Just got my EH and its beautiful!  I think I understand why they offer the activation box as angled vs squared.  This squared version doesn't have rounded corners like the Graflex or the Malice.  It digs a bit into the palm of your hand to be candid.  Food for thought.



I also played around w the MHS and swapped a few emitters.  These were what I thought were interesting.

Very nice. I especially like the Malice emitter on there.

Point to you

Hey, Kai-Yen, congrats on your new EH. Just got mine as well, and I completely agree, it's b-eau-ti-ful!  Grin  Great pictures, and thanks for sharing your insight on that. This is very useful info for anyone trying to make a decision with parts, especially with the activation box. I know I did, switching back and forth between pictures of both types, for hours, trying to decide. I didn't think too much about the comfort level as much as the look I wanted when I ordered mine, but I mention in my video review on it how the contour of the angled activation box definitely contributes to a comfortable grip. It's difficult to gauge the size of the activation box, sometimes, too. I hope the box isn't a huge negative for you, though, because it does look pretty nice, especially with the yellow illuminated silver AV switch on it. That's a really nice choice there.

I also played around w the MHS and swapped a few emitters.  These were what I thought were interesting.




Like Taegin this one is my favorite MHS mashup as well. The blades of the Malice emitter combined with the black screws on the handle, it all just works really well.  Don't have a Malice myself yet, but I keep taking 2nd, 3rd and 4th looks at it for a possible next purchase.

Point for the honest opinion and great photo gallery of your new saber.

Nice pics LB. Quick question, did you take those shots on your phone or did you use an actual camera?

Thanks very much, Knox. All my pics are taken with my phone, an iPhone 6S Plus - soon to be replaced by the iPhone 7S this Fall (yippee, lookin' forward to it because it can handle darker lit environments so much better with the dual aperture), but that's off topic so I'll leave it at that.  Wink

DKnox - just my crappy iPhone camera but the lightening was decent in the room given I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area so it's only like 3:30pm PST out here when I took the pics!

There isn't a macro setting on the iPhone, but to get sharper closeups, I use the AE/AF lock, ample background light and I try to keep the background simple.

Those are really good shots for no macro setting.

Why thank you, sir.  Cheesy  All the controls are retrieved by tapping on the screen, including the AE/AF lock, so I guess you could say the AE/AF lock IS the macro setting on the iPhone. It locks your focus on the item in the frame of the onscreen grid, which is nice, because otherwise it will occasionally try to snap its focus back from your macro image to whatever else is in frame.

I don't have an iphone. I have an HTC and will soon be getting a samsung. My HTC does have a macro setting though, and I've been experimenting recently with the settings and low light features, practising, for the time of the gathering, when those of us who are left will feel an irresistible pull towards a far away land, to fight for The Prize......sorry. Went off track there for a second.

GREAT share, Kai-Yen with some beautiful pics!

I also appreciate the input on the square activation box - thats the style I'm sold on and would choose.

The Archon emitter looks pretty shmexy as well Cool  

Love the yellow blade and AV switch it's perfect for the EH.

Points to you +1
