mistakes to avoid + good resources for circuit bending newbie

Hi everyone, i’m new to circuit bending and i’m interested to start experimenting with cameras first.

I wanted to ask if there are any beginner mistakes I should avoid when circuit bending cameras. And also if there's any good resources or guides you’d recommend for learning?

I’m planning to start with cheap/budget cameras first since I don’t want to spend too much or accidentally ruin anything expensive while learning. (i'm expecting to definitely screw up the first few times)

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance :)
