway, slow to react, you can't turn it fast or it wontb register anything (i think this is part of the 'finnicky' you mention because you're turning it at a reasonable speed.. try turning it stupidly slow and it always seems to work)

If you read it then like the comment so that more people can see it, and more people have at least one opportunity, because accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is the most important decision that you will ever make.

      Jesus was born. He did at least one thing we couldn’t do (without Him) as a child. He grew up, got disciples, then did some more stuff we couldn’t do (without Him). He eventually got betrayed by one of His disciples, and He knew that He was gonna be betrayed, and then He got captured, and died for our sins on the cross. He came from Heaven to earth knowing He was gonna die. He did it knowing it was for our sins though, doing it because He loves us. Then He died on the cross for our sins, not so we could keep sinning but so we could stop and be forgiven. He rose from that grave on the third day, defeating death and someday He’s gonna come back and defeat the devil. Romans 9:10 “If you declare with your mouth ’Jesus is Lord’ and believe with your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Ephesians 2:8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” 1 Timothy 2:5-7 “For there is one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ; who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

    I like honest reviews and your honest thoughts. Maybe olight won't like your honest thoughts as you never get honest reviews on olight flashlights.
    Must be honest and say dial looks OK and beam shots against seeker 2 pro as I thought seeker 2 is just as bright. I own seeker 2 pro and I must say is it worth upgrading to seeker 3 pro if you own seeker 2 pro?
    Thanks for your honest review!

    • @PreparedGuy
      @PreparedGuy  2 роки тому +1

      Honestly the extra lumens help slightly. It has slightly better runtimes than the seeker 2 but I truly like the seeker 2 as a stable for the seeker series. The seeker 3 is really nice but it all comes down to preference. I don't particularly like having to unlock the light constantly because it has the auto lock out. The dial is finicky when you're in a rush to use it. All in all I wish they just added more lumens to the seeker 2 and called it a seeker 3. The proximity sensor is a good feature and I like that it has an override feature to turn the sensor off. But the seeker 2 just feels like a safer bet in a stressful situation. If your just goofing around camping and there is not emergency I would choose the seeker 3 as it is safer to use over all but if you're mindful of your gear and don't need an auto lock or a proximity sensor then the seeker 2 is more than sufficient. go by your needs. My opinion might help but at the end of the day your needs mater more than anything. I like them both so I bought both but if I had to really choose which one I was going to be stuck in the woods with it would be the seeker 2.
