Could ALP be this sensitive ?..(video)

I think it alerts just before the red car passes it, so probably scatter from further up.

The beam is pointing down the road (35 deg across), away from my car, to catch the back of my car as I drive past it.

Winterbrew,

Sorry for digging in an old thread. I'm new to this game and I'm asking as many questions as I can.

Do you have your ALP heads mounted facing straight ahead or at some angle to the sides? I'm mostly concerned about passing a laser gun mounted on the side of the road at too steep of an angle to JTG. (quad setup 2f/2r on a VW Jetta)

Thanks.

No worries - my front heads are about 7 degrees out angle for front facing poliscan, which still gives JTG performance against LTI (100 / 125 pps and TruSpeed) handhelds that we encounter here. I would not recommend more than 10 degrees out angle on the front, as when I drew up the ALP beam divergence angles in AutoCad, anything more than 10 deg opens up an area around centre mass/licence plate were the beams no longer overlap

I have a ques. to ask of you.
Are you located in an area that uses Poliscans ?
There are also disadvantages to "angling" Sensors if there is risk of you encountering certain modern Lidar guns.

Winterbrew,

Thanks for the info. I have found it very hard to get reliable info on mounting the heads at a angle. It seems to be a consensus to mount them straight, but my engineer gut keep telling me otherwise.
What about your rear heads, are they mounted at the same 7 degrees out?

RedRocket,

Biggest threat are:

Lasertech 20/20 or digicam mounted on the side of the road on tripod (80% of the time) (rear and front facing), sometimes at an steep angle. 20% of the time are LEOs operating the same guns by hand, again, from the side of the road.



Any advice?

I was thinking on 5 degress out. As I don't want to lose protection from straight ahead.

Here are example of tickets issued by those guns:
