In my latest public video I tested two laser power meters with strong lasers from 20 to 1500 mW. But what if I test them with a weak laser pointer well under 5 mW? Not as easy as it sounds, since e...

Time to find out if the unbranded, cheap laser power meter is any good. At $79 including shipping, my expectations were set low. However, if it is better than not having a laser power meter at all,...
