Laser Beam Expander - Tutorial and demonstration

[Sh0CkWaVe94]

aurora and viper with the beam expander look like a stalk grenade  >:)

[dragonlasersfanman]

@Sh0CkWaVe94  My thoughts exactly, not a pretty sight :)

[reedisgay1996]

spartan looks the best with the beam expander

[lf2hoo]

Does Hulk Ultra 400mw fit the expander?

Would it be a better deal to get Hulk Ultra Series 350mW Green Handheld Laser instead of 400mw, the only diffenerce is 50mw, but the prices are to differ 600US$

which one should I get

[dragonlasersfanman]

No, the Hulk Ultra does not fit the beam expander.

Normally I'd recommend you buy the 350mW model not the 400nm model.

[olsonknight]

but then its not an actual laser its more of a flashlight...which ruins all of the fun with having a laser pointer :C

[dingoman17]

What is the maximum distance for burning with a 95mW Viper green laser with the Beem Expander?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Very hard to say. From customer feed back, the burning distance is at least doubled.

There is a video in this channel of a 75mW Viper and beam expander popping a balloon at 15 feet.

[ATEClan554]

hey i need help.

i want to order a laser but i don´t know wich one. i´m thinking of the aurora gw 150mW or the spartan 150 or 200mW.can you tell me wich one of these got the best beam in daylight?

[nicksoccer999]

Would it be a better deal to get the 95mW viper with a beam expander or the 125mw viper without a beam expander?

What is better for brightness and burning?

[dragonlasersfanman]

For long range burning and visibility, a Viper 95mW is better.

For close range, (less than a meter) the Viper 125mW is better.

[merocks11738]

that was cool. what is the temperature at 30 yards. also what was that cool music

[twirlingchair]

4:57 were you having a seizure or playing air guitar? LOL

[twirlingchair]

nah i realize you were adjusting the divergence and just sped up that part. it just looked weird is all. BTW nice lasers! :)

[TheKidToddi]

Haha! There is already an Expander on my red 200mW laser pointer :D

[dragonlasersfanman]

To what factor does it control divergence?

[OXOCUBE54321]

how much is the expander

[dragonlasersfanman]

$89.99 and a matching adaptor is $5

[garapa]

can i still burn stuff with it?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Yes. The beam expander can improve burning ability at longer ranges.

[Undeadspiral]

$300 short of a viper lazer.

[jumpingsack]

hey hi am aperformer i need an idea the Q is how to poiny laser on each sides

[dragonlasersfanman]

I'm not sure what you want to do with the laser in your performance.

[mick00guitarplayer]

o and can you tell me wich beam expender i need for that laser? thnx

[dragonlasersfanman]

The beam expander can be used on the Viper, Aurora and Spartan lasers. Just make sure you get an adaptor to connect the beam expander to the right laser.

[tigoes]

Cany ou tell me the difference between Dragon Lasers and Tech Lasers? Whitch ones are better?

I heard that the Company CNILasers is infact building most of the lasers around. Acording to that all laser resellers are the same? Whit different designs...

Im wrong?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Dragonlasers is much better than techlasers for two reasons (according to customer feedback).

1-The lasers from techlasers are normally below spec and have problems where as the lasers from Dragonlasers are above spec and rarely have problems.

2 - Techlasers has poor customer service and almost no support service. Dragonlasers has a reputation for excellent service.

[tigoes]

First point is false... i checked the one i got and it reach 110mW after few seconds while i bought 95mW.

I would like to know if there is someone who can do a service on my laser cause i have broken it? The lens need to be replaced, and my diode got separated from the circuit card whit button.

Thanks

[Ieonman]

Sorry you've permentadently broken it.

Please be more carfull next time.

[Ieonman]

Yes CNILasers are a very good laser company some other companys resell them for much more but some sell for 10-30 more which is not that bad.

Also Techlasers SUCKS!

[tigoes]

Hello,

I open up my laser and the little card circuite got separated from my laser diode :((

Also i need someone for lens remplacement.

Have you any idea of where i can send it for service? Thanks

[Ieonman]

You've fucked that up gnarly.

You cant fix it.

[abbyxxoo]

You know you've spent your time well when..

[thundercracker303]

you have to buy the adaptor sperate right?

[dragonlasersfanman]

PM sent

[soulbanisher34]

if i only have lots of money i would buy the strongest laser..anyways, whats the strongest laser type in dragonlasers? and whats the price?

btw i love lasers

[dragonlasersfanman]

The strongest portable laser Dragonlasers has is the Hulk Ultra 400mW with an average power out put of 400-600mW.

This laser cost $1499.99 which puts it out of reach of most laser enthusiasts.

[Kdragonlaser]

hello dragonlasersfanman i am undering if you can subcsribe my videos. you don't need to do if you don't want to :)

[remofthelight]

i did all the math for this vid..... jk

[iGod999]

OMG, nobody gives a shit!!! put it on the laser already!!!

[ProLogicTour]

I want the first one he Showed with also the Wide band added LoL and I want to know what he was on too make his hands and Fingers move so Fast he was like a Speed Demon! LMAO!

[PlaystationXboxer]

It looks like a light saber xD Þ: nice vid

[dragonlasersfanman]

The fascination and enjoyment you can get from lasers is not limited by your age.

[soulbanisher34]

i agree.

[Vyraji]

wow mess with the teacher, bad bad boy....lalwl

[ghosthunter2006]

Vyraji, you've probobly been a nerd in school if you're still using these lasers today.

[nightspaide]

hey don't dis nerd they can be cool, i'm not one but i have a couple of friends that are and there's nothing wrong with them

plus with a name like ghosthunter that's pretty nerdy

[ghosthunter2006]

oh, wait. are you out of school yet?

[antihwman]

alright that you very much

[antihwman]

i would be all over this if i had the money ok well 2 questions 1. are those really worth $799.99 (USA)? 2. will the sparten burn light a match or pop a balloon?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Worth depends on how much you like lasers. It is high quality well designed laser so if you are into lasers, it is definitely worth it.

The 150mW upwards models can easily pop balloons and light matches.

[NamesROverated]

might i ask where you were testing the lasers at? I was at my local sam ash music store, and someone was shining a wide green laser like that.

[dragonlasersfanman]

Definitely not in the USA so that was not me :)

[panda1112233]

HOW MUCH DOSE EVERYTHING COST?

[ght1famas]

hey it`s the jakass music at 3: 06 min lol!...but where did you find the firstone...the big green?

[dragonlasersfanman]

The big laser is the Spartan GW and you can get it at w w w . dragonlasers . com

[zenthex1234]

and were can i get equepment like this???

[dragonlasersfanman]

From Dragonlasers at w w w . dragonlasers . com

[EyePatchMan]

is it possible to see this laser from a mile or farther??

[dragonlasersfanman]

Even with out the beam expander, any of our lasers with roughly more than 35mW of power can be seen at a mile or further.

With the beam expander the range of any laser will be MUCH more.

[beeftip42]

whats the point of having such powerful laser pointers? arent they just used for ummm... pointing?! Why do they have to be so expensive and powerful when you can just get a cheap one?!

[dragonlasersfanman]

The higher power gives the laser but better visibility and rnage whi is essential for many applications such as long range pointing.

[pknueve]

dude just teoll me the name of the song at least

[dragonlasersfanman]

The music is James Last - Carmina Burana

[BOSERNR1]

can u send me this song its awesome

and i love lasers too what´s better the hulk 75mW or the viper 125 mW both the same price so what would u saY?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Depends on what you want the laser for. For most people, the Viper 125mW is better.

[xXChaozLordXx]

man i like lasers, im going to buy a 5mw laser(low power), but ITS SO COOL,o well the laser in your video is much better lol

[DarkStar851]

Just shine it through a pair of binoculars, backwards.

[xXBallistic82Xx]

Are those still available to the US? I have a Viper 125mW, I know that high powered hand held lasers are banned from being shipped to the US.

[dragonlasersfanman]

They are still available in the US. You can order one now. Don't forget to also order the Viper adaptor.

[AnselmoFanZero]

Lower divergence, but the spot is no longer as small as it was before!?

[dragonlasersfanman]

A larger spot with lower divergence will increase in size at a much slower rate

[AnselmoFanZero]

Well, but then its not a pointer anymore ;-)

So then you got a nice 3inch spot over a 200m distance...I dont get it.

[dragonlasersfanman]

The beam expander increases the range and allows you to change the beam from being very thin to being very wide like a torch.

Both very useful functions.

[AnselmoFanZero]

A thin beam would be more interesting.

Wide beams....no need for a laser...LEDs would do the job....kidding.

[jp348654187414]

what is this music ?

[dragonlasersfanman]

James Last - Carmina Burana

[notorious1337]

my laser has tons of little dots around the main dot when i shine it at a wall can anyone help me get rid of them or something

[sive2006]

Now let me get this straight if it can controll range can you reduce the length to say 3 feet and let us starwars geeks have some fun lol

[dragonlasersfanman]

No. The beam expander an reduce the divergence (spread of the beam) so it has longer range but this is not what you are talking about.

[Seereno]

Would the Viper adapter work with other laser pen brands NOT from Dragonlasers?

[dragonlasersfanman]

PM sent

[alienfac32]

i think that when we r like 20 years later from now we have laser guns like that. they will just burn in a second throw your skinn and kill u :(

[harryjohnston14]

get a fuking life

[dragonlasersfanman]

Why, do you need one?

[SniperssOnly]

Erm can you help me ? i unscrewed to the top of my laser ... and the put it back on ... since then when i press the button the lasers dot isnt just a dot theres lots of light around it i cant realy explain but when i shine it on a wall it isnt a clear dot there is other green light around the dot can you help me ?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Check your messages

[crew187]

...

[pepsiproudley]

now its basically a green torch man

[dragonlasersfanman]

You can adjust it anywhere from a green torch to a green needle.

[jpeel132]

sounds like WoW theme

[XxXBloodshotXxX]

what kind of battery goes into an Aurora laser?

[dragonlasersfanman]

They use CR2 batteries. If you buy an Aurora, try to get rechargeable CR2 batteries.

[XxXBloodshotXxX]

where can i buy them???

[metalero19882]

en una feretería

[mrkiky]

Um, no you can't have a focus point from 1.4m to infinity because as you go further the beam waist (the diameter of the beam at the focus point) is going to be bigger and bigger.You won't be able to focus it to a tiny spot at 100m as you can at 1.4m.

[dragonlasersfanman]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the idea of a focus point is that the beam has little to no diameter?

[hydrogenman15]

Holy Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if I REALLY wanted to mount it on one of my diy reds I could right? I would guess that I would have mod it right? That should give me a

.5/10=0.05 mrad!

--hydro15

[dragonlasersfanman]

The beam expander will work in your DIY laser. What you'd need is an adaptor or connecter to attach the beam expander to your laser.

[hydrogenman15]

Thanks I'll look into it.

I know its not meant for blu-rays but they already have amazing beam spec's so i could have

an impossibly long burning range.

--hydro

[whiteshadow247]

Song?

[dragonlasersfanman]

James Last - Carmina Burana

[marsCubed]

the music is from carmina burana by carl orf, someone has added a disco beat to it though.. ugh.

[Michaelocolypse]

u have any lasers that can burn matches tape, pop balloons that u could sell for cheap?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Depends on what you mean by cheap. The Viper 95mW at 4299.99 is very cheap as far as high quality lasers go.

[Michaelocolypse]

nah i ment like 50 dollars lol

[dragonlasersfanman]

for $50 you might get lucky with ebay but ebay is normally a waste of money.

[starsoffyre]

Isn't the viper 95mW $199? Why did you say that it is priced at $4299.99?

[dragonlasersfanman]

That was a typo. Shift button did not work so "$" came out as "4"

[ADHD022096]

i realy want a hulk

[dragonlasersfanman]

The Hulk is a very nice laser with high power and excellent stability.

[Braulioiscool]

how much do they cost

[dragonlasersfanman]

$74.99 from Dragonlasers

[dsnpsp]

Again a nice video from Dragonlasers. :D

[stfuBUDDY]

damn you send me alot of these videos

[elgranto7]

awesome!, i need one haha

[doodyl9]

Is the power decreased with the attachments, like popping balloons?

[dragonlasersfanman]

There will be a very minor power loss but the ability of the laser to pop balloons will be much better and at longer distances due to controllable focus point.

[manineedadate]

LOL at epic music.

[Darrylb500]

Yeah exactly!

How many series of lasers ARE there? Geez...

[manineedadate]

lol what? were you responding to me?

[Darrylb500]

Yeah, at your laughing at the "epic music", summed up my feelings exactly when that started up :)

[lilsinjin]

man I love green laser pointers...just wish I had the money for 'em :/

[zestCC]

i know man!

[Awesomo12000]

Will they make those for the hulk series lasers?

[dragonlasersfanman]

At least not for some time. The lens shutter on the Hulk make it much harder to use with the beam expander than the other lasers.

[bdub232]

Cool beans, is that military grade stuff or something?

Hey, you're a Lefty too?

[dragonlasersfanman]

Military grade? The quality would be high enough to meet military grade.

Lefties rule!

[bdub232]

hehe..

[mikeeey1337]

awesome man! I've been wanting to see a video of this thing in action! how exactly can you measure mRad? measure the dor from a certian distance with a ruler?

what if you aren't using the metric system lol.

but damn.. i was hoping it had an adjustable clasp, that way it could be used on just about any laser...looks like not. Until/if i buy a dragonlaser (and that wont be for a while as i cant afford it) look like i cant get the beam expander.

[dragonlasersfanman]

You measure the beam width a meter from the laser than at 10 meters. The increase over that distance indicates the divergence.

You can always machine an adaptor yourself so the beam expander can work wtih any laser.

[mikeeey1337]

thanks! ill try it with mine.

what is the difference betweem the lenses in this beam expander and the lens in a focusable laser which can focus the beam?

how does this beam expander actually make the entire beam smaller? rather than just small at one point and then diverging even faster (which is what happens if you use the focus on any other laser)

[dragonlasersfanman]

The beam expander gives a much greater degree of control, the inital beam diameter is much larger, divergence as well as focus point can be adjusted

[VortexNeurofunk]

wtf is that music? the choir stuff i always liked that.. whats it called?

[dragonlasersfanman]

James Last - Carmina Burana

[VortexNeurofunk]

great vid... i have always wondered if was there something to stop the beam spread and well there u go cheers d00d

[ForgottenMemoriesFM]

Thanks for all the videos. Me and my friend finally got a 125mw viper and it passed my expectations. Such a nice piece of technology

[dragonlasersfanman]

Cool. Your Viper 125mW is a one very nice laser!

[Starcross42]

OK then. Where do I get a 'beam expander'? I have a red dragon laser module with a horrible divergence and would love to have a focusable beam!

[dragonlasersfanman]

The divergence of your red module may be too large even for the beam expander. I'll look into it for you.

[xyberfunk]

awesome

[HustlingVegas]

$500 for a lazer i ca get at walgreens for $10

[Longquark]

No, you can't get fun toys like these at Walgreens. The difference is, your laser has an output of anywhere around 1 mW, while these things them approaching the hundreds. Also, they're green, which is to the human eye about twice as visible as red. Walgreens lasers are only good for powerpoint presentations and playing with pets.

[HustlingVegas]

so these point farther than you can see? so the point is......?

oh i know, 2 waste $500

[Longquark]

Hey, some people like extravagant, dangerous toys. And no, my point is that from Walgreens you can't get better than a keychain laser that's safe for a baby to use.

Hell, why even post flaming comments?

What's YOUR point? To ruffle someone's feathers?

[jonnyj0987654321]

What would you waste $500 on HustlingVegas?

I don't know but it is probably something really sad

[HustlingVegas]

not a fuckin lazer pointer, thats for sure

[VortexNeurofunk]

yeah u'd spend it on ur mum coz she's a pro

[HustlingVegas]

so its $490 more because it goes an extra mile longer? wow

[jonnyj0987654321]

You must be sadder than me because you can't even spell.

How old are you, 10?

[HustlingVegas]

this is the internet fag, not an english paper

[VortexNeurofunk]

the net is for nerds not troglodytes like urself so fuck off if you cant understand it... he is talking perfect sense and only a moron wouldnt understand and the impression i get from ur comment is that you are indeed a moron so enjoy ur aids and fail faggot.

[HustlingVegas]

the nets for nerds? no its not u faggot its for everyone its just faggot virgin pussy nerds like u that come on here and take ll ur sexual fustration out on other people

ur defending a fucking #500 lazer pointer wow ur a dumb fucker, ur from austrailia and i can see why u fucking worthless redneck

[NiltiacTsegrah]

So by your logic, everyone should type like this:

OMFGLOL DATS G8 LOL

ALL the time?

[HustlingVegas]

wut

[neelradhakrishnan]

Dude, just STFU. Everyone thinks you are an idiot, so leave.

[VortexNeurofunk]

you still cannot see

[VortexNeurofunk]

you really are a fucking moron. can you not see what your eyes do not?

[maxkillz2]

awesome, i was wondering when they were going to make a video of this,i don't think mine needs one though XD it can burn my walls and an wooden desk.

[fluffydude111]

WELL COOL
