Looking for Beta Testers

[RawCuriosity]

Hello everyone,

I am seeking beta testers for our new host assembly, we are close to relase and need the help from you to get the host perfect for you, even if you don't wish to beta test your advice still matters we would love to hear your feedback.

What's the host like?
The new host is a near exact external replica of the classic "301", "303", "Assassin" style lasers but made for standardized laser hobbyist parts, standard 12mm modules, M9x0.5 lenses, and standard driver pills. Despite looking similar on the outside the internals could never have been diffrent with C101 copper heatsinks and a 7075 Aluminium Barrel.

What's in it for you?
As a beta tester, you'll get a free version of the final host assembly and get to keep the prototypes, and you will also get a discount code for future pruchases, you'll also get your name in the credits of out product launch.

Requirements?
- 18 years or older
- Be located within either Canada or the USA (Shipping Concerns)
- Have decent knowledge of lasers and host assemblies
- Availability to test the product in reasonable time
- Able to provide quality feedback weather good or bad feedback (Your responsed will be taken heavely into account when editing the final product)
- Able to respond to emails on a decent timeframe
- Overall be interested in the product and testing

If you're interested, please reach out!
DM me or email at admin@censuslasers.com

We really hope to talk to you in the future.

Thank you,
R.C

Can you give a 3D version of it?
Does it use the same side switch thats supported by the plastic insert or does it use a pill like the C6 style that Survival Lasers sell?

This seems oddly familiar like when Tinker Tavern showed up......

"a near exact external replica of the classic "301", "303", "Assassin" style lasers". lol
An expensive replica of a $1 to$1.50 low cost/cheapest not very effective poorly designed host meant only for lowest cost Chinese mass production is still just what it is.

Was a dim idea from the get go when you posted the "Classic 301" laser post back in June 2024.
You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear no matter what you use materials wise.

What do you imagine you are going to do with your expensive "me too" copy of a poorly/ill designed and unattractive host sell a couple a year?
Who do you imagine is going to spend $40 to $100 probably more, on a diode, a module,a driver, a pill and a lens assembly and then waste those parts purchased, + waste the effort, time, and materials only to put it in a low end poorly designed unattractive to begin with 301 host unless they simply don't know any better?

I'm sceptical.

These hosts are much better than 301-304's.... Much nicer quality, weight, feel.
You could make heat-sink modules to fit the head end so the user would assemble the module that would slip into the head end, spring board rear contact could also be the driver and although a person could own 1 body and many head modules, most would want a body for each head they build.

Nice laser pointer @RedCowboy !

How powerful is it, batteries, output and wavelength?
