@@sx20Ramar Arkfield pro is dope but lacks the red light I use to navigate to the bathroom at night and any 90° or side light when clipped on a shirt collar or jacket front pocket
I have the light and while an additional laser would be very cool, it's an awesome light without it, due to all the other features. (I've disabled the proximity sensor on favour of using lockout instead).
One of my buddy’s have this light and he loves it. He is in Law Enforcement and works overnights. The red light he says, works amazing, and works great when clipped into his Molle vest. He said he also gets loads of compliments from the other guys asking about where he got such a slim flashlight with so much power, which matters a lot when you care about the space you have on your vest
I got one of these and I just love how complex this light is! Took me a month to figure out how to turn off the proximity sensor and back... Very usable, very EDC. I think for a backup or as a secondary light always at hand it is terrific! Also I went with a backpack the light attached to the strap. I used the red sidelight to illuminate the road ahead. Very convenient!!!
This proximity sensor is actually a good idea for a flashlight for survival or for work where you need to look at the instructions etc. We shine into the distance and in a moment I look at the map or instructions and there are 10lm. Actually it's a good idea. It's nice that you can also turn off the proximity sensor.
It’s a little much don’t you think? I’ve never seen a sensor that activates from so far away. Yes it’s a good idea to have a sensor that can be turned off but I think it’s too sensitive. 👍🏻
Ravyvon brand lost me a while ago. I listen to the vids but i bought one that was all metal A33 and it broke from a 1 ft fall. I have olights sofrins and streamlights ive dropped from on top of the fridge that still run
I got the e30 without sidelights and I loved it practicality. When the pro came out, I got one and I love it. The only con is that it doesn’t have dual fuel like e30.
I tested mine in the water. Was swimming with the light in my pocket for ~10-15 minutes. The light was never deeper than ~1m. When I got out, you could see water behind the sidelight and main light lenses. I would not count on this being IPX8. Water resistant probably, and maybe could survive a quick drop in the pool or a lake, but I wouldn't depend on this light being IPX8.
Looks pretty cool, but there does seem to be a lot going on which can make it hard to remember the ui. The ui is similar to the E5 angel eyes. I do get confused with the single click to eco. Thanks for the review!
I am a Rovyvan fan (have 4 ) but this one I gave away, still have the dual battery, but never use it.. This one has to many features / options that you need to remember and are different from other Rovyvons. Crazy light.
I have the Nitecore version now. I use it far far more indoors than outdoors. I like the proximity sensor and often would have liked the one on the Nitecore to be more sensitive. I am going to buy one of these RovyVon E30 Pro's and see if its better for me than the Nitecore.
I just got the edc27 uhi about 3 weeks ago and I love it! This E30 Pro looks pretty cool too but the double click to regular mode would be why I keep my edc 27 uhi over it. Nice informative video though.
They might as well have just made one of these but clear like they’re smaller lights and also give it a laser and have everything in one such as all the side emitters, including a UV and a warm emitter and a red and they might as well throw some RGB in there as well. Just make it a light that has everything, so if you just wanna go crazy and show off a light and have fun with it. It doesn’t have to be some like super Duper tactical and every kind of thing it can just kind of be a crazy fun light that does literally everything. So it wouldn’t be for like police officers or something like that but just for a flashlight enthusiast that wants to have a crazy light that literally does everything. No one’s done a clear glow changeable battery as well as an onboard rechargeable battery such as the previous version that literally does everything including what smaller glow-in-the-dark lights do.
I love your videos but I strongly disagree with your conclusion on this one. If you're used to the usual rovyvon UI then this is actually quite intuitive with only a couple of additional steps. Ultimately, we can't eat our cake and have it too - if we want this many functions in a single flashlight, you need the same buttons to perform several functions. It's either that or people would complain about there being too many buttons. So you have to either accept reduced functionality/led options or master a slightly more complicated UI. I have a LOT of flashlights and it is easy to forget which UI does what as I rotate flashlights, but as someone with several lights from rovyvon, I find this E30 pro quite easy to use. The other thing to consider is that most people looking for a multifunction light are not collectors or at least aren't rotating dozens of lights, so won't be so phased by learning the UI to operate it. And the functionality, well.... I don't believe there's a flashlight light that does as much as this does aswell as it does it, in terms of combining EDC and tactical functionality. If that means a slight learning curve to master the UI then I'm ok with that age I think most people would be. I got out for £52 in a rovyvon website sale and compared to the nitecore etc equivalents, it blows them away at that price. The functions, lumens, battery capacity and just how it feels in the hand (I have the marble version, very premium feel). Out of 100 or so different lights that I own, this is the closest to "one light light to rule them all" that I've found so far. There will never be a flashlight that is perfect for all purposes, but this gets pretty damn close in several categories imho. Keep up with the great reviews. 👍
That’s the thing. I don’t want that many functions in a flashlight. I’ll gladly carry 2 when I need different functions that would perform better than an all in 1. That opinion could change, but as of now I want an EDC floor, and a separate TAC thrower.
@@ChrispyThings I hear you but with this light you're getting all the edc functionality while still having an easily accessible Tac mode. I agree it lacks throw for searching at distance though and if I was heading out walking at night I'd want a thrower too. But for 90% of use cases, including self defense, this light covers everything you'd ever need. And I value having all that in a single, light, compact form that's easily kept on me all day. More practical than carrying two lights and it frees up a pocket for other things. FWIW, if I was to carry two it would be the E30 pro and a warrior x4, though the javelot turbo might replace that, just because it's so compact. I think once someone was used to the UI, this would become their go-to (as has happened with me), especially if they value red light at night, which is partly why it ticks so many boxes for me.
I got one of those and after I received it, I was kind of wondering why I bought it because I bought the one with the warm lights on the side instead of the different colored lights and then I was kicking myself because why did I do that because it’s basically like having the same thing in two spots
I have the nitecore edc27 and the 3000 turbo is a gimmick. The battery has to be fully charged for it to come on and if you use it at all and the battery is at say 90% turbo works for about a second or two before it shuts off. I don't know why they even added it to the flashlight. It only works if the battery is at 100%.
This is by far the best performing, most useful flashlight I've ever owned by a mile. Maybe a country mile. Nitecore can take their shit version and jam it
@@ChrispyThings agreed. Do they have a version with a neutral white primary LED? Cool white is always underwhelming to me in terms of color rendering and bounce back, even if it is more efficient.

If Rovyvon got rid of the proximity sensor and replaced it with a green laser and added a magnet to the clip, this would be an insta-buy from me.
Sounds like the olight one
@@bobone866 yeah but this has the side lights and rear thumb switches which I prefer.
Olight Arkfeld Pro has 1300 lumen light, class3r laser, and strong UV light. My favorite right now! Oh, and it has lifetime warranty on every part.

I now prefer double press to high mode after burning my pocket with an EDC27. Got used to it pretty quick, don't even think about it now
Good point

Put the light clip on and you can clip it on yourself, backpack and use the side-lights to illuminate things.

That would be a thicken
@@GBall_Vision I have durable pockets. Id buy of fosho
Looks better than the edc29...
Warm white is 4500 K?
Eh I’d say “warmer”
3200K is tungsten.
5600K is daylight.
So 4500K is more of a neutral white
@@ChrispyThings agreed. Do they have a version with a neutral white primary LED? Cool white is always underwhelming to me in terms of color rendering and bounce back, even if it is more efficient.
These side LEDs stick out like smartphone cameras. I don't like it.
It's a modded nitecore edc 25😂
You can definitely make that argument.
Don't know where you are but i thought i was hearing raccoons. Maybe that's what those eyes were?
I’m in NY and it was a deer. There are a lot of raccoons here too
Better than nitecore edc27😮
No way😂
