it's a great laser! very strong, bright, and burns!. unfortunatly, mine mode hopes when it gets warm, also, i can feel it getting warm from the outside, so I guess the only positive side of it mode hoping is it warning me it's hot. On a cold night however it never seems to mode hop. It also depends which batteries I'm using. How badly it mode hops is random too, for the most part it usually isnt too bad, but a couple days ago it was 2 dots... but since then that hasnt happened again.
so, a none mode hoping version is awesome! I started making a video of mine, but I need to take some more vids to make it complete, such as lighting some fireworks with it, and some more night shots.
