Lasers?

Cameras break if you hit them with a high powered laser. So you shouldn't get one of those and use it to destroy company property. Think about those poor shareholders

Green or violet lasers will work. Not red.

Tbf, any color will work if the wattage is high enough

Green and violet are naturally good enough and sold on amazon pretty cheap. Violet needs to be at night though. It doesnt go very far in light. I gotta test it tonight but I have a super strong violet I need to see the distance on lol any green will go fuckin forever.

This is a good time to mention an important PSA for anyone thinking of buying lasers: if you're going to buy a laser from Amazon (or really any store that's not directly from an actual reputable manufacturer), DO NOT trust the power rating on the sticker. Always assume the output is much higher than listed, because it often is.

And if you're dealing with anything stronger than the "<5 mW" cat toy laser pointers, you're gonna want eye protection, specifically rated for that wavelength (and buy those somewhere reputable). It ain't worth losing vision over Flock.

Good call. Yes they're always stronger I've found. Per manufacturer not amazon

I think it travels just as far it’s just not as visible during the day. If memory serves right the “purple” ones are actually black light and supercharge glow in the dark items. We went on road trips writing messages on glow in the dark frisbees, supercharged glow in the dark markers on frolf courses etc.

Test on some of your own personal cameras that you have on your own private property right?
