crazy timing, i've been designing my own laser illuminator too, might steel a couple of your ideas lol. How come u went with a 780nm laser? i thought 850 was best for nvgs. Also it would be cool to see a video of the unit through ur pvs14 to get a good idea of how the laser and illum preform. Super cool stuff anyways.

@thriftyoperator637 2 года назад

I just got the 780 because it was cheap and available. I tried one other laser but this one was better. I'm going to make a follow up video showing the performance. I started to add the footage, but this video is already 25 minutes, and I didn't want to make it any longer. Come back and drop a link for your design when you finish it.

i have make a similar one from mock peq15 but I use visible led and red laser, for the switch I use 3 switch, momentary, toggle, and 2 way switch, so I can choose between laser and illuminator and make pressure switch from 3.5 mm. cable from speaker

I know this is a year late but I’m remodeling your model and gonna try to do some things to it:) I’m gonna try to make the lense telescopic so you can adjust the hot spot, also I think there may be possibilities in adding a female plug of some sorts to make pressure pads.

@erickalvarez900 Год назад

Love the video, have you looked at any domestic options for the LED and Lasers? The links you got for the ebay items are broken unfortunately, if you had some general specs (wattage, voltage, dimensions etc) that'd be awesome.

@thriftyoperator637 Год назад

I have and unfortunately I can’t find anyone that makes them

@adameungard480 Год назад

Awesome video chief! I've been planning a homemade PEQ for a while now, having some hollowed out airsoft battery box already. My question is, can you recommend any websites for buying basic electronic component like cables, switches, battery receivers, etc? I unfortunately would be unable to drive to any stores.

@thriftyoperator637 Год назад

I got everything off amazon and eBay. There are links below the video to most of the parts.

@SGCXD Год назад

Cool project. Have you looked at modding an airsoft MAWL or PEQ with improved electronics and lights/lasers? Some of the units look pretty nice for less than $100

@thriftyoperator637 Год назад

Not worth putting better internals in a crappy shell for me.

@thomascoker5702 9 месяцев назад

The GokuGear MAWL is an all metal frame with electronics inside. Not sure the strength of the components, but that’s my idea now. Don’t have a 3D printer so I’m looking for a good housing I can tweak.

I'm not making them to sell. I would have to charge too much for it to be worth my time. Look at the Streamlight TLR VIR2 if you want to buy something.

Hey i got a question is the led a 16mm one or a 20mm and i found a similar one that is a 940nm is that better or worse?

@thriftyoperator637 3 месяца назад

It is 16mm. I think a 940 would have less visible glow but wouldn’t apear as bright under night vision.
