Having used a Petzl Zoom for years, I've recently switched over to the new Black Diamond range. I've found that the new BD Spaceshot(??) is excellent and, overall, better than the old Petzl. The BD is lighter, similar in price, better on batteries and doesn't have any moving parts. The big problem with the Petzl Zoom is that the 'zoom' on the lens wears and, over time, makes it difficult to turn on. My BD has a LED and standard globe combination which is great. |
