Agreed! I see Back-Bone offers MFT mounts for the GoPro 11 and 12, I'd love to try that out!
@retrothing3 ай бұрын
It’s excellent. I’ve got a modded 10 and the MFT mount makes it even easier to mount larger lenses. Of course there are C mount adapters for practically everything, but MFT makes life a lot easier - and cheaper. Backbone does such a nice job with the mod that I don’t know what GoPro themselves could do better… except dumb it down somehow since consumer products are all they know.

@@retrothing just like red and smallrig they could work together and officially offer something with the 8mm look right now you have to void warranty, try around buy overlays and plugins if the 8mm look would be inside the gopro app it would make it simply way more convenient imo. also with mass production the price could go down i think

Or just buy a split camera for fpv and put it inside a broken super 8 camera to use the lens assembly . or use the cinepi project with the global shutter sensor and do the same. Also old CCD cameras that have video work too. panasonic fz48/47 being my favorite for that, depends if you're ok with 25fps europe version , US will probably be 30. But you can find the service manual with instructions on how to change location I thing, I'm from Europe so It was 25fps already . Some canon and JVC cameras have 24fps video in CCD but for 720p, a1200 for canon and I forgot what jvc. Went down a big rabbit hole with this a few years ago and bought these cameras for around £10-20.

@@VietinghoffAlex I don’t know, I got a pi4 off eBay for my stuff . And to be fair why spend the money on anything else , especially since it’s cheaper. What would be cool would be some new sensors, maybe something bigger. Like the arducam global shutter one. There’s another cool pi camera project for webcams , another KZbin channel forgot the name Jeff something has a good script on that one. And looking through the readme files on their git they might have bigger sensor support. They use a pi zero , that’s way smaller. Another thing I’d love to have would be log gamma , and I’ll have to read the manual on that one , because there’s got to be a way to modify picture profiles. Although I’m not sure now but the pi5 might have more data lanes to the sensor so maybe we can get better resolution when it gets up and running on that platform. Honestly the sensor to cpu part of it is new electronics to me . They have their own protocols and configurations that require a lot of research. I got a bit into that with ccd but nothing bar a few Wikipedia entries with modern sensors. Spoiler alert there are good reasons video took off on cameras only after cmos sensors 😂😂😂😂, and the ones that did it on ccds, were rarely pure ccds.

Why did you put a film emulation on the digital footage? If your goal was to compare a vintage lens on an 8mm camera vs. the GoPro, slapping a film filter over the GoPro footage makes the comparison moot. We can't see the differences. Why don't you just denoise the 8mm footage while you're at it?

The purpose was to specifically see how they compare as a Super 8-type camera. I also have a bunch of footage in there from the GoPro without the emulation.
