Ok, so i got this o-like 200mW laser today!
It is focusable, although maybe i got it wrong about getting 2 batteries as i thought i would, to therefore have it small or large, charge 1 battery & use another, apparently its a choice when ordering!! It didn't em that way when ordering, but hey ho, i got 1 battery! But i got a charger, which on the site, it doesn't say i get!!
The laser isn't the one i ordered!, its the same power (180mW, maybe more or less i dunno), but it looks like the one that has star patterns as well as a dot!
I guess thats like ordering a pair of Levi's jeans in black & getting blue!! They are still Levi's jeans, they still do the job, but not what i ordered!!
I bought this one, not just because i liked the shape & power, but i also like the aesthetic look of the sticker & the white writing of 'Ancient Laser V6' on the side, it looks good online!!
The sticker i got was for a red laser & not the same as the one on the site & also the key lock spins around in the tail piece, i mean the whole metalic key area, not the key turning off & on, you have to push it in to turn it on!!
The appearance of the laser apart from it not looking like what i paid $160 for is nice!, it is heavy, professional looking & i am mightily impressed with the power, but i have nothing to compare it with as its my 1st laser.
What i do see, is that the dot is a lot bigger than i thought, maybe thats cos its a green laser & not like my 1mW red! The beam as it comes out of the lense is small, but when it hits something its a green explosion. When the twist top focuser is halfway, i can see the beam expanding, which i hoped i wouldn't & when the focus is fully off & focused out, the beam is litteraly a flashlight, but i'm not sure whether it should be like that!!
Only when the end twist focus is fully focused in, do i get a small dot over a large distance, but i'm not sure thats how it should be!!
I was hoping the beam wouldn't visibly expand as much as it does!! Is this normal, i mean over a few feet unless more or less totally focused!! I expected a green beam, the same narrowness ongoing for at least a few hundred meters, or maybe i'm wrong i dunno!!
Tonight is particularly foggy here & so therefor i may be seeing a lot of beam glare, but even indoors, i see the beam expand a lot!
Can anyone say what is the reason for a fully unfocused beam, as the dot is as big a s a house?
The centre of the dot is to the left of the glare & a couple of strange shapes within the glare of the main dot!
I see no reason to have the laser fully unfocused!, is there one!!
I also found after sales service not as good as what EtherMagic said about Rayfoss! It seemed like after i spent my money, it was a pain in the arse for o-like to reply to my questions!
In all, i didn't get the laser i asked for, so why have the design on the site & when i asked for a sticker i was told it wasn't worth it, even if i paid costs! & whether its a ood buy or not, i dunno, as i don't know what to compare it with!! But i am impressed by the power & display!!
Can i use it fully focused all the time to get the dot i want over distance??
I will hope to get some pics up asap & i guess if i knew fully about green lasers, divergence, the differences between greens, reds etc, i then will know if i have a good buy!!
