Stinger VIP laser VS Poliscan

[hiddenboy]

Looking for some information from Stinger vip owners as to how the laser side of things deal with Poliscan. I've read ALP is and has been doing very well against it, but most information on the VIP is quite dated.

Would like to know:
1. How much advance warning do you get with forward facing (poliscan) setup.
2. Does the VIP JTG
3. Much luck defending against Rear face (poliscan) setups??

Any information would be great!!!!!

The members here from OZ can update you best as they have far more experience w/ the Vitronic Poliscan's than we do here in the USA.
Defending against the Poliscan REQUIRES very special Off-Axis Sensor alignments than the typical install of straight forward facing & perfectly level placement.

as mentioned above catch up on all u can read, nothing is straight forward when the polis is around, regarding Stinger there is only one user vip laser Stinger as i know of ,rest mainly ALP , fronts hits are not to bad rears that's where the fun begins ,range varies to how the angles of polis is set up to road

It's hard to get any reliable testing results that are verifable, right now the best we have when testing against a poli is if we get something in the mail a week or two later. Winterbrew has quite a lot of experience with what works against a Poli.

Personally I would be hesitant to use Stinger laser gear on the rear of my car just due to the depth of it make the recievers and transmitters much harder to hide, right now the gold standard is still the AntiLaser Priority, they are much easier to hide on the rear of a veichle, and are also much more forgiving on placement errors.

I've got no experience with the VIP laser against poliscan, but I did briefly test the old Stinger laser squares using a Stinger Card. I had two succesful runs against a fixed rear facer (the ones in the metal cabinet), and one run against a mobile tripod mounted rear facer where I got flashed, but never received a ticket.

I was runing two laser squares angled out on the back, and one under the passenger door mirror angled out to give maximum response time. I didn't do any front facing tests.

ALP is currently the most reliable and best supported laser solution, that's why most people on here in Oz with VIP's just use the radar side, and go ALP for laser.

Keanu, drop about $8500 in stinger laser kit, that will do the trick.
Will need about 8 fibres and then another 8 receive heads, plus about 4 labs and lots of creative cabling.

Personally, I just would learn situational awareness and maybe not speed past bushes, underpasses or up Turbot street in the city doing 140kph in a 60kph zone.

Otherwise, we have been hearing interesting things about the Blinder HP-905, you can pick them up at a good price too!!!

All options are very valid.

Good luck with Poliscans, hope you got deep pockets.

@hiddenboy
I'm curious about what you are using at the present time on your car ?
Have you received citations in the mail from Poliscans you have passed by ????

Currently have:
Blinder HP905
Stinger VIP (Rader only)
Beltronics STI
1. No i haven't received anything (Touch wood) secondly i try to do my best by behaving on the roads but there are moments where we all get carried away or miss a speed change. Mind you the Blinder has saved me on 3 separate occasions against the LTI trucam on VPN mode i think.
2. I sorta like to know where and when i get pinged or speed checked

So far been very happy with the Blinder HP 905, get enough warning against front facing poliscans and Trucam, but forget it when it comes to Rear shots
