NEW LENS from AixiZ- ( and other items) LQQKY
hello from Dr Chuck at AixiZ and Hak
NEW LENS from AixiZ-
http://aixiz.com/
So far all tests have shown this single glass element (brass lens nut)--lens to be broadband AR coated- SO aside from 400-to-450nm- this may be a great choice for other colors--
'Gadget' Kev got a 5% increase in power(445) over the standard 'G' lens (G2 or G9)- And
'Jay' (Houston)found his A2 lens sample to be only 1% lower than the 40$ G 2series
....to avoid confusion between these two sources and the GB sources and the 'No -Like' version I am calling these A2 (for AixiZ) they are $8 each- and the best way to order and MAYBE get free shipping is to order at aixiz.com
.....or just call Chuck on his personal cell at 713 240 4929- best to be on-line at the webstore( between 9am and 11 am weekdays -central time) and be sure to check out ALL the new items as you may save on shipping with a bigger order-- catching my eye was the several 'sockets' for diodes eliminating the need to solder the pins- great for testers..
(REMEMBER Laser Bugs??) and making for quick replacement or the addition of a Lasorb ( also at aixiz) one even has 20 inch long leads (3 wires ) attached- these were made for the 5.6 can but MIGHT work for 3.8 and/or 9mm and C mounts too.
If not listed (now)AixiZ will have some optics- and a nice MM1 mount with ez adjustment by hand. So at the store check 'new items' & laser accessories'-
AixiZ still has the ~30mW green 515 nm module ready to use-(~5vdc)driver is potted inside a standard 12X30 AixiZ module-- I have run one for more than an hour with n/ps-
bit of info
Both AixiZ and Jordan (DTR) have had many issues with Greedbay and Scamazon- & Pay(too much)Pal ..so afaik both like us to avoid using any of these- I suggest asking them which way to pay is best-for THEM--
There is NO need to worry about paying these two great sources for what they sell- saving them a small % comes back to us in the form of better prices-(or offers of free shipping)- Most are so used to paying by PP that they have become complacent--and are only thinking about an eazy/lazy way to pay that costs nothing when in reality we DO pay more to vendors forced to use PP--
I have been asked (again) to do a Group Buy for these lenses BUT AixiZ pretty much gives us GB prices and there is not much left to offer us aside from free shipping -the last two GBs for 'G' took a LONG time to finish (& of course we had to pay upfront & wait) and the savings, while great, compared to other G lens prices was in line with the AixiZ prices today for even just one lens--
JETLASERS has some now and will be giving me the results of using this lens for the now highest power 9mm Blue diodes making 3 W-( AND all lasers they make)- so I think those building a big blue may want to try these lenses--
I can still get any forum friend a discount on QS or Beyond--
just PM me--
IF you are looking for VERY tiny lasers for your RC aircraft AixiZ has many including a 1mW red that is likley the world's smallest laser module. (AFAIK an exclusive AixiZ item)
AixiZ has tiny 405s also-at ~5mW- and R/G modules that make a line too.
here is link to new hybrid scanners- that AixiZ had made from hand chosen parts while they were in China- so these 30K are NOT excatly like any scanners one can find==
see them here:

I do see a difference between the pic at AixiZ and the scanners I took to show at SELEM- the pic does NOT show the very nice mode screen-( thus no dippy dip switches) I will check this out to be certain.
here is the lens link w/ specs
http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...roducts_id/461
I will confirm asap how well this new lens works with green diode lasers as well as the reds--
but ATM this is what I expect--
AixiZ Multi-Band AR Lens 400-700nm single element
[AD-9GL-MFL] at ONLY $8 each-(atm less than 200 in
stock)
here is just one of the new sockets

And here--
http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...products_id/57
If you were going to bin diodes having one of these would be very very helpful
http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...products_id/57
this version has 20 inch leads( these came from laser printers-
ONLY $4.50 each
last item ( not really new)
If you want to surround/protect your 12x30 module and $$ diode in a HUGE 4+ounce chunk of Al. here is one FS at $18.95 each (which were custom made for a buyer)-- the fit is NEAR perfect- but for added security it has a set grub/screw and IIRC comes with the right allen wrench too
standard 1/4th threaded holes on the bottom one inch center

IF you have need for one made differently PM me & I will find out the cost for them--
http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...roducts_id/424
and i had one of these at SELEM- wanted to demo at the Lumia session but time ran out-- sorry
http://www.aixiz.com/store/product_i...roducts_id/459
this is the smallest ('store bought')12vdc RGB/white module i have ever seen-- you could put more than one inside a small case- For Lumia I was amazed- I kinda expected to see white laser Lumia but it was MANY colors including white--
I have one here with me- If a member(vet) wants it and will do a fair and honest testing review I can send ONE CONUS for actual cost to ship (CONUS only please) and $99 usd- (If you insist on PP add 4%)- it has been only used a very few times- I would say less than 2 hours total- still under warranty--
BTW it has TTL for R-G-B and White-- and takes 12vdc-- so great for a port-a-lumia--IF you can source a vdc slo motor- I had no luck finding one - The Hankscraft 1/2 rpm that Greg likes (me too)
is never found cheap - but being able to reverse is cool- however being able to adjust the speed on this motor is the bigger draw for me--at 1vdc it runs less than 1/10th rpm and as you add power the RPM increases- thus you could adjust on the fly to go better with your Lumia music-- I will host a GB for these if interested AND if I can find a decent source- slowing with gears is a PITA IMO--
so for me i will stick with my SShed 1/3 rpm AC motors and have many here in stock as well as many kinds of Lumia glass- flat (cut round and edges ground to your specs- from 1 inch to 3.75 inches) or Texas size torture tubes and nice lumia light bulbs too- I will be soon having 'Rhode Island' size tubes EXTREMELY tiny for very small Lumia PJs--
