Hi all,

Has anyone ever use this lasergenetic product? Is it any good?

Do you know where can I get it in the UK?

Cheers

Scott Country do them : http://www.scottcountry.co.uk/products-Laser-Genetics-ND3x50-Laser-Designator-Night-Vision-4289.htm

They seem to be quite popular, and there are other people making homebrew versions with adjustable mounts and a green laser illuminator from Odicforce : http://odicforce.com/shop/article_OFL23/Green-Laser-Illuminator-30mW.html?shop_param=cid%3D4%26aid%3DOFL23%26

YMMV

The jury is out on these. We had 2 at the NV meeting last Saturday. One was the Laser Genetic and the other was a cheepo copy. I didn't see the side by side comparison but was later told by somebody that the cheepo copy was better. I have gone and bought a cheepo copy cos it was cheap and it should arrive in a month so I can do a review then.

I think, and this is personal opinion only, that the claim that rabbits don't see it is rubbish. They don't associate danger with it but after a couple of times they will. I think it has the potential to be a good replacement for a light, being small and lightweight. But again ask me after I have tried mine.
I also heard that one of the units suffered from poor preformance in the cold weather, possibly the ND3 and that this was overcome by the ND5.
It depends what you want to get out of the unit. Lightweight and long distance? or hoping the rabbits won't see the beam.

Have you got a name/link to the cheap copy?

The cheap copy will probably be the ND-30 that is commonly available on the bay of e. Search for "ND-30" which should also bring up an adjustable mount suitable for a 25mm body torch or designator.

Personally I would get the Odicforce illuminator, it's a shame they don't have a suitable mount.

Does anyone know exactly how these things work? If I understood correctly, these are regular point laser with that extra lens that distribute the laser point to different angles which then result in more of a flash-light/torch effect.

If this is the case...I wander if they only sell the extra lens so we can plug that into a regular laser sight.

Well I bought this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290597293982?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

but I have no clue as to whether it will be a pile of pooh or not. shipping time is about 4 weeks.
and you can buy a figure 8 from someone for £6 on the evil bay as well to mount it.
