    how to focus a beam?

    I am always a geek, and was into laser earlier but life got in the way I guess :D I will report back once i am able to fit it with the new g2 lens that's coming (hopefully it is true g2 since I am buying off ebay, one never knows for sure) I did notice some very light (soft?), and very wide...

    how to focus a beam?

    The issue was that after I received it, the beam and focus was terrible, no matter how I adjust it (out of focus and terrible splash). That's why I had to take it apart and started cleaning the lens hoping to get rid of the splash, no matter what i tried, I can't get rid of the splash, then I...

    how to focus a beam?

    thought i would post an update after I "played" around with it and read a lot more from here. The pointer I bought here actually appears to have a poor lens setting, there's no thread on the lens holder, so it was loose, but after me messing with it a few times, its totally loose now I might...

    Sale thread/ Hosts/Heat Sinks/Focus adapters/lasers

    I am looking for a green or violet/blue to add to my collection. I want a solid, decent, fun piece, without going over $70. Was hoping for a used one. Something that can pop latex balloon not just black ones. And maybe easy to add some light saber add on. I am learning that mass produced...

    how to focus a beam?

    Should I also paint the inside black? is the aluminum color causing the glare / flair effect, or am I completely wrong? How do you guys combat glare? I see the link has the focus ring unpainted.

    Re: FS: Sanwu Laser store - R/G/B handhelds x3 BE & Stainless steel "The Spiker" rele Does your laser pointer fit the adapter to use with line and cross effect lens? Also, any new discount codes? Newbie here, what’s the duty circle of the pointers why they are so much cheaper, besides housing...

    how to focus a beam?

    Thanks guys, I think I figured it out. The head piece is constructed of a tube that hold the lens, and when I disassembled it and put it back several times the tube thread got moved just a tiny bit up and down. So the lens is now not focused. Just a few fractions of a mm result in poor focus...

    how to focus a beam?

    The more I play with it the worse focus it seem to have, I must had the lens at an angle before to get “good” aim at 10feet because I think I finally have it now the burn focus is about 4 inches from the pointer. At 10 feet I get a huge circle showing all the dust on lens and glare ring :(. I...

    how to focus a beam?

    https://i.imgur.com/Osot1im.jpg https://imgur.com/gallery/Gf4Tdpf Seller says it’s fixed only adjustable by screwing tight or less tight. The problem is I can focus it few inches in front anything further is not achievable. Similar problem with my dx laser except I can adjust the head and...

    how to focus a beam?

    The diode has a piece of metal to make what ever light come out of it technically a half circle. All diodes are like that, that’s how the line is formed the half circle at a distance has the middle area with most light. Is it possible to get an infinite aim with just one lens?

    how to focus a beam?

    About 10feet the beam shows a wide line instead about 1 Inch wide Also the pattern is really like a Star and in the center is the wide line. It’s kinda cool, but not very clean looking.

    how to focus a beam?

    I contacted him, but so far so response. it is definitely fixed, i just read a bit about expander. and also read that G7 is suppose to avoid the need for that. I guess that was the seller's intent. I am used to a pin or nearly a pin for focus, this shows about a ~5mm circle (estimate) I...
