What do you mean? Why doesn't it work? What was the reason surefire gave you?
i had the same problem. I spoke to the rep and they assure me that they are now sending out the newer production units. Been working great ever since.
I think using it as a illumination for video is probably not the best idea and that is why it failed? Would it be better off as a right angle hands-free flashlight? where you can clip to your belt, shirt, etc? Or let it stick to metal using a magnet/clip combo like under the hood?
It is a fail as an iphone6 attachment and light for video recording. But was wondering if it can be repurposed for a multi tool if there was an attachment and a magnet. Pic below came from another user here who 3d print it
