Watch a RED EPIC Sensor Get Fried by a Laser

July 13, 2013 By Eric Reagan

We’ve posted these warnings before. The cool lasers at concerts will fry your camera’s sensor. Previous warnings have come in the form of Canon 5D Mark II and other HDSLRs getting cooked. This time, however, a RED EPIC (about a $20k camera) got fried at a concert.

RED EPIC

Here’s what the image from the RED EPIC looked like before the laser hit:

And, here’s what the image form the RED EPIC looked like after it was hit by a laser:

I’ve been asked to record concerts over the past couple years since I originally saw this horror, and my first question is always, “Will you have lasers during the concert?”

Keep your cameras safe folks.
