Laser eye protection question.

Yes gozert is right, tripods with clamps. Here are my tripods: http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/targus-tripod-88257.html
Yes that photo is really me. If you're taking a photo put the laser in a tripod. Otherwise have both hands free to handle the laser. If you use anything class 4 inside especially if you put it in a tripod take care what it's pointed at because it can be a real fire hazard. I do use powerful lasers inside and quickly learned extreme caution is required.

Even a clamp to keep the pointer from rolling is usually fine, as long as you know it's somewhere that it won't fall off. A clamp in each end may be a good idea for extra stability. If you know the beam won't move or hit a reflective surface then you should be safe without goggles.

Of course, if you are burning anything or you are viewing the dot close up, wear goggles!

What kind of laser is this?

I am asking because there is a chance your
30mW laser may not be a 30mW laser, but a
150mW laser.

I hope you're not actually serious about covering one eye with a patch. You're probably better off selling your lasers and never touching one again if you're that afraid to get blinded by one.

OK, I should have put in the little smile face to let others know I was being sarcastic. Allowing yourself to go blind in one eye is about as smart as allowing yourself to cut off one hand. :evil:


I have and use the proper laser safety glasses.
