I can stack dimes in a booth all day, but my bank account never sees them! I’m a broke, full time college student and can’t afford all the fancy stuff, like a $160 chopped scoop hood from outlaw or pipelines cloud. I can, however, afford a $20 hood from Amazon and an on sale lens!
I got “The Duke” off of an ad on Facebook that was running a deal, which turned this $70ish lens into a $50 one! I bought a black helmet and liked the look of the red, and saw a video of some arc shots (I’ll get to that later), which made me pick the Duke. It’s got great clarity, comes in phenomenal packaging, and looks sick as **** on my black helmet.
HOWEVER; The Duke is advertised as a “true color lens with a slight green tint!” It is NOT. It’s blue, VERY blue. Don’t let that discourage you, it’s still got a great view, especially for the price.
I’d recommend getting a spare set of batteries (this lens takes two CR1025 three volt batteries). On day one of getting the lens I put it to work for about 8 and a half hours. On day three the low battery indicator came on and eventually died on me the following day. After a quick battery change, and a weeks time, I’m still stacking cute little lava puddles without a care in the world!
