I DON'T SELL LASERS! I can not sell any of my handheld lasers over 5mW due to FDA regulations, so please don't ask!
As for my camera, I am shooting with a a Canon SX230 PowerShot in 1080p HD as of July 2011. Before I was using a Canon SD880 PowerShot. Both are great cameras.

FAQ
Q: What do you do?
A: I like to hack everyday things into super powerful lasers. I also make videos of chemistry, fire, and other cool geeky tricks.
Q: Do you sell any lasers?
A: For legal reasons, I do not sell lasers that you see in my videos. In some cases building lasers is perfectly legal (in the US), but selling them is not when the power is over 5mW. In a lot of cases I could legally sell lasers, but I'm all about DIY, so selling you the finished product would just make you lazy. ;)
Q: What got you into making YouTube videos?
A: Besides wanting to feel famous, I enjoyed teaching others about my hobbies. Once I started getting a lot of views, I kept uploading content to keep subscribers interested and to pull more people into this hobby. I would have never guessed that I would have made it to a YouTube partner status at the time I started making videos!
Q: How do you make so many videos?
A: Caffeine.
Q Is (insert company name here) a good company to buy from?
A: If I do not have a review of the specific laser you are inquiring about, then chances are that I know nothing about it.
Q: Why don't you talk in your videos?
A: I feel it is much easier to just read text then to listen. It also makes it easier for me so I don't have to memorize lines. Plus, for non-native English speakers, it is much easier to read text than to decipher speech.
Q: Do I have to wear goggles when using lasers over 5mW?
A YES!
Q: Why didn't you reply to my message?
A: I get way too much mail to keep up with, so even as hard as I try, I cannot keep up with your mail. If you message me, please make the questions simple and straightforward so I can answer them the best I can.
Q: How long have you been messing with lasers?
A: My interest in lasers was sparked when I was 12 when studying light in my science class. After learning about lasers, I saved up money and bought a green laser pointer for $55. I then learned how to modify it to make it stronger, and from there my hobby was born. Over time I researched how lasers worked and how to build them, and to show others what I had learned, I started creating videos. I created this YouTube account when I was 14, and now four years later I have came up with a lot of videos!

thanks mate
I bought a green laser, which was supposed to be 5mW. I tried it in a dark room, and it didn't even show the beam. Then i read on the warning sign that it was <1mW. do u know if that sound true? and how can u measure it?
