Yeah, pictures on DX do not do it justice. Even the above picture doesn't... When i was delivered like a gazillion of wrong hosts, i thought this would be an OK replacement.
But when i got it, i fell in love with it immediatelly. I couldn't put it down anymore. Especially after the laser was in..
It looks and feels amazing.
However, there is one problem with it. Protected batteries don't fit into the SAIK. That's why i kept the SAIK for myself, and used almost identical looking Rominsens for everyone else. But Rominsens officially aren't even available - they ship out a random mix! Luckily i know someone at DX...
The other problem is, that it's not easy to turn into a laser. There are no usefull parts in it, and even an AixiZ module doesn't fit - too little room. I have to make the module from scratch - a 27mm long, 18mm dia aluminum module, that is also a heatsink, unscrews at the top, and contains the entire laser. I even had to cut 1/3 of my driver away, to make it fit. It's now 13x9mm. It's hard to make them, but the end results are worth it.
And in just a few days, this host will contain a 6x!
