    Default LPF strikes back!

    We sometimes bash Laserpointerforums and pointer-jockeys around here but this time I found a couple of really impressive miniature RGV-builds using the PHR-blu ray slead optics and also an add-on that is a small driver/PWM-box to do various common effects. The video also have some RGV lumia action!

    They even have tutorials and kits for sale. Pretty nice work!

    Yeah they've been selling those things for a while. Although the popularity of them is probably gaining compared to when they were first released.

    I thought it looked too ugly and too much like a model airplane engine to be able to justify spending like $300 on it...

    It's creative, but TBH if they went to all the effort of making those nice mounts, why bother using the brittle PHR sled??

    The PHR sled has all the mirrors they need already mounted - saves them having to make mounts for the mirrors too. Three of us including myself were trying to come up with some tiny mounts that would make for a super small RGV setup - but in the end it just wasn't worth the time and money it would cost to make such mounts.
