Hello everyone,
I have been browsing this amazing forum for about 3 months incessantly to learn as much as I can about my new interest in lasers. Although you don't know me I feel like I know all you guys after reading so many posts on here
Having read that green DPSS 532 lasers are quite fragile as the crystals can come unaligned I was wondering how easy they can be dislodged or damaged in the "pen style" units. I would love to bring my lasers on a backpacking trip or hike to be able to shine them away from the city lights and away from attracting so much attention but I am so afraid of damaging my most prized possessions!
What are your experiences with how hardy these lasers are? Are there any wavelengths that have good beam visibility that would be more suited to a bumpy camping trip for instance?
Thanks and good to meet you all :thanks:
