Long time reader, first time poster....
I just rec'd my DX30 after a 45 day wait, and one of the first things I did with it was to check the IR leakage with a digital camcorder in "NightShot" mode. Now, either I did something wrong in setting the camcorder, or this laser is spewing IR all over the place. My question is this: Is this laser reputed to come with an IR filter inside? Cause if not, I'd really like to try to fabricate one for it, just seems kind of dangerous to use it without one. Or do I need to get hold of special goggles perhaps? Any comments, tips, tricks, warnings, and admonishiments are welcome.....
