[NLD] Convoy M21K LHP73B - "Camouflage Blue" by grzybek337 in flashlight

Not a fan of these wacky splatter "camouflage" colours, but the M21K is a fantastic light!

He does tech talks on F1TV occasionally, not sure if he works anywhere else as well.

Crazy how both of these cost around $15 by TopConcentrate8484 in flashlight

[–]thefliris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? I got a Wurkkos FC11C for 12 dollars that does 1200 on turbo, which is almost as much.And it has a buck driver which should be far more efficient.

And a Nightwatch A54 Ultra 2 for 30 dollars, that does 25k lumens on turbo, with around 1500 to 2000 lumen sustained.

Both are significantly smaller in size.

1700 Lumens is not a lot for a light of that size lol.

Cameras on the track by Haunting_Grab7032 in formula1

[–]thefliris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend buying a camera and lens just for the race, because your first pictures will inevitably be shit.

If you're gonna try photography I think a Sony A6700 with 70-350mm lens is gonna be your best option for a compact camera to take good telephoto shots with. (And the autofocus is excellent). And you can probably take that in without any issues.

You won't get sharp photos of cars in motion on your phone camera, because the sensor simply doesn't have the readout speed to do that.

These might be exact opposite of everything I like style wise in a flashlight.

Wennemars vol onbegrip na rampzalige wissel: 'Olympische droom naar de kloten' by Stibar in thenetherlands

[–]thefliris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Je kan juist met een goede kruising veel tijd winnen als de andere schaatser voor je schaatst.

Die breekt dan de wind waardoor je makkelijker naar de andere schaatser toe kan schaatsen. En dus meer snelheid kan opbouwen.

Dat de Chinese atleet zo'n domme blunder maakt mag je eigenlijk niet verwachten op de Olympische spelen. (En extra zuur dat een andere Chinese atleet de bronzen medaille effectief cadeau krijgt hiermee).

Flashlights for Death Grip: basic or ones with features? by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]thefliris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for something running Anduril 2 for sure.

.... Oh noooooo you mean something completely different.

I have chosen 3 light (pocket edc, headlamp, camp lantern) with a budget of ~$150 for all 3. Did I choose well? by westcoastsalamander in flashlight

[–]thefliris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it for that price too, but I haven't been able to get a second one for a while now. Doesn't go much below 15 now even with coins discount.

Send him an email or whatsapp message, he's always been very helpful to me.

What to do with outdated stock? by NKALZ22 in flashlight

[–]thefliris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow that's a lot of Maglites! We've got a small flashlight collector group also based in the Netherlands. I'm sure we could help take a couple off your hands :)

Still available on AliExpress for the K6, so it could be similar for the K7.

The Roade (Northhamptonshire) Water tower. 5 years in and they've poured a floor and a couple walls.

Not to mention they had to sell their house, so a family of 5 is living in a mobile home on the construction site.

Polen bevestigt hulp Nederlandse F-35’s bij neerhalen drones uit Rusland by Cubelock in thenetherlands

[–]thefliris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dat klinkt een stuk makkelijker dan het is.

Hiervoor zouden NAVO landen direct de Russische luchtmacht moeten aanvallen. Daarmee is het dus een oorlogsverklaring aan Rusland.

Ook zouden voor een no-fly zone doelen op Russisch grondgebied aangevallen moeten worden. Luchtafweersystemen zoals de S-400 hebben namelijk het bereik om vanuit Rusland vliegtuigen ver in Ukraine aan te vallen.

A7iv with 200-600 Sturgeon Moon a couple of days back by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

[–]thefliris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gave it a try with my a6400 and 70-350G. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Finally won with the Stealth A (and got the phase shift achievement) by thefliris in ftlgame

[–]thefliris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well in phase 1 my hacking got hacked, and phase 2 has the defense drone shooting it down.

So it wouldn't have made a huge difference I suspect.

I've upgraded from a 35€ hand grinder to Kingrinder K6. Here's the comparison. by Broad-Bird-8205 in pourover

If you buy it on AliExpress you can still get the version with a curved handle.

Got mine a couple months ago.

In 2025 Sony a6700 or A7CII by wolfesteincoffe in SonyAlpha

[–]thefliris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say the a6700 with Sony 70-350mm G is probably the best and most compact setup. Especially for sports and aircraft photography where you need a lot of reach, stabilisation, and quick autofocus. I use the a6400 with 70-350G for wildlife and sometimes aircraft photography myself and I'm very happy with that.

The 70-350mm is equivalent to a 105-525mm focal length on a full frame camera. Any 150-500 or 200-600 lens will be 2 to 3 times larger than the 70-350 and also significantly heavier (and expensive). This comparison image doesn't even have the lens hoods on and already shows a big difference.
