Thanks for the quick tip! I think it's also important to point out that lasers are cones that get wider at distance. Not sure how many manufacturers actually include divergence values in their manuals but at longer ranges, it becomes more critical to know where the center of that cone is.
Simple subject and well delivered, love the idea of adding a sticker with the laser ping area on it to the focus knob - thank you from Australia for all you do for the community
@@swamper2fly There are lots of YT vids covering the removal of the IR filter from various cell phones, so if you've got an old cell phone in a drawer you might find a video of how to remove the IR filter from the phone. Then you'll have a REAL infrared camera. The filter is just a piece of red colored glass that you have to remove from the front of the camera. It sits between the cmos and the lens.

Short and sweet but very helpful, thanks mate, cheers Yogi ✌️🇦🇺
Awesome tip. Much faster way then how I figured it out. Trial and error….
One tip I heard was to aim at the ground at the base of your target.
Nice tip
Or... just use night vision goggles to actually SEE the laser. Even an old cell phone with the IR filter removed.
How does one remove the IR filter.

Does it hit in same place at all distances?
👍👍👍👋🤝
Whoda’ thunk it. Good tip
