I recently order a Laser speed LS-FL5. It's currently being shipped but I'll do some testing and a review once received. If it holds zero and the specs are accurate I think it could be a great unit.



From their website:

?MAIN SPECIFICATIONS

? IR Laser :830nm,high mode: 22±2mw,low mode:1.5±0.5mw

? IR Light:830nm,high mode: 27±2mw,low mode:1.5±0.5mw

? Green Laser:520nm ,5±1mW

? Operating Temp.: -20? to +55?

? Dimensions: L:110mm/W:77mm/H:37mm

? Material: Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy, 6061-T6

? Net Weight: 297g

? Battery Type: 18650 1pc.

Link here if you want to check it out

On a side note it appears to be nearly identical to the Newcon Optik Lam4G. Not sure if it's a clone or possibly the OEM for newcon.

$550 shipped, I had to talk directly with the manufacturer via email. They do "samples" aka 1 unit, but they really want to do minimum orders of 10. If it's a good unit I'd be happy to organize a group buy if there's any interest.

any of the somogear have good IR lasers and mediocre (brighter than US made civilian models but not nearly FP levels) illuminators. illuminators don't go wide enough imo and if they did they wouldn't have enough power to be useable at outdoor ranges beyond 25-50 meters. also the alignment adjustments in the illuminator kinda suck.  its useable toy grade stuff IMO.

My somogear came apart today.  Rifle took a waist height spill and one of the illuminator dials busted inwards + the battery housing got screwed up.

I took it apart and was actually able to get it back together but the absolutely terrible way they do the battery connections was causing me a bunch of hassle with poor connections and no easy way to solder it.   The housing sort of disintegrated as I took it art and put it back together (particularly the screw mounts).   I sort of glued it back together and it functions but its basically fucked.   Gonna either sell it for parts on eBay or just keep it around for comparison filming.  Dunno, pretty bummed.

Certainly my fault, but just be aware the plastic housing isn't particularly sturdy.  Think I'm gonna buy a ctf 2 to replace it.

Update on the CQBL-1 on a 22LR.

Put about 250 rds thru my AR22 SBR today.

Sited in my vortex crossfire on a airsoft Unity riser (highly recommend) and then  zeroed the CQBL-1 to it.

It has no click adjustment feedback and the adjustments are extreme. Didn’t take but 2-3 degrees of rotation on the adjustment knob to move the Point of aim at 25yards 1-2’.

Once zeroed held zero for duration of shooting session. Time will tell.

I did notice the constant on would turn off due to recoil a 22SBR. But if holding down the tape switch it would stay on. So that kinda sucks.

So far probably wouldn’t recommend this particular unit for 22lr use unless they have upgraded it since I purchased mine which was 4-5mo ago.

Just received the ls5 today, so far I'm very impressed. The unit seems to be extremely well built, vero positive clicks on the adjustment and seems to be just as high quality as any Steiner or holosun I've owned. There is a slight delay between clicking the button and the unit activating.

Can you weigh the thing?  The website lists it as weighing something like 10.8 ounces if I remember correctly.

Any comments on pressure pad integration?  Does it come with one?  Does it have a plug port or is it only button activated?

Post some pics man!  Super curious to see what this thing looks like.  How's the mount that it comes with?

I'll try and get you a weight and some more pics of the actual unit tomorrow. I plan to do a full review after I get a few rounds in with it. So far is pretty legit. It does include a pressure pad, but it's weird. Not a standard crane plug but a three prong system. The included one is like three separate buttons wired in series and covered with rubber, very odd. The built in button is very nice, nice click, but with a slight delay as said. It might be an issue if you're a high speed door kicker but I don't think it would really be an issue for most of us. The mount is nice and sturdy, locks up on the rail great. It also sits very low which is nice, almost can't see the unit looking through an eotech 553.




The mailbox is at approx 150 yards. I apologize for the shitty phone pics.


as you can see the vis light lacks throw but has a lot of spill, it would be fine for 50 - 75 yards.














The FL5 illuminator is extremely clean and bright. It appears brighter than the somogear peq and the lasers look to be about the same.

It's as wide as it goes in the pics. I have an early gen SG peq and the FL5 is quite a bit wider. I wish it would open just a tiny bit more but it's very useable as is. I will try to figure out how to measure it.

The LS5 weight sounds like it's about the same as a DBAL plus separate vis light. So you aren't really paying a weight penalty.

Have you contacted them about the button delay?

The same can be said for the Perst series.  I think people have made their way around that deficiency.  I do very much like US pressure pads for certain applications so I hear ya.

I think this unit/manufacturer needs its own thread.  Very interesting.

I've been told the connector type is a M8 3 pin circular connector, and that you can modify a surefire switch to be compatible. I will say that the built-in button is in a good spot and the unit sits low enough it's comfortable to use IMO.

The Somogear PEQ 15 clone's issue is that the IR illuminator is very tight with very little spill, but I could definitely see someone making a diffuser replacement cap that would remedy that issue.  

Has anyone tried the Villain Weapon Systems (VWS) Enhanced Narrow Diffuser for the real PEQ15 on the Somogear clone?  I'd be highly interested to see if that works.

Had it for a week so here are some initial impressions about my unit:

It feels like a 1:1 of the real UHPs I’ve had.

It is in fact full power as advertised.

It does have positive clicks for both the lasers and the illuminator however, there is some slip in between the clicks.

It does use real crane plugs.

Playing with the illuminator at night I did notice some fish eye effect in the Illuminator. Wiped the lense and it still persists.

Here an image of the SG, and an image of a the last real UHP I had. As stated they feel identical. The anodizing is a bit off on the metal bits (it always is on China clones) but so far so good. Hopefully here in a few weeks I can get off to the range and see if it holds zero.

If you're just using the vis laser it's about as bright as the somo, you can see a solid beam at night. If using the vis light + laser you can't see the beam, just the dot on target.

Brassfacts has his somogear peq review up on YouTube for this interesred. Sounds like he's got about 2k rounds on his and no issues with the laser holding zero but did run into issues with the windage knob on the illuminator getting stuck.
Link Posted: 10/15/2022 9:03:22 AM EDT

I think his review was pretty fair and balanced.  And the round count speaks for itself.  There is an "immediate action" drill for the wind/elev drums on the website.  You have to wind them a certain way to "un-stick" them sometimes.  If you wind the two drums up a certain way it can bind up the springs, causing a "jam".  

I think the upshot of it is they do work with 5.56, but might not be as durable as the original.  I mean that's pretty much it.

When a Airsoft PEQ15 Beats A Real One : Somogear Peq15

Yes, I've seen friends use them all the time. These cheap weapon IR devices, and other accessories knockoffs are getting better every day. Most still won't hold zero after some rough use, but there are a few now that will hold zero even after several hundred rounds. QA is still hit or miss on these, but its only a matter of time before they are no longer "airsoft" IR devices.

ATM, for small stuff like 22LR, etc, they are a great alternative, IMO. Why buy an IR accessory that costs twice the cost of the gun? Same for scopes, etc...

Also, they are great toys for getting kids to learn how the real thing works... without risk of damaging the real steel.

Then there is the the fact that these places where they are made don't care/ignore ethics, copyright, patents, et. all, which allows them produce them in large volumes for dirt cheap, release them, then people will beta test them for them, for free, via Amazon reviews, or other sites (like this site), posting reviews about their bad, what they lack, etc, thus helping improve their IR accessories for free...

This seems like it will eventually lead to the demise of the US manufactured IR devices. This already happened with radios and other electronic devices back in the 70s/80s with Japan... at first they were called "junk" but they quickly became "not junk" and then slowly became "good" until they are now called "high end" etc.

Sucks that the visible laser wasn't coaligned with his unit.

Hopefully that is something they can correct with their NGAL version.  If these hold zero, can coalign the viz/ir, and accept a crane plug that's pure win. In terms of the diffuser, has anyone with one of these tried the Villain Weapon Systems' PEQ-15 Enhanced Narrow Diffuser on it?

I've heard of people trying the real diffusers. the one that comes on the somogear isn't a diffuser its just a block off cap.

Laserspeed has also been around, and making IR devices for about a decade that I recall.

Their products vary from clone like toys, to slightly theoretically improved designs, to unique designs like the FL5.

Years ago I purchased a $200 dbal like device from them, it lasted a very short time before the adjustment turrets (with clicks) launched themselves off of the device due to the spring tension under them.

Well had a buddy order an IS NGAL so we shall see.  It's like somebody was paying attention to the market and made what we've all been asking for, although they felt free to raise the price as well.  

Opinions vary widely, but I think SG and IS are really bringing out some decent, usable kit, as opposed to all the airsoft grade crap.  I think there is much prejudice against "airsoft grade" equipment, as well as "made in China".  Guys have seen "FMA", "Emerson", or "WADSN" equipment, and just decided it's all junk, no need to bother.  I would submit that Somo Gear and Invisble Sight are different.  SG was the first step, in that they kept an "airsoft" identity, but IS is making no bones about being 5.56 AND 7.62 recoil rated.  And if you consider the recent price increases, IS is 1/2 the price of a PEQ-15/ATPIAL, and the NGAL is what, 1/5 the cost of a real NGAL, if you could get it at all.  So maybe this is the intersect between quality and price.

For those who have purchased the somo gear PEQ-15, would you mind sharing some pics of it mounted?

$550 shipped, I had to talk directly with the manufacturer via email. They do "samples" aka 1 unit, but they really want to do minimum orders of 10. If it's a good unit I'd be happy to organize a group buy if there's any interest.

How much was it?  How do you even order it?

I’m definitely interested and would put up the cash just to try it out.

Can someone link a new video to the delay issue. The link seems dead and I want to see how bad that delay is. Thanks
