It's mW, and it's impossible to tell from a video like that.
Sorry.

My insanely accurate EB-LPM (Eyeball-LPM) is reading 5-1000mw.

It is impossible to determine the power output of your laser through a video, especially with absolutely no environmental variables. Was there fog/moisture in the air, much dust?

Even with these factors we won't be able to help you much, if you really want to know you lasers output, send it to a member to have it metered, or buy yourself a Laserbee.

The ONLY way of really knowing the power of your laser is to have it
tested on a Laser Power Meter...
You can't get the wind speed by sticking a wet finger into the air...

BTW...

But you can make an idea ;) maybe my EB-LPM is more accurate hehe I'd say somewhere from 20 to 60mW, this looks like the 50mW green pen from dealextreme.

Yeah Albert... maybe you're right...
I'm pretty sure it is more than 1mW and probably less than 500mW...
Yeah that narrows it down... that's my guess...:whistle:

So... Albert... how windy is it in your area... don't forget to wet your
finger first for the most accurate results...:san:

BTW.... what is an EB-LPM....:thinking:

hey lasersbee, it must be very windy because my finger went very cold so fast hehehe

No really, asuming there's nothing strange, it's not 200mW or 1mW, 50mW sound right to me.

I remember my first post on lpf, asking if my first laser was 80mW or 50mW while only giving you a photo of the dot, and I also remember lasersbee telling me something similar than what he just said, and at the end I couldn't believe noone could tell me.

Ignorance is dangerous lol

I don't think this guy Exit3k is the owner of the laser shown. He is only asking for aproximate power so he can get one like that... correct?
I'd say 30-50 mW. Give or take a watt :p

No!? Look at the youtube-vid owner.

But if this is a panel game I´d say it´s about 100mW

Erm, white girl booty dance? :p

Seriously though, looks to be around the 50mW mark, but remember that as it warms or cools, the power can change sometimes very rapidly - I have a greenie that can jump from 30mW to 90mW in a few seconds.

Sorry dude, didn't even look.
Well, as far as I know it can be only <5mW with soldering done in the room prior to shooting the video. So you cannot really tell.

I just figured that, if you own a laser pointer, you could post a lot of pictures of it and so, only one vid gave me the logical conclusion he found that vid on youtube accidently.

My bad.
