Hey everyone,

Do you have any recommendations for pocket throwers? I have a D1 and recently got a Sofirn IF19, but was wondering about some other pocket sized throwers.

I know of the GT Nano and what ever Thrunight's version is called. Any others?

I recently got the Wurkkos TS11, its a great little thrower, and beautiful in orange. The spot is just right, not too narrow, and a little bit of useful spill around it too. While the battery it comes with is OK, it is noticeably more powerful when I use it with the 18650 extension tube and a 2500mAh 18A capable battery. I might get a more powerful 18350 for it when I order batteries next time.

Do you happen to know the throw? I've heard this light mentioned around, seems like a good light to pick up

I just saw there is a 14500 TS12 now. So tiny! I'd love it if it had Anduril. Maybe they'll release a Pro someday, then I'll probably grab it.

Throw on the TS11 is about 600m according to the website if I remember correctly. I'd say that's possible with high drain batteries, with the included one it's less, maybe 500m?

That's really good throw for that size. I may have to pick it up!

Edit: Picked it up
