What even is this?

Just saw this on eBay... :wtf:

Why is it so expensive, and where did this come from? First time I've seen a laser flashlight(?) like this before.

Hmmmmm interesting. I kinda want one if they were cheaper. Cool find though ElectricPlasma

I wonder,
Is it like an expander? Is it focusable? The text on the description is illegible on my phone. Would be sweet if so

 

[Dcrets]

Says 20mw 532nm. One hand adjustment of beam diameter and intensity. So a built in beam expander as VV says?

 

[ElectricPlasma]

It would seem so. But I'm just completely lost, what would make this thing cost $230? Sure even with glass optics and a 30mW DPSS module, it wouldn't be anything more than $100 and even that would be high due to the built in expander, would be a really interesting product and a considerable purchase if it were cheaper.

 

[Dcrets]

I agree. The pamphlet pics they include show a price of $350 plus shipping, even worse. Like you said, for less than a hundred might be worth a shot but not at that price.

It's a 20mw 532 with a zoom focus, it may be nicely made but not worth that price. Besides red would be better to preserve our natural night sight.

If the price wasn't so freaking high I would say it would be cool to take it apart and mod it with a more powerful diode.

Theres actually some better looking and a little cheaper items such as this on ebay. I messaged them and offered to do a review of thier product here, which may result in sales. Figured it was worth a try...lol we'll see...

Edit:
This is it ebay item #271717218544

Edit 2:
Found one for $80 with $30 shipping

I've seen things like this before. Here's a cheaper version for auction:

I'm pretty sure you could make your own by putting a green laser module in an adjustable focus flashlight host.

Edit: BIN @ $45.59 free shipping

Reading the description the lenses are ar coated. really want t o check one of these out

Extra cost due to waterproofing-optics- and nitrogen inside to prevent fogging- and the mounting gear-AR coated-- these things add up BUT also know that many hunters spend thou$ands on hunting trips and anything that helps bag a trophy seems important and a worthwhile btw it appears to be a green laser 'flashlight' not a pointer- makes seeing via your scope much better..you still do the 'aiming' w/ your scope's crosshairs, as there will be no 'spot'.
