Laser SIG: Ortur Diode Laser

Today’s Laser SIG meeting covered an odyssey many of us have been on. Lasers ordered months ago now seem to be shipping and should be arriving from China soon. A couple of us were fortunate to receive ours before the Novel Corona Virus quarantine. In this session we describe the Ortur diode kaser which people will receive, we show the unboxing and setup and use of the laser, as well as experiences Richard Kremsdorf has had these past two months.

GearBest is where we buy these Ortur lasers.
