Mitsu 500 hitting water tower 1 mile away.

[Richie89]

Thought I would share my newly built Mitsu500 638nm hitting a water tower during morning light. I think this is quite impressive considering its not dark outside and I've only got it pushed to about an amp so maybe what? 700mw possibly? I need a lpm. I sure do wish I could upload more than 800x600.
Thanks for looking.

Another pic since it will not let me upload more than 1 attachment!!

Woah nice. I love long range beamshots. Just wait till you get something with a beam expander and you'll be amazed by what it can do.

Pretty good for its divergence,
See your enjoying your mits 500, I love mine

hi richie,
hey the shots are cool and 600x800 is fine all anyone has to do after clicking on the post pic is click on it again and we can expand it no biggie .

Thanks everyone
Hah yeah RAZ your green beamshot during day pic you posted a few weeks ago actually inspired me to take this.
Very true VV I was actually shocked at how intense this thing is, visually it looks like it travels further than my 1 watt 445

Very cool Richie, just saw this thread! It's pretty cool to imagine you can control light so finely like that, to be able to put a small spot of light on a water tower a mile away. Like a gun, but with photons!

Lmao!! Yeah no kidding man it's incredible to imagine how much power come from a small diode and lens, and unimaginable to think about how much energy is in the beam of a 07E or m44!! Can't wait till the day I have one of those.

Great photo...couldn't see it at first, long range beam shots rock.

Seems like LPF could do with a general 'long range beamshot' thread.

That would be a good thread.

Reminds me of a night back in the 80s when I did the same thing with a He-Ne laser at a water tower about 3/4 mile away. It put a very visible spot on the tower. Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Edit: I tried to rep you, but I have to spread a bit more around first.

I run into that problem too when I didn't even realized I had already repped someone lol thank again though buddy, I would have loved to see that back then
