Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
I've read OP again but it wasn't very clear on this: is Kevin shipping all the lasers for you to re-ship or is he shipping them directly to the final buyers?

I collect the orders and payments then i send the order+ money to kevin. He then produces tha lasers and ships them right to the customer. It would be a pain to have em shipped to me first because of the expensive shipping.
IF however you live in the EU, you buy an expensive laser, you dont mind paying extra shipping and you dont have an LPM then you could have the laser shipped to me. I test it and resend it to you

Thanks, I'm waiting for his answer to participate (I don't live in EU).

Hey offroadfreak8582,
Thanks for putting this GB together. I appreciate your time and effort.
I'm interested in the HL520 (50mW) and the HL405 (500mW) with a couple of the accessories (tripod, pen tripod, and diffraction cap).
The quick math looks like $292 before shipping. PM me with the total + shipping out-the-door price once you know what it all looks like close to close.
Thanks again!!
Cheers!

Do you know if these diffraction caps are made to fit their lasers? Do they fit all models?

Hey man!
Awesome! I am adding you now :san:
EDIT: total would be 292$ + 42$ shipping
The diffraction caps only fit in the HL style lasers.

Great opportunity to add another wavelength to my collection.
I want to be confirmed for 1 HL-808 1000mW, please
BIG :thanks:for this GB!

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
KapHn8d is there any chance you would be interested in the PL405 instead? I own both the HL and PL 405nm listed and the PL is twice the host the HL is in my opinion.
There are others who will back me up on this including Blord
As Offroad stated though, the PL will not take the difraction caps as the aperture hole is too big if that is what you are after.

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
Would switching to PL benefit the GB in some way? or are you just offering advice having personal experience with both trying to help me out?
The only reason I didn't order PL in both is because the 520 wasn't available in PL for the GB and I thought the same size host might have some advantages. The extra few bucks is worth it if y'all feel the host is THAT much better.
So you think I should switch to the PL405- 500mW? I'll bite. Go ahead and update my order offroadfreak8582. I'm ok with the extra $45 to check it out if you think it's worth it.
thanks!

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
Hey man!
No it does not mather to the GB in any way. It is just my personal experience with both models. The PL is the best choise for higher powered lasers because they have more mass. Also they come with a nice case and charger.
For the 520 is is kinda useless to have such a big host but still look cool though.
I am not saying you have to switch or anything the HL is awesome aswell but this is just my experience
I would make my decision on two factors. Portability or looks and runtime.
Greetings,,
Edit: i'll change the op if you are absolutely sure. Think about for a while.

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
Personal experience. I am not down for a PL520 for the same reason... it's not being offered.
The PL weighs quite a bit more and looks nicer. Suspect the heatsink is quite big in comparison to the HL.
Can someone else help me out with describing the diff. so it's not just coming from me?
Understand that I was initially totally against buying the bigger PL in the last GB until I received a couple. You would EASILY understand if you owned one of each. Unfortunately, the way Sky builds the units you would need a bomb to open them as they are not meant to be serviced. Everything is glued tight. Have never heard of someone being able to get one apart other than Blord but he got a special deal that one of his came in pieces/parts and built his so that it could be serviced. Think it was the 520.... That's why he has a PL520
posted after Offroad but was in the middle of typing....
What Offroad says is absolutely correct. Seems weird to have such a big host for a low powered unit (personally would like the 520 in either the PL or better yet, a pen) but the 405 in either host will almost certainly be class4 and quite a bit overspec. My HL was 734 and the PL was 667mw but if I had to give one up I would keep the PL. Besides the obvious weight/feel, the HL seems so "plain" looking to me.
DON'T just go off what I am saying, listen to others opinions. These are good guys here and many own multiple of each type. Please make your own decision here. Didn't mean to come off so strong.

Re: OPEN: Taking orders ROUND 3!: THE "Skylaser" (laserBtB) groupbuy!
Thanks guys... I really do appreciate the heads up. It means a lot to me that you would take the time to offer the advice. I don't have any previous experience with this manufacturer.
Go ahead and update my order with the change to the PL host on the 405.
Thanks again! Y'all are awesome.
Cheers!!
