    • No pocket clip is included — you'll need a holster or aftermarket clip for secure carry.
    • Only 50 minutes on high mode is limited. You'll be stepping down to medium frequently on longer outings.
    • No built-in charging means you'll need a separate battery charger, adding cost and inconvenience for new users.
