What model ifixit kit is that?? I think they have the Mahi, Mako, etc... This video was very instructional. Thanks for posting it. I bought one of these Canon Zoom 518 Super8 cameras on eBay yesterday. The outer plastic lens bezel is bent. This video really explained well how you disassemble it. When my camera arrives later this week, I plan to follow your video and disassemble it. I hope I can bend it into shape. I will also clean the lens pieces once it is apart. Thanks!!
Solid content! I am new to super 8 film world and would like to know more about it. I recently bought my own super 8 and the view finder has some fungus and would love to clean it my self. Would it be possible for you to list the tools you used on this video? Cheers!
Hey, I do have dust or stuff in my camera lens (I mean when I put my eye in the scope, I can't see anything or the image is very dark) I don't think the lens is dirty but may be the upper part of the camera is full of dust ? do you have any recommendations ? thanks
spent an hour trying to rethread the lens back into the camera body, looks like it took you no time at all, eventually I just gave up. Was there any trick to screwing the lens back into the camera?
took the first 3 screws out but i cant get the cap off the focus lens and it appears to be fixed down with adhesive, any suggestions on how to get it unstuck
Hey there! I’m looking to purchase an 814 that has a bit of spider web mould, and think I might dissasemble the lens and give it a clean. Do you have any experience with 814s and do you think it would be similar? All good if you have no idea! Thanks ☺️
Hey hey, it should be almost the exact same process. The 814 just has a deeper zoom lens. I have another video where I clean the mold out of a Leica lens, check that video out. Soapy water will probably be your best bet.
i just purchased one of these, and bought two 625 wein batteries for the light meter, but i can’t seem to get the light meter to work, any ideas on a fix?
Hey, I've just picked up one of these cameras and there is a triangle of metal inside the zoom portion of the lens. I can't quite tell if it is intentional or not. It almost looks like an aperture blade, but is fixed to a ring of metal that goes around the circumference of the inside of the lens. Do have this on your camera?
Hey , I just got the canon 518 but it has baterry corroison on the battery compartment at the top and im afraid it wont work. What are the chances it works if i clean it out? To my point of view it seems liks it's probably damaged but im not sure.
Hello! I have the Canon 518 SV super 8-camera with a really corroded battery compartment. Do you know how to remove the handle for a deep clean? Note that this is the SV version with a firm grip :D
Hello! My camera (318 zoom) has the opposite issue where the focus ring refuses to budge and the ring slid off after trying really hard to turn it :(( Any ideas on what to do? I was tempted to try WD40 on the outside but that feels too risky lol
Love Canon! Their cameras were very expensive and made to be repairable. Great video, you answered my questions. Thanks

Was the knife a prop for interrogation.. in case it didn't work?

Does anyone have a link to a repair shutter for the canon 814 auto zoom 🙏

Hey I noticed this on my camera too, its completely normal and shouldn't affecting filming
@@prematureYeet nice one, thanks for letting me know!

Hey hey, battery corrosion probably won’t affect the camera that much. Just make sure you clean the battery contacts.
@@prematureYeet Thank you !

You should be able to remove the lens the same way i have in this video, it sounds like something is jammed inside the ring
