Didn't see an active thread concerning this so I figured I might open a new one.

Post your favorite hosts (with pics of course!) so everyone can see!
This can be based on looks, functionability (or however you say it) or a good mix of both.

Thought it might be a good idea so anyone looking to build a laser can scroll through and pick the host he likes best :D

I haven't taken pics yet, but the Romisen host is also what my 500mW IgorT 8X is now in.

I also love the Dorcy Jr and have several, these two are built by Igor as well!

And yeah, I have a few Kryton grooves too! These are great, this one is chrome plated but all the rest I have are color anodized or bare aluminum.

My favorite flashlight. 1945 ROV Miner's light W/ explosion-proof bulb.

Oh, right, this post is about hosts.
As you can tell by my sig., I don't own many "top dollar" lasers. When I first got into this hobby I promised myself that I would not pay more thn $100 for any laser. I've now had to amend that to, I will not pay more then $100 for any "hand-held battery operated" laser, that is not too good of a deal to pass up:D
So my favorites are the LED flashlight conversions. Every where I go I look for "cool" looking FL's to transform.
My newest and favorite (for right now) is this W/L PD look-a-like (sort of) Brand name; AutoCraft
200mW532nm007.jpg

And I like this Mini rear clicky host also, it's very sleek Brand, N/A
Minihost001.jpg

This one is a Mini flashlight from the '70's, never seen another one. Very heavy, feels like lead. Brand, N/A

And this one, branded "Iron Bridge" (heat-sink sticks out so far, because of size of DDL driver, will be modifying it as soon as my Flex's come in)

Any body else have any "homemade" hosts? I'd love to see a few!:whistle:

For out and about: (carrying in the pocket)

Tiny Titanium
Stainless Steel 10440
Key Chain CR2
Pocket Mini


For Playing with:

Phaser is so cool because the laser is on a 'trigger' with sound. :cool:

(Pictures in my 'kit threads', linked in signature)

Of course, Krytons are in my top five...


But for showing off, I like my silver RPL 425 best...
