    Not at all. It would be an absolute shame if someone took a laser to them.

      Just curious. What types of lasers should I definitely not point at a camera. ? Like specifically the wavelength. Asking for a friend.

        Wavelength isn’t very important but something around 445-555nm is easily absorbed, accessible and pretty. Strength is way more important. Something well made, focused and above 2000mW like this should never be pointed at a camera.

        It could also easily and INSTANTLY damage eyes PERMANENTLY, even the reflections. It should be treated with the same respect as a firearm.

          That’s pretty cheap to take one of those dangerous bad boys off the market and ensure nobody ever points it at a camera!

          Are there glasses I can wear in case someone else is using one of these while I’m out and about?
