Most laser accidents in the workplace happen to professors or engineers who have a lot of experience around systems, they think there is no way they could get hurt.
 





If you want to make a video or photos of a laser, just take the batteries out. Capturing the casing, electronics or optics is usually done with the laser unpowered, unless you want to show the beam as well - i which case i'd suggest both goggles and not waving it around... the latter also to prevent destorying your camera.
 
Well, check my review for this laser and you will understand. I had to power the laser etc. This video is the part that has been cut from the original one in the review. Check it out and you will see ;)

The goggles work really well for both wavelengths btw

Yours,

Sweet! I appreciate the info, I'll be ordering these ASAP now. Do you have any recommendations for red goggles?

Unfortunately not. I did however send focalprice a product request for red safety glasses. Hopefully they'll start stocking them in the near future.
 
Depending on how much light you saw, I'd see an eye doctor to be sure you're fully OK. Or measure the OD and be sure how much you could have seen.
 
Already checked on the LPM. The amount of light after the goggles is far from 5mW ;)

@SMIDSY: Experience teaches one. I've read about so many disgraces already to not wear them ;)
 
Good to hear :) Anyway, good video to demonstrate the importance of safety goggles, being Realy Carefull doesn't prevent accidents, but goggles do protect against them.
