Beam Pointer – A dot that stays legible at the far side of an open field

An aluminum-bodied pointer with a turning head for focus, an internal cell charged over USB, and a lock operated by key. Outdoors the beam holds its shape over long distances, which is what makes it workable for stargazing or marking a target at range. It measures 16.7 cm and comes in at roughly 200 g.

Why choose this beam pointer?

Two things decide whether a pointer is worth carrying: where the dot lands and whether anyone can still see it. Turning the head tightens the beam for distance or opens it up indoors, and the alloy shell handles life in a backpack. The key lock means it only works when you intend it to.

Focusing head: twist to move between a broad spot and a tight point
Range performance: the concentrated beam stays visible well into the distance
Alloy housing: aerospace-grade aluminum that shrugs off knocks
USB cell: recharges from the same cable as everything else you carry
Key lock: the unit will not fire until it is unlocked

Small enough for a chest pocket, built like a tool.

Give it a full charge before the first outing and keep it locked whenever it is not in your hand. Never point the beam toward people, animals, vehicles or aircraft, and store it out of reach of children. Small turns of the focus ring do more than large ones.
