APUTURE I HOPE YOU SEE THIS!! WE NEED A TINY COB LIGHT LIKE THE AMARAN 60D BUT CAPABLE OF RUNNING OFF A POWER BANK VIA USB-C!!! WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER

[@williamdemattos]

Wow!!!! this blue cap is a rarity!! It's the bank that sponsored Airton Senna in F1 and hasn't been found since 94!! impressive!
congratulations! You are wearing the cap of the best F1 driver of all time!

[@kazuokuda3410]
