$60? Well, keep in mind you could probably expect to pay a in the 3 figures for an equivalent through Newport or someplace if they offered one. Then again, that ball tripod looks pretty crappy .

I have a table vice I purchased from Sears and it has the rubber pieces that covers the clamps. When I need to, I put my Nova in it so it also clamps down on the switch...very convenient.. And it doesn't take much pressure to hold it in place.

Yea, but that one doesn't look like it can be directed in certain directions like WL's one. But still, $60!?!? One guy on the LC said he got a tripod exactly like that at the airport for $4. I saw one at radioshack for $10.


Idea (should start a poll...)
Does Wicked Lasers inflate their prices based off of the average number of Wicked Bucks people have?


^That's the only good excuse for charging that much that I can think of.

I paid £5 for a tripod like that ages ago ;D ;D
DX have the exact tripod with out the bracket which would be very cheap to make http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1308 . Who in their right mind would buy this shit!!!!!!

 

[timelord]

Here's my other bracket for telescope mounting and it's extremely well engineered costing £25 not $60 for a flimsy piece of crap!!!!!!!!

wow TL, you have a few PM's! lol ;D ;D nice mount TL, and i wouldn't pay $60 for a tripod either!

60 Bucks is indeed quite over the top  
The concept however is good. I have a tripod myself, not one like that but quite similar ( cost 15 euro ). Now my tripod is very good quality and does it's job perfectly. However attatching one or 2 off my lasers on it is always a crappy bussiness involving peaces off cloth and rubberbands. So i really could use one off these, even 2 for that matter. However i am not keen on dropping 60 bucks for one + probably whatever shipping costs there are, 60 bucks for 2 that i might pay but for 1 c'mon.
At the Time Lord: Were did u get u'r mount if i may ask?
Anyhow, great concept, but way overpriced

 

[andy_con]

ive got 70 wicked bucks, so ill probably get one

 

[timelord]

I got it from here Sambo http://www.telescopehouse.co.uk/pag...d=C8615D244F6D4874840E02312DB1F1B7&action=lnk

 

[sambo5472]

Yeah i was considering that to Andy since i have some wicked bucks laying around, but i rather spend them on a core or an extra pair off safety goggles.

Thanks for quick reply timelord

Edit: it's a petty it's a uk based store. Evrything in dollars is quite a bit cheaper for us Europeans these days with 1 euro being about 1 dollar 40 cents ;D

RHITH !!! That is very nice - thanks for sharing that one

 

[andy_con]

as ive been banned from the forum i wont be getting anymore bucks, so might as well use them up. im not paying any extra and giving wicked any of my hard earned cash

Actually what you can do is purchase a Dremel clamp, the older version. The clamp is rubber padded so you dont have to worry about damaging your laser. It's also got an axial movement, better than this IMO.
