I really like that it runs over the bore axis. Hope this actually comes to market. At 1600 it’s price competitive with DBAL D2. Maybe the new Holosun IRIS can manage to push these other offerings a bit lower as well.

1500 for civilian laser, 1650 for full power laser.

Happy to help!

VCSEL for $1600 is not bad at all, very cool unit. Sensible design choices. Clear cerakote would be super slick!

Thank you for covering this booth!! Nice to see something actually interesting. Definitely want to check this out when it comes out in some numbers

Absolutely. I'm interested to see how it stacks up against the other VCSELs on the market (or coming soon).

Looking forward to this more than the Holosun IRIS! Thanks for shooting this video!

I hope it lives up to the hype and that they are able to meet market demand. If this thing ends up being D2/MAWL competitor at that price and size... New industry standard imo.

Z Bolt rules. I'm running their IR light head and that thing at under $300 EASILY matches a D2 in output / clarity. This is exactly the stuff we need for the 2A community to remove the domination of fed contract focused companies charging 3-5k for equivalent LAMs. More civilian first products.

Nice. We are going to need a comparison of this and the bew holosun iris. Looks like one of these will get my money

Yep, that is what we need.

After the video of the IRIS showing disappointing performance was released, I was hoping this would turn out well. So far it looks pretty impressive. Being willing to work with 3rd parties to make accessories right away shows a good level of awareness. I have some small nitpicks with the design but quite frankly any improvement to the civ IR laser market is welcome.

They definately have interest from non-US military/police, but for civilians, I'm not sure. I asked John and he said they'd like to provide it to civilians everywhere, but there are some legal complications depending on the country. US civilians are the first priority.

Had a ZBolt in early GWOT!!

@@danielhendley9878 Funny thing is, it looks like every other vcsel unit like the C1, DIR-V, KIJI which equal a full power peq15 in output which people hold in high regard. The difference you'll see with the Blazer and likely ACAL is how wide the beam can be focued so you get that same illumination over a significant span at distance. You can check out our video on the unreleased Z-Bolt VCSEL Blazer to get an idea of Z-Bolt illuminator performance.
