This was a crazy heck of a ride working on that video! Let me know your thoughts in the comments, what you would like to see next, it's always nice to read your comments :) This video was supposed to be made in 15 days... ended up taking more than two months. As you dig into the subject you keep learning and falling into sub-rabbit holes so I really wanted to master the subject as much as possible before starting working on the video, for the sake of accuracy. Feel free to correct anything that is wrong! This unsponsored video cost me well over $5000 (the UA107 lens rental alone was $1300 ) , and I don't think the RU-vid money will pay it back even with a million views, so if you like you can show support by donating a Super Thanks! Will mention all Super Thanks contributors in the next video credits :) And if I still don't pay back the expenses don't worry it's a passion project anyways. I hope this super thanks system will allow me to make more frequent content. Otherwise, you can also just sit back, watch... and enjoy the flight!

Really great video! Can you please try to adapt the old Lens to a modern camera? That would be sooooooooo interesting to see!

@XTJ7 Год назад

@@bastelbude_ I second this. But I would also love to see some more recordings with the old camera. Like: go to an amateur sports game and set it up or at a race track. It is really amazing what you did there and I can only guess just how much work you had to put into it. And last but not least the incredible quality of the video you put together, the process, the storyboard, the editing, beautifully done.

As someone who watches a ton of teardown videos, I actually can't stand this editing. Dark room with a flashlight, every single shot is panned, and it's edited like an action film. It's just my opinion so if people enjoy it, great, but I want technical content not a hollywood movie.

@SerYil1 Год назад

@@GTechno13 Agreed, as a motion designer I honestly think it's excessive, and unnecessary for most of the scenes here. Same goes for the soundfx, it's a camera disassambly which is definitely very interesting as it's not a camera you can find around, but at the end of the day it's a camera, not a movie. you don't need whoosh sfx when taking out a card out of it's slot.

This has got to be one of most well produced and engaging RU-vid videos I've ever seen. The aesthetic and flow of the video was incredibly captivating. It oozed adventure and exploration. It captured a journey between man and technology. Your fascination and appreciation for the glorious machine that it is, really came through for me. This is just simply incredible and I can't wait to see even more similar videos from you. If anything, I think the video of the repair could've been included in this. It is ultimately part of the journey.

5:35 Yep, that’s exactly it. We call those “bodge wires” (“bodge” = fix), and they’re done to correct problems or make modifications to a circuit. It’s surprisingly common to find those even today, mostly on high-price, low-volume products where a) you don’t go through tons of prototypes before going into production, and b) it’s cheaper to perform the labor than to scrap the board and replace it with a new version. Typically, the next production batch of boards will then have the modification integrated. I’m actually doing an electronics technician apprenticeship right now, and doing modifications with bodge wires is something we are expressly taught how to do.

@DavidEdelsohn 10 дней назад

It could be a fix or it could be because the PCB board did not have enough layers to route the signal using a trace.

@dennisjones8991 Год назад

I used to operate that camera, but NOT from the camera position, but from the ccu control point. These cameras often needed two people to work, one to point the camera in the right direction and the other to control exactly HOW the camera "see's" the image. Since they typically used 3 different CCD, one each for red, green, blue. The operator at the CCU control point made sure each of the colors were lain on top of each other for the sharpness of the image. You can also control the individual intensity of each color for color mixing and hues. Some effects also started in the camera. It is fascinating to see cameras get smaller as new technology gets invented and becomes available.

@jbondhus Год назад

How does the video quality of this camera compare to that of the day? It looks out of calibration, maybe from aging components or something.

MKBHD has a simple but tasteful style with his videos but there's tons of work behind the scenes you don't notice. The intros they do are more often than not more complex than you might think. I'm not trying to dunk on this video but it felt a bit dramatic in style which is cool and it has its place but it's not always the best option.

Those small wires are called bodge-wires. When you have an error in your PCB it is often times cheaper to fix it by cutting traces and adding wires by hand instead of re-doing the design, ordering new PCBs, and possibly throwing out already assembled boards if you are only making a few hundred or thousands of that board

Guy... awesome video... I have one question: What would be the quality of an image when this old lens is mounted to a new camera?? Basically, I want someone to make it clear whether a 4K lens makes a difference in image quality as compared to an HD lens. I think the qualilty (HD/4K) should not matter. What should matter is the image sensor quality of the camera... please @ZebraZone make a video on this.

@grandfab813 Год назад

I remember operating once a early HD cam with a SD lens (18 x 7.3), it was still "ok" in the center but turned blur on edges when wide open. Never had the same situation with 4kcam/HD lens so I can only guess it would be same. But the bandwidth of the lens has to be limited by the bandwidth of the sensor. The factor is by 2 times if I remember correctly. The "sharpness" is made electronically later in the signal chain by adding a square wave signal on pixel transition function (detail). So if you want to see the "real" image out of the lens you have to put the "detail" treatment down to zero and you will see that those lens deliver in fact a kind of blur image.
