So my other half is in to ghost hunting and has one of those laser pointers that shines a grid of dots so you can detect movement.

The problem is that it has a button that must be kept pressed for the laser to operate and this means that you hold it and the dots are always moving.

The solution, make a stand that can hold the laser securely with an on/off switch.

This is my make to solve the problem. If any one find it useful, please enjoy.

Insert the laser and twist to turn on/off. Make sure it is pushed all the way up until it stops.

Just to add, this is for a AAA laser pointer.
