Title: Spinning the Guardian
Post by: Scoimpious on February 15, 2016, 05:18:01 AM
A quick video of my son spinning my new Guardian.

The YouTube video actually doesn't do him justice.  Looks faster and cooler both in person and on my iPhone.

I figured out how to upload it in 60fps, so here's a better quality link:

Mad skills :P Figured the Guardian would be too big of a hilt to spin but he's about my height it seems so

He's way better than me.  He's just a bit over 6'.  And still growing.  He's gonna be a tall guy.

It's an Emerald in RGBW, but the W channel is dedicated to the illuminated AV switch.  The color in the video is Arctic Blue (cyan) which is 100% B and 100% G, pulsing to 87% of each on a .1 second frequency (.1 seconds at 87%, .1 seconds at 100%).

Was wondering because it wasn't giving off as much light as I thought it would but must just the surrounding and video.

I think it's the auto-exposure of the quick and dirty iPhone video, not the blade.

Idk why the guardians got such a bad rep as being hard to spin.  It's become my go to saber for spinning.  Anyway, awesome job.  Nice speed.
