![]() ![]() ![]() If this happens, your camera sensor is the least of your worries. If by chance you get any type of unfortunate reflection via the camera viewfinder or other surface, even for a brief moment, you could be damaging your eyes without knowing it. This all adds up to the point I want to make. ![]() I have experience with lasers and I can tell you that those pointers are dangerous.Įven so called 'low power' ones can actually be over spec which means they may claim 1mW or 5mW but could actually be much higher.Īnything above 5mW can cause instant eye damage, before your eye has time to blink or react.Īlso if they're a 'cheap' Chinese green pointer, ie: 532nm then you need to make sure it has a built in IR filter since it's pumped with an IR source to produce 532nm.ĭecent ones usually have IR filters but you can't be sure unless you check or test them.Ī lot of cheep pointers don't have this filter so it leaves you exposed to dangerous levels of invisible IR.Īlso, the only way to know for sure about the power level is to use a proper Laser Pointer Meter.īrightness is no indicator of true power levels.Īnd as we all know various states have different max legal levels, between 1mW and 5mW, nothing over and for good reason. Ben please be aware of the dangers to your eye sight first. ![]()
