How To Mod A Cheap Action Camera To Use C-Mount Lenses For Infrared Videography & Time Lapse

In this video I convert a $35 action camera to use inexpensive (and awesome) c-mount lenses. Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this video! Click here to try LastPass for FREE: http://bit.ly/2huNj2L

The specific action camera used in this video is HEIHEI brand, but the exact same style of camera can be found under dozens of brand names. Chances are if you purchase a camera that claims 16mp photos and 4k video resolution (at 15fps) it will be the same or adequately similar in design that this modification will go smoothly. You can find these cameras even cheaper than the $35 I paid for mine. Here is an ebay search results link that should turn up a lot of options (This is an affiliate link. Results are filtered for cameras under $40): http://ebay.to/2h8dd8A

Here is another affiliate link where you can find c-mount extension tubes: http://ebay.to/2wituCk

And another one for a few c mount lenses. I particularly like the Computar 8.5mm f/1.3 lens on this camera (I also like the Computar 6mm f/1.2, and the Fujian 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Tons of great inexpensive c mount lenses out there!): http://ebay.to/2vZd79m

A lot of you will probably notice a number of black spots on my action camera footage. That is dust on the sensor. It seems my tape didn't do an adequate job of protecting it but I was able to clean the dust off with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. I think it could have used a cleaning anyway even before I opened it up as I noticed a smudge probably left by someones finger during assembly. Certainly there's not a lot of quality control on a $35 off brand camera.

If you have any questions please leave them in the comment section below! Thanks for being one of the rare viewers to read the video description!
