What are your thoughts/experiences with this one from o-like?

Powerful Crown upgrade 500mW green laser torch/waterproof [OL-532-500] - $269.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

I'd like something with a decent dot and divergence. Is this laser ok? It says TEM00 but beam quality is still something I am learning about.

Any suggestions on a bright, good green at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Cheap high powered 532nm lasers usually don't have good beam specs. The lower powered ones have better beams usually... I believe the 50mW 532nm laser o-like sells has very good beam specs.

Also, use the search bar. Yobresal did a review on this very laser.

I have it and mine is very overspec it peaked at 710mW
About the beamspecs, i cant say they are the best,
but it doesnt bother me much.

Hmmm this isn't exactly a "pointer", but if you want high power, go for it. I had one for a very short amount of time and the divergence isn't anything to write home about, but for the power and money it's really not bad!

I just got the 400mW, and it's beam specs aren't the worst. Lets just say they are better than the arctic
