Sorry I have not been checking messages! The laser in the link appears to be the same as the one I have. Since I have purchased the laser, there has been some increase in the divergence when focused to infinity but still very good performance considering the price.

FireMyLaser, PM sent!

I have a nice small collection. This one is my favorite Spy Tri-V!

I was visiting there last November. Saw a lot of the same cheaper laser pens and gadgets at Temple Street and Stanley Market. Nothing too exciting laid out except for this one 405nm (I assume) pointer style that was priced about 1200HKD at Stanley. Visually it was only slightly less bright than...

Interesting. Could be useful under certain conditions, say, a tailings pond? A properly built scanner could reduce the number of deaths (of birds) due to oil and chemical ponds. The acoustic cannons are fairly annoying in the oil sands.

The Russians did this as a means of propulsion. I believe it was also very quiet. I know it's true because Sean Connery wouldn't lie.

I could see how, in theory over a few beers, this could help. IF it could reduce the demand on the alternator, there could be a reduction in fuel used to turn it. But you'd have to be operating some high draw electronics at a specific frequency. Reminds me of the device that would increase...

I've always thought this was interesting... At 3 lbs and 35.5" open, it's not what I would call a "flipper". I don't really collect, but I have a few model 41s in 440C, 154CM and D2 as well as a trainer.

I purchased a couple of cheap blue/violet pointers off eBay advertised as <10mw. On the LaserBee they both put out just over 30mw. Just something to keep in mind for your eye safety. I use UVEX SCT Orange safety glasses with my BluRay (about $8 at the local auto store). On a direct hit, mine...

Interesting little helicopters, but I think I will stick to my MCX and MSR. Parts are available locally so wait times are significantly reduced! I'm sometimes tempted to get a larger heli, but I'm already into r/c rock crawling...

Sorry mfo, my comment wasn't directed at you. As you know, some of these lasers are coming with batteries and chargers...

Given the context of this thread, I feel it's a valid warning. The waterproof red laser from O-Like comes with an 18650 rechargeable lithium battery. I don't care who the battery comes from, I will test each on a meter to ensure it isn't under 2.75v. Even expensive AWs can experience protection...

Not exactly sure what batteries came with your laser but, as a general rule, you should not leave charging batteries unattended. At the very least, make sure they are on a non combustible surface under a smoke alarm. I'm also into nice flashlights (where I hear most battery horror stories) and...

My favorite two lasers are in Perkin Elmer FTIR and UV/Vis spectrometers. The former was used to measure combustion products in diesel engine oil and the latter for identifying and quantifying pharmaceutical drugs and nutritional ingredients. Hope to have my own UV/Vis one day!

Welcome fellow Albertan!

A decent round trip to Hong Kong from Calgary is around $1400. The cheaper pointer style pens are available in nearly every open market. I played with a 200 mw pen style violet laser. Pointed it at a black plastic bag and it instantly began to burn! I think that was listed at about $400 HKD...

Just posted a review of my O-Like <200mW green. Check it out! http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/o-like-200mw-green-laser-48595.html

Re: O-Like Shipped my order just in time :D Every time someone posts in this thread, a wooden match dies :crackup:

I have a 50mw green and 5mw red and violet. All five of my cats will chase any colour with enthusiasm. The motion seems to be more important than the colour. My dogs respond best to the green, but it's also possible that it's the easiest to see as it is more powerful. They don't usually chase...
