Howdy folks, figured I'd drop a few lines with one guys thoughts on the MI-6 PP.
Ok, so far, like it lots. Its my new goto.
The one thing I don't like, is where the On/Off button is... me being mostly a night hunter... I do find myself hunting the button from time to time lol. Maybe over more time this will no longer be a thing.
Otherwise, for me anyways, I really like this so far... used with the XP Deus, and sensitivity set to 45, it does reach a bit further than the Carrot. Not quite as far as the TRX. Which for me is exactly what I was looking for (I know everyone is different, which is cool, this is just regarding what I like in this case).... something that would reach a bit further than my Carrot, and still have the 360 abilities... this does.
I think the reach is similar to the carrot when used as a standalone PP.
I "like" the TRX, but a bit "too" sensitive for me anyways, plus I really like the 360 abilities... its what I'm used to I guess. My TRX is a loaner... again not knocking it (its quite sensitive)... just not for my style of hunting.
Back to the MI-6, used with the XP Deus, I just enjoy the heck out of it... for me, perfect reach/sensitivity at 45... I also like it can be recharged and that that time between charges is pretty much up there.... have not tested that yet, but they claim up to 90 hrs. I think if connected to DEUS and perhaps LED turned off. Heck if they even get close to that, thats pretty good.
Seems to be built solid, and "about" same size as Carrot... fits nicely in my B2 holder as did the carrot.
One thing I really like is running it in Pitch mode... it seems I am on target with just somewhat better accuracy... coincidence or not... for me thats just the case. The carrot etc are great Pinpointers, but for me and used with the DEUS... this hits the nail on the head. I really like it.
the Pitch sound (you can go to the normal beeps if u want, easy to configure) for me, did take some getting used to... but that took no time at all. Just really like the way it sounds off when u are truly the closest to the object.
Bottom line, glad i picked one up, will be my new go to now, especially when used with the DEUS.
Oh yeah, the LED could be a "Tad" brighter... don't get me wrong, its fine the way it is... but, IMO its just a notch dimmer than the carrot. Still fine though.
Summary:
2 Cons : LED Could be brighter
On/Off button could be easier to get at, when doing so by feel
in the dark
Pros :
When paired with DEUS, mine reached further than carrot
Like can recharge and how long a charge should last
Like the Pitch, puts me on target with more accuracy (smaller holes)
Like how it quiets the XP DEUS when its turned on.
Switching between DEUS and PP is quick and vice versa
There are of course all the other features, similar to other higher end
pin pointers (for lack of a better term, lol).... I won't go into them as most know what they are... can use in water (to a certain depth), can search for it if lost, can adjust sensitivity etc...
So, just wanted to weigh in on my thoughts about the MI-6, take em with a grain of salt, just one guys opinion. Lol
Happy Hunting Ya'll!
