Micro Driver Options

[Solomon Laser]

Hello All,

I have searched a lot on this forum, google, and laser stores trying to find small drivers for a pocket build for violet, red, and blue diodes.

There are only 2 small drivers (15mm length or smaller) I can find, and availability seems very limited.

Micro Flex Driver $20-25
Nano Buck Driver $30

Are there any I am missing, even custom made drivers? I hope so because I am afraid of building pocket hosts and the current availability dropping even more.

If someone has some designs I would even be interested in maybe partnering up to try to produce them... I would like fellow hobbiest to have more options.

Thank you

The microboost driver was awesome but I don't think anyone has stock of them anymore,

The nano boost is also a great driver but seems only a limited supply for now,
The Flexdrive V5 is available and also a great driver with different ranges for adjustable current.

Australist is working on building some buck and boost drivers witch should be great,
Also xwoosee might be developing a boost driver,

Flaminpyro. Used to sell different types of mini boost drivers for Lazzerer but a lot are now out of stock and also not a reliable supplier anymore!

Options are very limited these days but you can double up on Flexdrives for higher currents if needed!

Not sure how small "micro" is to you, but it's very much worth it to follow this thread:
