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.
The pair of OD6 goggles that can be bought together with the laser pointer would make reflections safer, but a direct hit in the eyes would still not be safe.
Lasers are fun, but probably not good for image sensors.
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.

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?

Nah, you just need raw power. I mean, you want to avoid that…
