Title: Video Review: Scorpion Hilt With Emerald and Obsidian V4 Sound
Post by: Zalbaag on April 29, 2016, 07:38:18 PM
Hi everybody,

This is my first Ultrasaber and my first review as well.  This review is a bit long, but is more like three reviews in one as it touches on the Scorpion hilt, the Emerald driver (at around 5:30), and the Obsidian V4 driver (at around 9:40).  I’m sure there is some room for improvement as this is my first review, so any tips would be appreciated.  The camera was a bit shaky (since I am holding it the whole time), so I used the stabilize feature this time around.  In the future I will rig something to hold the camera.

Initial Specs:
Scorpion with Sound (Emerald) [Blade LED Color:Blazing Red for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Dark Violet Amethyst for Emerald] (Adjusted flash on clash to an orange-red)
[Pulse Mode:Pulse to Pyrestone Orange]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Heavy Grade] (Blade used in video is Mid Grade)
[Scorpion Claw Option:With Claw]
[Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type (Momentary):White Illuminated Silver AV Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]

I love this saber and have already ordered more; I got a Dominix V4 grab bag saber in the mail recently, and put in an order for a Manticore CE with the most recent Spring Raffle.

A very thorough review with a lot of good info for anyone new to the custom lightsaber hobby . . . +1 :)  I too use fewer sound banks on my obs V4 boards I find I'm happy with having 3-4 and purchasing some extra font's is fun too, I've bought a few myself.  I LOVE the emerald driver it's just loads of fun as well - - and kudos for the double blade plug idea that's the first time I've seen that 8)

Thanks! I wouldn't normally worry about the double blade plugs, but the set of windows in the hilt kind of makes a single blade plug somewhat less useful.
