Hey HistoryChannel, I'd sure like to see some bigger versions of those panoramas you teased us with above.
On the subject of the NAO I haven't been able to test mine out that much so far since I only recently got one but I'm pretty impressed. I think it's quite neat how the two LEDs can combine their power in different amounts, almost creating the appearance of a single beam that has some focusability.
One thing I will note is that the NAO seems a little confused in Reactive mode in winter when you breathe out and it sees the condensation in your breath, as the puffs of condensation temporarily increase the light reflected back to the sensor.
I'm really looking forward to Petzl's next generation of reactive headlamp, the Tikka RXP, which will be more compact and hopefully a sorts of NAO 2.0.
Hi carrot,
I do have the full versions of the pano pics, dozens actually. But they are 18-20 megapixels and huge files. I used my iPhone with the native pano feature. I can try and post thumbnails linking to full versions.
And I did include in my review also that the Nao does react to breath fog, also in dense natural fog, smoke from fire (campfire, etc). Basically anything that can reflect light and confuse the lamp.
I wrote to Petzl to voice my concern with their choice of battery implementation. That they need to be end user friendly and allow a drop in battery system. If their OEM battery that came with the unit goes bad, we have to buy the whole pack for $50 and basically have a useless original pack.
I got a generic response that batteries by itself are not available and we have to buy the battery and pack together. Insane when quality 18650 batteries are available for less than $20.
