I was a big lurker of /r/flashlight a few years back. Later, on a whim, I bought a Thrunite Catapult V6 cause of an Amazon ad. Never really went back to check people's thoughts on it though -- how is it as a midrange throw light? Is it still competitive in 2023?
I just got the catapult pro for father's day. More lumens and throw, boost driver, SFT70, a full 9 minute turbo (it gets hot but it runs), and a head that doesn't roll off the table. All around prefer it the v6, it's worth the extra 20 bucks.
