How To Convert A Digital Camera To A Nightvision Camera! (Part 1)
This is a tutorial on how to take out the IR filter in a digital camera so that you can use it with IR lights and use it as a Nightvision Camera!
What should you look for when buying digital slr cameras and photographic equipment. All major manufacturers make great quality cameras and they all take bea...
Actually yes but you need a full spectrum light for it to see the full spectrum. I don't deal with full spectrum lights because they are bad for your health and can blind you if you look into one. Thats why Ghost Hunters and other paranormal shows barely use them and if they do, they are standing BEHIND the light and not looking at it.
Once you do this once, you get used to what you do and don't do with these. Check out my latest video where I took the IR filter out of a Cell Phone! And now with some IR lights, you can have a Homemade Nightvision Cell Phone!!
hey cool info yeah thoses little parts are easy to lose lol im thinking of finding a cheap camera and doing that and be extremely careful and watch what im doing lol
hi mike very informative video, im going from a luminx which broke, to a canon eos 600d would you recommend this as a good place to start the entry into dslr thanks phil
Ah Ha - I missed those. There's a film about choosing a tripod at /watch?v=CW_mb2yNm9Y - but to be honest I've never given much thought to memory cards. I once used an expensive (fast) one which a friend lent me but didn't notice any difference in my camera's performance.
Hello Mike... I found your channel a week ago and I must say that you are have become my favorite. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and taking time to create these great tutorials.
Regarding this video... could it be possible to create a second part to discuss the pros and cons of crop and full sensor cameras?
You can use any camera provided it has a large enough file size (check iStock's requirements) The most important thing is your skills as a photographer. Also check to see what kind of images sell the best and shoot accordingly.
Mike, love the videos, I find them really helpful. When looking at a DSLR, the full-frame Nikons were out of my price-range and I didn't want the hassle of replacing a worn-out shutter. The D5100 has the same sensor as the more expensive D7000. Shooting raw, I don't worry too much about white balance and I've set up the Fn button for ISO. Buying 2nd hand whilst saving money can always be a gamble and I like having the two year warranty which you don't get from Ebay.
Hi - The only thing I'd add to the video would be to buy a second hand higher end DSLR rather than and 'entry level' one because the controls you need (ISO, white balance, shutter, aperture) will be buttons on the body instead of being buried away in a menu somewhere. There are plenty of well loved used cameras out there... - Hope this helps. Mike
Hi, could you please help me out? I'm taking my wife and soon to Disney World, in a few days, and I recently picked up a Canon T3I.the only lenses I have is a 18-55mm kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 and my 75-300mm lens, is either one of these a good lens, our should I go out and invest in another one this weekend for our trip?

ReplyDeleteoh, since u r not using, u might as well try it :)
ReplyDeleteI have a cheap old no-name Japanese brand HD camcorder that I no longer use you see. So I might try it on that.
ReplyDeleteyes but i dont think u should use a hd one( cos its kinda expensive and if u screw it, u lose a lot of money). u could use a cheap webcam though.
ReplyDeleteDoes this process work with a HD camcorder?
ReplyDeleteVery helpful. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteWhen you remove the IR filter, other than being a IR night vision camera, is it the same conversion to convert to a Full Spectrum Camera ?

ReplyDeleteI'd say so - but most people don't like using them. There's a tripod film at /watch?v=CW_mb2yNm9Y

ReplyDeleteWhat about camerabag, tripod and the most important piece of kit you didn't mention: memorycards ;)
ReplyDeleteIsn't a tripod worth buying with your first camera Mike?
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteJust love the comment at 1:16... "act like a woman in a dress shop" You must have been shopping with my wife.
ReplyDelete4:09 Nikon Flash - Made in China :P
ReplyDeleteDon't know for sure but I expect it's down to cost. Top end DSLR £5000 - top end satellite camera £50,000. This isn't fact just a guess.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment and film idea. Can't promise but it's a possibility.
ReplyDeleteThank you

Why is it, that a Satellite can read a fag box from 22,000 miles away, yet the cameras we are offered have very much reduced capabilities?
ReplyDeleteWell done, Mike.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteThis video will come in handy when I buy my first DSLR, moving up from my bridge camera. Thanks for this. Favourited.
