Pelagius, I actually didn't use anything at all for the beam shots. Maybe the San Diego air is just that bad? lol
Honestly it's just so freaking bright, it's super easy to get a picture with my phone.
That's what I was thinking. I would like to build a Laser driver with this feature. If I can find something small enough, maybe I can fit 2 driver circuits on a board, with some sort of latch circuit to switch between them. We'll see what I can come up with once I have a proper workbench and...
Thanks everyone! I'm definitely glad to be here, and I hope I can contribute something once I've learned the ropes!
I actually laughed out loud :LOL: I hope that's good? Haha!

Paul, I actually just received my G2 lens with focusing ring the...
Hello!
New to the forums and figured I ought to show off my first build. Definitely happy with it!
SL S4 Host, eBay A140 diode, and 1.25A driver (playing it safe).
I don't have a power meter yet, so not sure on output.
Next on my list: High power 465 and a pocket 532nm pen.
And before someone...
Hey Jordan,
I know I'm new on the forums, but I've read so many great things about you and your shop. It sounds like things are crazy on your end with all the changes, glad to hear you've found some help to ease the load you've got.
I put in an order for an N465 about a week ago, and I'm really...
