What owners report
Emisar D1
- ✓Genuine pocket-sized throw for spotting things at distance
- ✓Unusually even hotspot all the way across
- ✓Better balanced in hand and pocket than the D4, per owners
- ✓Anduril with Hank's emitter menu
- ✓Reasonably priced for a configure-to-order light
- ✗Poor for walking — a tight distant hotspot doesn't light a path
- ✗The head is big enough to ride awkwardly in a pocket
- ✗Anodising colour can mismatch between head, body and tail
- ✗Anduril takes learning
- ✗No onboard charging
