I know this was in Belgium and laws are different, but in the US its actually illegal for any audience member to be within 3 ft of the actual device or for the laser to actually be aimed (at any point) towards the audience. Of course for underground raves or clubs this is probably the least of their concern. If it happen is the US and cameras weren't prohibited the camera owner would have recourse against the facility/event. Food for thought...
@sirradiodude Yes interesting indeed. I agree with the US policy - of course cameras were officially prohibited at Werchter too but not really enforced. I got the camera replaced under warranty so it didn't affect me too badly, but I'm not convinced its safe to shine a laser into the audience either.
Did I hear someone say "whoou"? Don't be surprised, high energy lasers can kill image sensors. There are good reasons why cameras aren't allowed at night clubs and you should consider this as one of them.
I hope that they will use more of these lasers at concerts. so ppl will stop blocking the sight with cameras and smartphones.

Common issue with Fuji cameras. On other cameras, lasers leave burnt pixels but on fujis entire sensor is destroyed.

A little too bright for it. It doesn't seem safe for people's eyes either
