| | | Posted by Trackrunner Yes, most things bought by the majority (I'm looking at you, beats) suck, but there can be exceptions, yes?
| Nope, not really. Cuz people in general are sheep and they'll purchase whatever is cheap. Then they'll fool themselves into how great it is, so they don't have to actually say that they wasted money on a piece of crap. Most people will vehemently exalt the praises of crap, rather than admit that they aren't so happy with it, or that it's junk. Also, you need to re-frame your ideas about your personal safety when in underground environments as far as what you trust to light your way, and what a sufficient "back-up" ligth is. What happens when the cheap junk you bought breaks/malfunctions/dies, and you switch to your stick'n'click and as you're feebly trying to find your way along you trip and then smack it (and your camera) inthe the ground or a wall and break them both, then have no light at all? C'mon. I mean you could do worlds better with even a $20 light. I never go underground without 3 lights.

I GUESS that's possible, although my video camera is meant to be durable, as well as waterproof, so that probably wouldn't happen. And you're right, I probably should still hang on to my old energizer, that way I'll have 3 lights. Really the only reason I don't want to spend money on a light is because I don't get to do UE as much as I would like to, so the money would be better spent on something that I use more actively in my life.
