Best Pocket Throwers? (lemmy.world)

Hey everyone,

Do you have any recommendations for pocket throwers? I have a D1 and recently got a Sofirn IF19, but was wondering about some other pocket sized throwers.

I know of the GT Nano and what ever Thrunight's version is called. Any others?

How about Mankerlight MC13 II with SBT90.2 ($110 USD) emitter or sft40 ($65)?

http://mankerlight.com/mankerlight-mc13-ii-90-2/

It’s a larger 18350 light that twists open to 18650. The TIR is similar to Thrunite Catapult v1 and possibly Wurkkos ts11.

A 21700 tube was also released as part of a bundle or here: https://www.killzoneflashlights.com/products/manker-21700-tube-for-mc13-ii-e14-iv.

I don’t have this light but it seems like OK value for the higher price (for very short bursts of throw, not sustained).

I also still like the older Thrunite catapult v1 which preceded Wurkkos’s ts11. It has reasonable output and good runtime for its size, but ts11 can be found for cheaper and has anduril and aux with a possibly slightly worse driver.

That looks really good. Like a shorter MC12 II. I know Manker makes some good lights. I hope to one day get that sweet MK38!
