Powerfull hand held lasers can damage cameras, by pointing the laser at the lens.
Careful with reflections though!
Gotta use the right protective glasses for whatever powerful laser pointer you got. Powerful ones can fuck up your eyes even off of reflected surfaces.
Yep and don't forget people, those stray reflections may not only be hitting you. Be aware of your surroundings.
Also, be sure to check that the sky is clear if you need to aim up.
