Thanks Crisillo This one sounds the right title.

Ok here goes

Only beamshots and discription and link to build thread.
, no comments start a thread for comments

Emitter = 6 XPE Q5 leds

Mods -Can we please have a beamshot thread made sticky
like the diy database one
with only beamshots and emmitter / optic specs

If you agree register your interest here

Quite a good idea Mr Trout :thumbsup:

IMHO everyone beamshot should be made with the same camera settings.
e.g. MTBR shootout settings http://www.mtbr.com/beamcomparisoncrx.aspx

"camera settings: full manual, ISO-100, Exposure-6 seconds, Aperture-F4.0, Focus-Manual, White Balance-Daylight"

 

[crisillo]

thread stuck! :thumbsup:

 

[tobymack]

great idea!

emitter: MCE M bin.
Optic: Rocket SS
driver: 1A buckpuck in 2s2p giving 500mA per die.

near enough standard camera settings.

Distance to shrubs at the back is around 100 feet.

Does anyone know how to change the exposure and whatnot on my canon SD850IS? I don't think it's possible but maybe it is...

Here are some I took last night. F2.8, ISO200, exposure time 1 second, it just happened to use these settings, I didn't change anything.

Just google the user manual.... I found this in the PDF. I didn't read the whole thing but this gives the basics...

Here's my first creation, built per this thread:

https://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=502149

Beamshot:



I forgot to check ISO (it was 200) and WB (crap, I have to go turn on the camera). It was 6 sec @ f4.5 and the grape post is ~20 feet away w/ the fence ~45 feet.

Triple XR-E R2 with Ledil, Carlco, and DX1920 optics compared

This is my first build, an achesalot design using 3 x XR-E R2 WC tint, running at 1000ma using buckpuck. All shots taken using DSLR - 6 seconds, F4, ISO 100, whitebalance = daylight.

The soccer goal is 40' away and the yucca tree is another 90' past that.

The images are in this order:

- control
- comparison using MTE SSC P7 torch
- 3 x DX 1920 optics
- Carclo optics - 2 x ripple medium + 1 x plain tight
- Ledil optics - 2 x CRS-M + 1 x CRS-SS

** Control **

** comparison using MTE SSC P7 torch **

** 3 x DX 1920 optics **

** Carclo optics - 2 x ripple medium + 1 x plain tight **

** Ledil optics - 2 x CRS-M + 1 x CRS-SS **
