What is the right flashlight to buy for outdoor starry sky photography?The Olight diffuse is great
Men are always teenagers, and this saying is true.
Even when I'm 30+, I still dream of going on outdoor adventures every day, just like when I was a kid.
Although I don't have the opportunity to go out a few times a year, I still have a lot of outdoor photography equipment over the years.
At present, he is also a more professional landscape and starry sky photographer, and this set of equipment is more than 20kg when going out, which can resist about -10 outdoor environments.
But climbing a mountain on my back is really not easy, and I've been trying to figure out how to streamline my equipment.
Recently updated a Diffuse small flashlight of Aolei.,Lightweight it's really in place.,The function and performance are good.,It's a small and beautiful object.,Share it below.。
Since most of the time of the "stall" is at night, the flashlight is an indispensable equipment, and I have gradually improved from the beginning of various stalls to professional brands.
In terms of flashlights, Aolei is my favorite brand at present, and there are many professional-grade flashlights.
For example, baton3,baton3 is also their lightweight flashlight product,You can also share 16340 battery with my finger pen,And it comes with a charging case,A set down to fight for three or five days in a row is no problem,Perfectly solved my power anxiety。
Of course, a flashlight is obviously not enough, I still need a brighter and longer battery life, and Aolei also happened to update the lightweight 36V product diffuse, so the first time to start.
This time the diffuse I mainly fancy that it supports 1.0v~4.With a wide range of voltage of 2V, you can use conventional AA batteries and all kinds of 3The 6V 14505 battery is convenient to buy a new battery even if it is out of power.
The bunch of rechargeable batteries I saved for 2500mAh also came in handy, and the batteries could also power my equatorial mount, and I finally said goodbye to the various 18650 regiments in my hands.
The standard battery itself also has "black technology", with Type-C interface, support direct charging of power bank, just bring a power bank when you go out, which further streamlines the device.
Also, I found some using 3The professional test equipment of the 6V 14505 battery can also be shared with the 14500 of Aolei, which can meet the needs of this kind of professional instruments.
For users who want to find this kind of 14500 battery for professional instruments with C-port charging, it is better to apply for funds through the battery category, which belongs to buying batteries and sending flashlights.
In terms of appearance, the flashlight is a pentagonal prism design, made of A6061-T6 aluminum alloy, with oxidized surface treatment, solid and durable.
The metal shell has a nice texture in the hand.
The overall weight of the standard battery with battery is 575G, very lightweight, almost negligible for my dozens of kilograms of weight, you can cram it into any corner, even as an EDC equipment is very suitable.
There are a total of 5 gears of the flashlight, which are moonlight, low, medium, and high-brightness levels, plus flashing, switching gears by pressing and holding down, moonlight gears, and the brightness of the real high-end shooting is very high.
The brightness was tested at a distance of 1 m using the instrument.
Moonlight: 4 lux, low range: 34 lux, mid-range: 196 lux, high range: 1402 lux.
Each gear has a purpose, especially the moonlight gear I like very much, it is very important for outdoor photography, it can be used when shooting Hoshino and time-lapse, the ultra-low brightness will not illuminate the landscape and cause the picture to be destroyed, but also to meet the lighting needs of finding items, very good settings, it is highly recommended that star photography players use such a flashlight, everyone will use the moonlight gear after the unified use of each other will not have much impact on each other.
The mid-to-low night hike is sufficient, the high-end is slightly brighter, and my other instrument has exceeded the range when tested, 3The lights at 6V are really violent, can illuminate a large area, and are also very harsh.
I won't say much about the flash gear, it's a good self-defense function, and it's a must to drive away wild beasts in the wild.
The switch position of the flashlight also has a ring-shaped power indicator, which can intuitively understand the residual power. Power 60% -100%, in working condition, green light is always on;The power is 60% -15%, and the orange light is always on in working conditionThe power is 15% -0%, and the red light is always on in the working stateTake a look before you go out, you can effectively avoid the embarrassing situation of bringing a flashlight up the mountain.
In general, this Diffuse flashlight can well meet my needs for lightweight equipment, reduce the weight of travel, support a wide range of voltage is very friendly, do not pick the battery, support Type-C charging 14500 battery is a surprise, the versatility is very good, there will be no power anxiety. The design of the moonlight stall is simply for outdoor starry sky photography, ultra-low brightness will not affect starry sky shooting, and it will also be the patron saint in my photography bag in the future, friends who play outdoor photography can pay attention to it, I recommend this flashlight.
