The DLC weighs 12.3 ounces and measures 7.5 inches long. The DLC, which is manufactured to withstand the rigors of work in the field, operates on three settings: high, low, and strobe.

Recharge the lithium battery while working with the included 12-volt vehicle charger. Inside the body of the DLC sits a vibration-isolated microphone for clear audio recording. A removable rubber cap covers the microphone when not in use, keeping dust and water out. The microphone can be utilized to record audio along with video for documenting after-action reports. For greater flexibility, the audio feature can be deactivated where required by law. The DLC retails for $500.

Here are the DLC's specifications:

  • Mil-Spec hard-anodized

  • High: Up to 200 lumens. Low: Up to 80 lumens

  • One-count video activiation switch

  • 2.5 hours of run time on high setting. More than 8 hours on low setting.

  • Integrated CMOS color video camera with audio

  • 3GP video format

  • 4GB video storage capacity

  • 58° viewing angle
