Hi. This article is for old hybrid camera users, to point out a possible new option for them.
Hybrids haven't seen to have advanced much, even though there are chips at Ambarella much better. But I have found some exciting mods that make in usable cameras into hybrids. The very small 4k+ from YI, which is a good upgrade from the 4k version the previous year, seems to be about the best option. It turns out you can get focusable lenses, and even a cage for it that accepts normal lens, and some straight lens adaptors (they result is a zoomed image without the corrective optical components a speed booster type lens adaptor would have). The lens adaptor case accepts various small format lens upto some S16mm lens. There is also a microphone input cable option, and sync cable options for setting up a vr setup. Maybe this could be used for 3D. The YI 4k+, to me, looks better than GoPro 6. It does 4kp60 (not certain about 10 bit hdr) 11 stop of native dynamic range and a healthy 135mb/s. There are adaptors for GoPro and some others as well, and lens. Including lens tools that making replacing quick composed to a long complicated mod care or replacing the lens without a tool. More pictures and links hopefully to come, as my battery is dieing here. For starters here is a simple focusable lens, but it doesn't look so good as the others: https://youtu.be/RvLPQpUHTME http://www.yitechnology.com/yi-4k-plus-action-camera ![]() ![]() ![]() Modified Yi 4k+ ![]() ![]() http://www.back-bone.ca/product/ribcage-yi-4k-plus/ Footage: http://vimeo.com/218007882 A simple cage: http://youtu.be/3IDWKRxcyjc A complex mod: http://youtu.be/I1kAaRuEa3o http://www.back-bone.ca Lens replacement with tool so you don't have to take the case apart: http://youtu.be/NcpbCIbVU6E http://pixaero.pro Here is a messy hack on an cheap camera: http://youtu.be/nppnme-9ZOA So, haven't found a multifocal lens replacement yet.
