Hi I just bought a infered light from amazon and I have a gopro hero7 black is it possible to the the same remove the ir filter from the lens. I find you're video very useful. My gopro is also paired with my huawei p20 Pro thanks
I believe most cameras do have a similar filter, but i cant be certain sorry. If you dont want to risk the gopro, this kind of action cam you can probably pick up for like £20 now. Sorry i cant be more help. Good luck and thanks for watching 👍
I have one of these cheap no name brand gopro cameras and its been sitting in my cupboard collecting dust. I was looking to purchase one that has already been modified, then figured I'd see how hard it was to do myself. Hence how I came across this video. Thought to myself, no way it's that easy but, boy was I wrong 😂 so thank you for this simple tutorial.
😢 I'm devastated. I tried to tighten my now infrared camera and the LCD screen fukked up. But I had another Apeman A80 has a square power button. I tried to just switch lenses but when I turned it hard the entire lens fell apart its like 8 pieces.. Not blaming you mate. Its just that when I put the lens back on my old Apeman it was out of focus so I tighted it real good and got f-ed up.
Hello, i have followed your video and removed the IR square glass off the back of the cam and I have bought the same IR light as you but its still not working. The leds of the light can be seen but not the room. Is there something I'm missing? Would appreciate help and advise
Not sure sorry, if the IR light is working it will be illuminating the room, all i can think is that the camera is still not picking it up. I know the light has two settings and on the lowest one i struggle to see but on full it lights up well. Hope you figure it out bud, its really awesome when working 👍🤞
I would imagine so, most have the filter. Just be careful taking it apart and take a look. If the ir lense is there, take it off and you should have the same result
Not sure, i was not expecting black and white when i first turned it on, i was expecting pink. It does start out pink then changes, i believe its to do with the cameras software
@@lewtube1136 apologies for jumping in on this comment. I have just done what you did to my Goodman's action camera. So easy thanks to your video, everything looks pink (which I assume its supposed to) I have ordered an infrared light and can't wait to get it lol. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated 👍
You need big sensor and pixels for quality, go for full frame or at least APS-C and use fast lens. Cheap camera isn't best option, image will be grainy and noisy.
interesting !! Question, can I capture the stars as a night vision equipment with this mod? I want to film the stars and I don't know how to improve this
To be honest i have not tried, if i get a clear night i will give it a go and see for you. But i live in the UK so there are no guarantees on good weather 🤣🤣
So did i, and sometimes this camera starts out that way but then adjusts. Some peoples cams have gone pink, so i guess it depends on the make and the software within them
That's because this is NOT a full spectrum conversion. This is a night vision conversion which is just the elimination of the Infrared filter of a camera lens system. A full spectrum conversion is much different and calls for ALL light samples. IE Full Spectrum of colors to come thru the lens. Good job on the night vision conversion tho. Great work.

well my filter was placed on top of the sensor (not the lens) and i broke the camera trying to remove it. don't be stupid like me and only try to do this mod if the filter is attached to the lens, so you don;t damage your camera
@@lewtube1136 If upon removing the lens or lens cap, you notice a black plastic frame surrounding the sensor, that's where the IR filter is mounted. This method of mounting the IR filter is also used in DSLR cameras.
The adapter is a bit of a combination of what came with my camera and a male to male adapter which is standard thread size. Again off amazon, quick search should find them
I know this is a year ago, so you've almost certainly worked this out, but most cameras don't allow you to monitor over WiFi and record at the same time.
Hello, how do you get your phone to be the screen and also how did you attach the light to the top etc? Thanks 🙏🏻
Great tutorial sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your tutorial. I'll be doing the same to my cam. What is the hand held gizmo you have?
Your welcome, its just a selfi stick off amazon thats also a tri pod
What is the model number ?

You're welcome, thanks for watching. It is pretty exciting when it works, still use this camera today.
Nie działa w GoPro hero 5. Nie da się z obietywu usunąć fltra IR. Działa z GoPRo hero 3.
I just did it to my old apeman 4K awesome. Now I'm wondering should I keep it out of the sunight?
I have used mine in the day to see what happens and its fine, just lets in more of the spectrum now thats all👍

Sorry to hear that, they are pretty fragile. Got to admit i was sweating a bit with mine.

I don’t know if it would make too big of a difference but with night vision action cams you need to turn the exposure all the way up.
How does it work in a car driving at night?
Sorry I have never tried it so I can't say
will it still record fine during the day time or is it night only after this?
Records fine in the day, some things may just appear more pink then usual
could you post amazon link for camera you used pleasex
I dont think this model is in circulation any more im afraid. Im sure this method will work on newer models though.
@@lewtube1136 thank you anyway for the tutorial completely appreciated xxx
what is the mount called for the camera and phone? I am trying to build one also. Great video!
Mpow is the make model PA168A got it off amazon
Can I do this with Xiaomi YI?
I would imagine so, most have the filter. Just be careful taking it apart and take a look. If the ir lense is there, take it off and you should have the same result
@@lewtube1136 thx
What is the name of the camera that was modified?
It was just a generic action cam off amazon made by apeman, this method will work on most action cams as most use these type of lenses
How do you get the picture in black and white..? As mine night vision is pink 🤔
Not sure, i was not expecting black and white when i first turned it on, i was expecting pink. It does start out pink then changes, i believe its to do with the cameras software
@@lewtube1136 OK my friend thanks for the reply 👍🏼
i had used some IR leds rings. and my cell but it the recordings get a green tone..

Image is just fine, and is a good cheap option, hence the vid
Which app did you use to stream to your phone?
It is just called wifi action camera, i tried a few apps, this one worked for me

don't worry, thank you very much for answering!!😁👏🏻📷
No worries, i am quite curious now though so i will be giving it a go. Never know what you may see 👽
I thought full spectrum would be a pink/purple color? Maybe I am mistaken?

@@RealSAE Do you know how to make this a full spectrum conversion?
🤔 i have an old sony with night vision but.. it uses a IR leds.. it makes the video a green tone... not a black and white tone...
It seems to be software related, some cameras go green, others go pink mine went black and white
What camera and model is it please?
Just a generic action cam off amazon, this one was made by apeman. I believe the same method would apply to most similar camera's
@@lewtube1136 Thank you very much for answering, I already subscribed I hope to see more of your videos!
first class video Lewis
Thanks 😁
That was very useful video. Thank you.

Thanks, actually still using this camera! Great to plug into a power bank and leave as a static cam

And adapter for the IR torch.

Try a 1/4" bolt with the head cut off. Really economic! LOL.
Good nice
Super
