Hey - sorry for the delayed update - Borgqueenx - check your PM's. I've been having a CRAZY hard time with my personal life lately and unfortunatly this has taken a back-burner until now - RHD was nice enough to SMS me and let me know that there was a fire that needed putting out. I'm not at...

Updated with prices, etc.

Hey everyone, thanks for the messages. It's not a dire, end of the world emergency... But I do need to drop them all. I mean, if I were to keep any, it would be one of the IQS ones because they're amazing (low divergence, high power) The 1500$ estimate was also pretty close to what I was...

Thanks Tonga. Life happens and in the end, it is just stuff, but right now money stuff is more important than laser stuff lol

Okay, I've decided to update this thread since I'm parting everything out. Lots of people have been asking prices and some people have been nice enough to educate me on some prices because they were too much (Prices for new stuff had dropped, etc.) So that being said, I'm updating this...

Eventually... I'll have two and I'll make two lasers - Ideally one would be a 2W 445 and the other maybe 400-500mW 405, but we'll see how it goes. :) Either way, the host is sick and I'm very excited for it!

:eek: I'm speechless.

I'm interested on the condition that I can sell some of my existing lasers... We'll see but I'm definitely interested :) (I'll let you know via PM as soon as I either make money or get money for my existing ones)

Funny, I JUST did the same for the same reason as mentioned above: The more of us that enter, the less likely that someone irresponsible will get one. Well, maybe. It's supposedly random, but we'll see. To save time though, the answer to the entry question is: King of Spades. (Just so...

I lost the thread lol So mine starts at over 100mW with very little IR, and then drops to 55mW within 20 seconds if not sooner... Not worth the price IMO

Sorry again for the delay! BEAMSHOTS: With the lights on - this is still VERY bright. And finally, a couple of foggy shots outside.

Sorry - my weekend was a cluster-mess, I DID take the pics but didn't get to upload them yet. I'll put them up hopefully tonight :)

Nothing in my inbox, and I don't think I deleted it. It's possible the internet may have gobbled up our binary stream somewhere LOL

Thanks MarioMaster for responding on the thread directly! I'm definitely not unsatisfied, I was just curious about the readings because it seemed they were low compared to what I was anticipating, that's all. It was a little bothersome that it wouldn't detect a 5mW laser, but I don't need...

Dang dude - totally my bad - I said I would give you some too but been busy and forgot to take pics. Let me get on that right away sir!

That doesn't answer my question though. I realize a larger crystal set will have a larger beam typically but that doesn't address the divergence in question. Why would a higher output result in higher divergence? Typically, a larger beam is easier to keep a low divergence on than a tighter...

I just got a response to my question from Frank about the divergence being so high, and also about the IR filter and here was his quite fast response: "Hi,dear Dave Well,it is not easy to reach 1.2mrad for such a powerful laser. If power is lower,it will be easy to get 1.2mrad. Yes,this...

Hahaha, I totally am aware - I tried my best to give a very solid review too, to do it justice. It's certainly no Hemlock Mike review, but I think it's enough justice for a laser worth it :) http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/review-viasho-500mw-532nm-vbp-portable-61082.html#post865130

Hey! I love this style too - if ALL of my lasers were like this, I would be totally okay with that. I haven't tried popping a balloon. I don't think it'll pop them though. ;-) Warm up: YES. After about 2 minutes it gets warm to the touch just below the heat sync, near the switch and LED...

Well, here it is. I had suggested a price range, a few basics for what I was wanting to buy and actually left the decision up to the forum. After a little discussion and clarification of my needs, the forum suggested getting a Viasho laser. I connected with Frank via email, and here is the...
