I have one that I picked up a few days ago. Loving it so far. Just make sure you use a marri d pair of batteries with ANY dual battery unit. Also, if it is not upgraded out of the box then plug it in to your computer and update the software. Gives you 200 watt capabilities and a couple of other goodies I believe. Mine was updated out of the box so not exactly sure what changed. Also you can disable the top ir fire button in the menu.

If you are not familiar with "married" batteries then research it, it is essential. The basics are: buy 2 brand new identical batteries, only use them together. Whatever happens to one happens to the other one. Only charge them together, only use them together and never separate them or use them singly in anything for any reason.

I was thinking of either pulling the trigger on this or the 4S

I compared the 2 and went for the 3li. Feels more solid in the hand and while not as ergonomic it just seems better made. Plus the battery door, while a little harder to remove on the 3li, definitely isn't going to come loose and fall off like some people have complained about. I looked at the Sigelei 150, 4s and 3li and for the price I think the 3li is the way to go.

Edit: not a fanboy as this is my first Pioneer item. I had a Kanger Subox mini until today when I sold it and my backup is a Sigelei 75tc.

I put a piece of skateboard grip tape on my battery door to slide it off nice and easy. Looks pretty spiffy on their too. I'll post pics when I get home.

Love my IPV3 li it has been great so far. P4Y has a customer in this guy, my ipv mini 2 is a great little unit also. Built freaking solid also.
