Thank you for the practical review of this headlamp, Mattias. I liked the way you presented the beam shots from the wearer’s perspective as well as looking at the wearer from a distance. It seems to me that this headlamp strikes a good balance between floodiness and distance. I particularly liked the capability to change the intensity of the red light. The power source is well thought out with either the rechargable or easily available AAA batteries. The construction seems sturdy, however time will tell as to durability. Thank you again.
Thanks for taking time with this feedback Harry! Yes the functions and quality is what makes this headlamp. I have used it everyday in 3 months and i looks and works as new. Time will tell but it seems rock solid.
These are the videos I’m looking for! Good honest reviews… from people that actually use the product. Most reviews are TOP 10 BEST… which is some person that looks at the top 10 best rated/selling Amazon products and just puts their affiliate link so they can make money. Great job Sir… you earned a like the good old fashion way 👍
Ooh thanks Greg, much appreciated. This is one of my favorite equipment. Use it alot and without doubt the best head lamp i've ever had. But my experience has been with these headlamps you buy at a gas station. This is something else. Super robust and have never let me down.
I use the Petzl Actik Core since 9 months and I'm super happy with it. Once you have selected 1 out 3 different strong white light beams, the next button press switches them off. I didn't discovered the red light for 8 months until I gave my Petzl to a friend.
They seems popular as well. A good headlamp is a must i've learnt 😁👌.
Thanks for the video, nice review.👍
Thanks Joones 👌
One of the best review! Thank you!!!!
Ohh thanks! Much appreciated. I still use this headlamp as a daily tool. Best everyday item together with a swiss army knife 🙌👌. Yhe recharge battery holds up great. I still just charge it every 2 weeks or once in a month.
@@BraapncampPlease tell me if the flashlight has a constant light mode (like some Petzl flashlights) or the flashlight works in normal mode (with a smooth decrease in light)?
All three modes has dimmer function. All three modes could be used separately as normal, in boost highbeam the mid smoth light and the longrange highbeam work together.
Review well done! Thanks a bunch.
Thanks! Happy that you appreciate this.
Very nice and handy. Have a blessed New Year with your family if I hadn't said already. Thank for sharing. 😊
Thanks buddy! We wish you and yours a great 2021.
@@Braapncamp Pleasure. Thank you.
Great video thanks!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Great review very well done.
Thanks! 🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥
i wish to take my headlamp into the highlands of sweden and finland as well hopefully soon brother thank you for the video
Thanks! Happy trails and be ready gor your adventure 👌🙌
I had the litle brother for some years now. Black diamond makes realy good headlamps! It is ambsolutely essential equipment to bring when you camp and do activities here in Norway (in my opinion) alot of people underrastemate the value of such a device! Thank you for this review tjommi. I am looking for something a little bit brighter when i upgrade! To supplement when i’m out skiing! The one i have is more than enough for all the other stuff i do! I think it is 300lumens or something. Cheers 🔥
Thanks Thomas! I agree, a headlamp is essential everywhere. Up here in the north at the darker patches of year. But I was surprised when we were at the Mediterranean coast and has to use the headlamp when making bbq dinner for the family at the evenings 😂. It was summer. Have had numerous of cheap ones before, but this is something else, instead of the cold blueish LED color cheap ones often have. This has a warm color in the wide spread mode. The special lense does a good job on high beam for a 350 lumen lamp. I have used it more or less every day since I bought it, only recharge it every 2-3 weeks. Have You got any package yet? 😁
@@Braapncamp yeah, i like the warm light as well, about 6000 is good. Does it has a stepdown function!? I see some brands has a automatic dim down thing that makes the headlamp reduce the light gradualy over time! That is F ing anoying....! I dont have that on my black diamond now! I’m at work today, so i have not checked my mailbox! Maybe there is something for me tomorrow 😂 i got my new axe today, will pick that up tomorrow morning 🤩🤩
A new axe is always good! No it has no auto dim, you dim it manually and thats great. Watch out for yhe Julenisse on wheels! 😁
@@Braapncamp more important is have you got your presant from the viking Santa? 😂🔥
Yes! From a viking to another viking 💪...and tomorrow is the ultimate "pop a cork day"! 😁👌
Nice review!
Thanks! 💡🙌
Very cool lamp...
Yes indeed, like it alot over the cheap ones I got before.
@@Braapncamp
I still have cheap ones.
My girls took the good ones.
🇺🇸🥴
😂😂 not surprised!
Just got a new Spot after using a Storm for many years. I find the on/off control button on the Spot to be a little too awkward to use. You have to press in just the right place with the button area to get the light to come on. It could be a little easier to get to turn on and off with a different design, maybe raised up a bit.
Good input!
Thank you for the video! Is the Revolt still going? I've read it many times that the battery compartment is easy to break, which is why I'm afraid to buy it. Do you find it easy to open, or is it something that need to be forced?
It is definitely still going strong! A friend of mine broke his battery cover, first time trying it. Have not had the problem, installed the battery initially and have opened it a couple of times. Normally I do not open the battery cover since You do not need that to charge the battery. I use this head lamp more or less every day. No degration of the battery either, works as new. Thanks and happy trails!
Hey Mattias, I'd like to ask about the rechargeable battery - I understand it is included. But do you have to buy the battery charger separately?
No, You charge it with a USB micro. The cable is included as i remember. I always use the rechargeable battery. Never tried it with AAA's. It holds very long with the rechargeable battery. I charge it wintertime once every 2 weeks. Walk with the dog everyday. Best headlamp i've ever had for multi purpose
@@Braapncamp Thank you for your reply. That's impressive lifetime indeed. I think you just helped me to decide between this and the Storm model.
@@cuirka rechargeable every day 👌. Wold not look back to change batterys.
I'm thinking of buying the BD1800 batteries for this, but to use in Petzl headlamps. Do you know if the rechargeable pack is interchangeable with the Petzl core battery, and their headlamps which take the core, or 3x AAA batteries? Thanks.
Hi, i have no idea if it it is interchangeable. Might be since they both fit a 3XAAA battery compartment. Never thought of it. I still use this headlamp every day bicycling to work, recharge it once every two weeks and no sign of the batteries getting tired.
@@Braapncamp Thank you. The BD pack looks slightly thicker than the Core. If I find answer, I'll update. Cheers.
Thanks for the review! Do you have any idea how long the rechargeable battery lasts in real life with the light on high, or light all the way on low? How about approx recharge time? Thanks again.
8 hours on highbeam and approx 200h on low to mid. I recharge it every two weeks or so. It takes some time to charge, not meassured but a couple of h. The rechargeable battery is replaceable and an extra could easily be purchased at BD. The battery compartment takes 3 AAA batterys as well if needed. Thanks for commenting. F5irehose on Advrider.com these days? 😂 Best TV and forum time of the year with Dakar. 👌
@@Braapncamp That's impressive! I will have to look at one of these. I have a mini Petzel and it's a good unit and very compact but battery life is short and that's annoying.
I'm impressed as well. But have only had those gas station type ogmf headlamps before. I use it every day since the dogwalks is my duty and pleasure.
@@Braapncamp Everywhere I have looked says around 1 hour on high beam? Which years model are you using? 8 hours using the rechargable batt? Does it drop off in brightness pretty quick?
@@djmoases Ok, thats interesting. I've never measured and that is whats counts. I read 8h onn high and 200h on low for the rechargeable battery. But i can charge it and let it sit and meassure time. I use it every day at dogwalks and only recharge it every second week so i would asume that it is significantly more than 1h on high beam. I will get back! /Mattias
Fan Mattias börjar bli dyrt att titta på dina videos köpte ju en Amok XL i våras och nu va jag tvungen att beställa en sån här för just att den hade red light
😂😂 har hört den förr 🙈, men bra grejer är bra grejer.
Is there a way to just turn on the red light with out scrolling through the white light?
It always starts on the setting you left it. So prepare it before darkness with redlight setting. 👌
@@Braapncamp Thank you!
Bought so many rubbish headlamps that never last. Time for something more decent like this.
Would prefer a triple headstrap through
Same for me, this is truly something else than all the cheap gas station type of headlamps I've owned. This headstrap has never failed in position during these 3 months and I have used it every day. If running is the main use I agree. I know that BD also have those straps on some models.
The red light is to preserve night vision.
Yes, maybe i didn't express myself correct. But thats the main reason except to be able to see. Great with dimmer at the red light as well. Lowest setting is really night vision preserving.
@@Braapncamp no worries my friend. I have a cheap LED headlight that has served me well, might replace with this one tho.
I have a bunch of gas station headlamps as well. But now they are stored in different strategic places for "emergency" 😂.
The red lights do not attract as many bugs in your face too. The white lights are horrible where I live in warm months due to that alone.
Thanks for this comment and insight, never tried that. I will have moments to try this, believe me 😂.
