    Default Safetyscan lens holder, anyone developed one yet?

    I know Kvant have one for their projectors, no idea when/if Pangolin will have theirs available (I know they'd started a design some time ago)

    Has anyone come up with their own take on it?

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Hi Adam,

    I have the Kvant mount that I use on the small Kvant projector I have. In the absence of anyone else making anything it's quite a good choice. The Kvant mount can be used on other projectors too if you just put two holes in the case to affix two mounting fixings. I've seen a number of users go this route to get something more secure than gaffer tape on the projector!

    I'm surprised that someone hasn't figured out a community mount on here and got a batch made up. - Maybe only a few people are actually using the lenses? Really anyone serious about laser safety and audience scanning should have some of these lenses in their standard kit.

    I do know however, in talking to some of the pro show providers, that there is still a good deal of beam snobbery, and that it's considered a crime to interfere with a collimated beam. So don't. But as I keep saying, a little bit of divergence is better than turning the power down! - I guess most do neither, and hope that no one complains about being hit in the face...

    I think Pangolin's book of words for this product has the dimension details near the back page.

    I could post you a lens up Andy. The problem is they need to be adjustable due to the different thicknesses of lens, although I guess most people will be using the -4 to -6 version.
    I've got -3 to -6 at home, so I could measure the range with some calipers.

    I do know however, in talking to some of the pro show providers, that there is still a good deal of beam snobbery, and that it's considered a crime to interfere with a collimated beam. So don't. But as I keep saying, a little bit of divergence is better than turning the power down! - I guess most do neither, and hope that no one complains about being hit in the face...
    I seriously worry about some of the shots that come up on my Facebook wall periodically. Clearly no lenses, clearly too close and clearly too bright - regardless of all of the unknowns and 'benefit of the doubt', something isn't right!

    Andy, I have some specific requirements for my mounts due to existing front fixings on my projectors, but if you PM me your address I'll get a -4 sent up to you with some info, and we can see if that matches anyone elses requirements too.
