This has been a problem for a while, but I haven't had time to post about it. The focus on this laser seems to be deteriorating. The point at which the laser is focused to infinity keeps moving toward one end of the focus ring setting. By this, I mean that the focus ring is all the way down...

I've actually been really busy, haven't had time to contact them. Probably won't have time for another two weeks or so.

Well there is the focus problem I've been talking about. Still not sure what's up with that.

No offense, but you've gotta read stuff more, dude... ^^; Like I said 2 posts ago, I never had the time to try modifying the laser in any way. This is something I noticed a little after that discussion, and it's a completely separate issue - the focus just started deteriorating over time.

I think you've misunderstood what I'm having a problem with... I can no longer focus the laser to infinity. The closest I can get is the coin-size beam at 5 feet. I don't know though if this is a defect only with this particular laser, or if it is a common issue for this model.

Well yeah, that's sort of what I've been assuming... and so it's clear, I never did have time to modify the focus setting as in the earlier discussion

Well, initially it was pretty good, but as I mentioned in my earlier post, the best I can get now is a coin-sized circle from 5 feet. Still not sure what's going on, and I've been too busy to really investigate or ask around here. Probably gonna start a thread on it in a few weeks when I have...

Received mine as well. Great packaging. Will +rep tomorrow evening when I'm back home at an actual computer :P

Re: GB oemlasersystems goggles Lol, I'll take that to mean "expect shipping info soon!".

So... Interesting development. My focus seems to be deteriorating. The correct focus has been creeping closer to one end of the focus ring, and as of a week or two ago, surpassed it. By this, I mean that the focus ring is all the way down, and the focus is gradually diffusing over time, even...

Mine are 190nm-598nm Laser Protective Goggles - Rayfoss I'm pretty sure they aren't the ones you're talking about (in fact, I think I've actually seen the red beam enhancement goggles on that site), but I'll check when I get home in case. as for the thread... I think i'll go ahead and buy a...

Almost decided on buying a pair of these... (well, an over-glasses version, but they should be the same quality). Main point holding me back is that post showing the back of the box explicitly stating that the goggles aren't to be used with lasers... For context, I have a 1.8W 445nm from yob...

I may grab a pair of these... I'll still have the certified pair from the GB for myself, but these could be sufficient for people watching from a further distance, in cases where there is no chance of spectral or mirror reflection, only diffuse light. Looks like this reviewer has already tested...

Alright, well I'm probably not gonna be modding mine until I have some free time in a week or so - if you feel like making another video, I think that would be a pretty cool thing to have posted (maybe even stickied) somewhere appropriate on the forum. Otherwise, I'll just go by your text...

Re: GB oemlasersystems goggles I'm certainly not arguing against safety, I agree that this is a great opportunity for great protection at a lower price. I just thought I'd chip in as to cost - I know that at least for myself at this time, buying these level of goggles is a decent expense, and...

Sounds doable, only part I'm wary about is how to find where I want it while it's taken apart... unless you have any suggestions, I suppose I'll just find the furthest away thing I can and make the dot as small as possible. Video still sounds great though, thanks.

That sounds like something I'm definitely interested in. Not that experienced with DIY lasers though, any chance you have some instructions handy so I don't unintentionally mess up my new laser?

Re: GB oemlasersystems goggles Yep, those are indeed the overspec pens I was talking about. If you already saw my thread, you know about my personal bias against pen lasers, but that's just me. As for the lasers themselves... not sure how familiar you are with lasers overall, but I wouldn't...

Alright, finally got ahold of this laser. It's alright, seems sturdy, and the beam is reasonably visible in even slightly dark conditions. The belt holster is also nice. The one complaint I'd have to say I have about it is the focus ring... Really tricky to focus this laser to infinity. I...

Re: GB oemlasersystems goggles I've actually just bought that same laser. I don't have time right at this moment to type up all that much about it, but keep an eye on this thread I made a while back, I should be making a new post within a day or so on how I like it. In general, I'd say it...
