I am considering this kit or your pocket mini kit, but I'm undecided as to which I should get. I like the idea of rechargeable AA batteries since I have lots of those, but the look of the pocket mini is great. Any suggestions?

This host will give you the option of using rechargeable AAA batteries if you use a FlexDrive.

Same option goes for the Pocket mini! (CR123 or RCR123) But sometimes the RCR123 fits a little snug in the Pocket Mini because of the protection circuit. But you can try different batteries and find one that fits nice...

The biggest difference besides that is size:

The Pocket Mini is much smaller. This makes it a little more challenging to build, but is still a fairly easy build. As long as you understand how to set current on a FlexDrive using a proper test load.

Which is the case for both builds. Getting the 'Hot' option on either kit will make for an easy assembly... :)

Yes, the host comes with it's battery pack/holder. (batteries not included) I do include a basic instruction sheet. But it is not a step by step 'how to' press your diode into an AixiZ module and all of that.

There are good tutorials in the tutorials and help section...

These Side button MXDL's are amazing! I've just finished working with one, made an 8x blu-ray build (S03.. dont get excited)

And i must say, this host makes it FEEL like im using a green laser, but it's blu-ray! cuz of the side button. It's a nice feeling, I like it.

Very durrable, Dependable.

You guys should give this host a try if you havent! plenty of space to work in, no fear of small spaces here ;)

Thanks for posting back Dark! :)

Yeah I'm surprised that these have not been as popular as the 3405. (same battery configuration)

It's a much nicer host! (IMO)

And the price of the host/heatsink combo is only $35 plus shipping...

I still offer the FlexDrive 'Hot' option to make the build really easy. (see first post)

Anyway, glad you like it! :D

Good point!

It also has large notches around the head to keep it from rolling off the table...
