Ended up with an e-bay 30mW laser from as a groomsman gift. I've done a bit of reading and probably know that there isn't an IR (hoping there is though) filter on this thing, but of course the seller claims there is.
I think it was from HDE (Hottest Deals Ever).
Wondering if there is an easy way to test for the filter? I've read things about using cola as a filter for the green and viewing with a DV on night mode. Tried that but there was still visable green through the cola. What about using color filters that come with TV calibration discs? Red, Green, Blue?
Follow-up, assuming there isn't already a filter in place, how difficult/advisable is it to add one? Obviosly I have no experience taking these things apart.
Thanks.
