Scene: Guy removes screws from a camera Music: Epic climatic sequence from an unreleased Alfred Hitchcock movie involving 200 men of the Nazi German army chasing an American spy who's on the run after stealing Hitler's airplane, wife and dog.
Thanks but I'd be better off just throwing it down the stairs and hope the IR filter falls out on it's own. Maybe then it would still work. But it was fun watching you do it.
Excellent video. Thanks man. Don't know what the other guys are whining about. Screwing things apart and putting them together is child's play. The complicated part is cutting out the filter itself. But still is doable by anyone. I really want to do this, but need an older used DSLR so I have a secondary before ruining a camera for daytime photos.
And that’s why you get someone qualified to do it for you! The chances of me getting it apart without damage are slim. The chances of puing it back together correctly are nil! The only real question is how many screws would I lose? Interesting to watch though. I admire your skill.
So many people seem intimidated by this, basically the most important thing is to be gentle, manage all your screws and where everything comes from, make sure all the right connectors go back in all the right sockets, take pictures of the processes step by step if needed for reference, just be careful and patient, eventually you will do it :)
When you say mind the screw size in step 2, what do you mean? Are all the screws in step 2 the same size, and they are just a different size from the previous step?
Chris. Great no nonsense video. Would have liked to see reassembly of sensor though. Wondering if you've been in the guts of a canon 2000d and if so is it similar enough to 1000d to use this video as a guide? Also I'm with the "music was appropriate crowd"
Way too dramatic on the music. I'm pretty sure I heard France's national anthem somewhere in there Anyway, really interesting video! I'd never do this to my main camera but it made me want to get a cheap old one and try it
You'd think you'd be able to call up the factory and order a naked sensor which is a downgrade. Instead we buy a camera then pay to have its guts torn out .
I get how I'm supposed to take my camera apart but I'd love to stick a regular piece of glass in there to keep the sensor safe but all you can do for that is send it out to someone else.
Is the 1000d still relevant for astrophotography in 2024? I just bought one from a pawn shop as a set cuz I wanted the included lenses. I'm sure I'm going to put it on eBay, but I was thinking of astro modding it first. I figured it would be fun to try. Good practice if i want try on another more valuable camera and would maybe increase the 1000d's value. Maybe get my lenses for free.... So I guess to restate my question, would anyone want an astro modded XS in 2024 or has time passed it by?
I have an OLD Canon Rebel2000 digital, the 6 Megapixel one; I just replaced it with a T8i as my 'normal' camera. Would it be worth it/workable to do the astro mods to the old camera?
The IR filter is a hindrance to astrophotography. The altered camera still works but the pics it takes will look oddly bright. To regain pre-alteration quality...screw on an IR filter to the lens.
The benefit is being able to capture the red protons that nebulae give off. But the trade off is, you won't get as many blues or greens. You will have to fill those in with post processing in photoshop.
I just did this to mine,, went great,,, but,,,, it works except mine has error- internal temp too high can not take photo. The screen says that when I attempt to take a pic. Other than that it all works, lol Any ideas
I have my old 400d as a 2nd camera and i am thinking about doing this to it. because I still use it for astrophotography. And if I mess something up... it served a good life.
I would use, or buy a second hand camera in order to avoid unrepairable disasters. But am I right in saying that the guy who started taking the camera apart, had a bit of a shaky hand & wasn't the same guy who actually finished taking the IR filter out?
@@chrisfleming7531 Ugh, that probably rules me out of trying it. I have a slight tremmor on my left (Im left handed) hand. Always had it, its a PITA sometimes.
Man I really hope this video wasn't recorded with anything you've modded or messed with because if so I think I'm reconsidering doing it this way 😆 Also, I saw that the filter or sensor or whatever just got a massive crack at the very end as you attempted to remove it, did this crack ruin the camera?
It was recorded with a cell phone being hand held lol. The crack didn't ruin the camera. It just ruin the chance of reusing that filter. Which I wanted out anyway. I still have the camera and it works well for astrophotography. Can use normally in manual mode with the white balance manually set. Got a 60D that the red eye cut filter was removed as well. It works the same but the video will no long work with it removed.
An astrophotography camera is just one part of a 'drive train' required to make it all work. Youll need a good laptop and then a telescope and mount. Youll be tempted to buy a second camera to control the aiming part. Second little spotting telescope .. it gets crazy with "buy me". With a camera, tripod, and star tracker you can do the same stuff minus the telescope and ...a ton of stuff. You asked a good question. Lots of reasons is the answer. Portability is a huge factor. I can pack my stuff into a backpack and go.. Try that with a twin telescope and a mount capable of carrying it. They have small battery operated star trackers that fit in your pocket. Now suppose you and your gf are going to Jamaica for 2 weeks and you'd like to take some star pics. Now do you see why you might want to try the modified camera path?
kanyaugatiejagwo depends, I thought that too but with a zwo you always have to have a setup to work, with a modified camera all you need is a lens and mount. Zwo will get you better results for very long exposures but if you’re doing 10s 30s I don’t think you’re getting that much benefits and it’s a lot of work, very frustrating to get everything up and running. I have an asiair 2600 that i just bought and still can’t get it running correctly. I’m going to convert my eos r to full spectrum once the r5 comes out
Ah yes, yet another damn example of "ye olde replacing the potential for excellent video tutorial with accompanying verbal audio description, with a stupid music track". What an utterly awful way to totally ruin what would have been an otherwise good video. Poor show my fellow, poor show...oh yes, and here's a thumbs firmly down!
Why do you need to modify a camera when you can do all the color correction in post ?? You should title this how to tear up a camera in 15 minutes or less.
Scene: Guy removes screws from a camera
Music: Epic climatic sequence from an unreleased Alfred Hitchcock movie involving 200 men of the Nazi German army chasing an American spy who's on the run after stealing Hitler's airplane, wife and dog.
The music is by Tchaikovsky from “1812” overture which is about Patrotic War of 1812, also known as French Invasion by Napoleon troops :)
Me: Okay, let's see if it's easy or kinda complicated.
Video Ends
Me: Okay, let's see if there are any online options.
Thanks but I'd be better off just throwing it down the stairs and hope the IR filter falls out on it's own. Maybe then it would still work. But it was fun watching you do it.
Lol
Funny
Thanks man, your video made it much easier to decide buying a dedicated astro cam! 😉
Same for me. No brainier.
...brainer
👍 Yes, me as well
Hahaha

Screwdriver sails across sensor leaving a path of distruction in it’s wake..
Me: oops
Yeah one bad slip it's done for no doubt about it.
I'd hate to see that camera after I got done with it! And all the spare parts left over! :) Nice job.
Thank you.
He never put that camera back together again or he'd have video to prove it. Basically destroyed a good camera. Nice job..
@@mikeries8549 its honestly not that hard lmao..
Dis/reassembling a watch is way harder haha
No thanks. My camera would never work again. LOL
Same lol
And that’s why you get someone qualified to do it for you! The chances of me getting it apart without damage are slim. The chances of puing it back together correctly are nil! The only real question is how many screws would I lose? Interesting to watch though. I admire your skill.
really rethinking if I have the balls to do this xD
The music is distracting . Not really meant for this kind of video. I love classical music but had to mute it.

It's like a man's version of a jigsaw puzzle.
Hey Chris... would you mind if I used your shot of the ir filter coming out for a video I'm making and credit you of course?
Omg it’s you!
@@explosivebrickstudios2693 Actually I'm pink bunny. I do the biscuit man's youtube correspondence! He's so lazy.
Astrobiscuit Pink bunny could you maybe convince biscuit man to shoot the ring nebula next? That would be pretty rad!
@@explosivebrickstudios2693 I will ask ;-0
I BROKE MY CAMERA GG
B Baysaa F

I felt like I was watching an instructional video while walking through Disneyland theme park
I think it would be faster for me to put in an extra 15 hours at work to get a dedicated camera

thanks for taking the effort of filming and posting! really helped! :D
Chris, you make it look so easy! Great tutorial.
Way too dramatic on the music. I'm pretty sure I heard France's national anthem somewhere in there
Anyway, really interesting video! I'd never do this to my main camera but it made me want to get a cheap old one and try it
Tschaikowski, Ouverture 1812
You'd think you'd be able to call up the factory and order a naked sensor which is a downgrade.
Instead we buy a camera then pay to have its guts torn out .
you didn't show if you put the lp1 back in or left it out along with lp2 so what did you do about those filter?
Did the same today. Modified my 350D's standard IR-cut filter with a Baader astro conversion filter. Now I have a spare IR-cut filter I could sell.
Did you put the Outer filter again while assembling it ? .
4:36 french anthem
Do you leave the battery in and turn it on while you work on it? looks really simple I think i will have a go on my 1DX mkIII 😬😬😂
Think I'll just pay a shop to do it
SUCH EPIC MUSIC!
For me personally, the music fits well for this video, ha ha : D
Thank you!
I get how I'm supposed to take my camera apart but I'd love to stick a regular piece of glass in there to keep the sensor safe but all you can do for that is send it out to someone else.
This terrifies me. I think I might just mail mine off.

the fuckin music got me

Light from the top of the screen makes it difficult to see what's being done on the black camera....
I spotted the toothpicks in the video. Did you go on and remove the colour filter array as well?
My hands are shaking!
I dare not look again! 😪
Basically what they did with specific D810 s (D810A) and some Sony A7Rii
Well thats an intimidating video. I think I might just pay to get someone to do it for me lol.
I’m New to all this, what is the benefit of removing this IR filter? and can you still use the camera for ordinary photography afterwards? Thanks.
Coldeb 89 maybe with a filter
The IR filter is a hindrance to astrophotography. The altered camera still works but the pics it takes will look oddly bright.

Any ideas
How can you focus on what he is doing with this music
So you didn't replace it with an aftermarket filter, just left the bare sensor?
that music is giving me anxiety watching this lol
14:25 all over the place!! mine would never work agian!!
In 1.5x It's like tom and Jerry show
Can you also show how to put it back to gather ? Have problems connecting a ribbon cable. (Payed $50 for a Canon 400D :-)

This was a sec hand camera. Yes you are right. I got to shaky to keep playing with a sharp object.
@@chrisfleming7531 Ugh, that probably rules me out of trying it. I have a slight tremmor on my left (Im left handed) hand. Always had it, its a PITA sometimes.
Great video. Well worth the wait.
Nice video but I will stick to my stock dslr, will improve my editing skills and will take more subs and may be will get a clip-in filter
what da dog doin?
Man I really hope this video wasn't recorded with anything you've modded or messed with because if so I think I'm reconsidering doing it this way 😆

Thanks, now I know I won't do this :) At least by myself.
can it see through clothes like xray vision?
epic soundtrack!
Thanks man!
Dude, Where is the mangetic part tray, Anti static wrist band and proper working space for electronics diy?🤔🤔😌😬
Me: hearing annoying music while watching some screws being undone decides to pause, give thumbs down, leave comment & look for different video.
Terrifying.
Be Careful
that music is SO annoying!!
Its called classical sighs
Hell no!!!
Why not buy an astrophotography camera.
An astrophotography camera is just one part of a 'drive train' required to make it all work.

Now suppose you and your gf are going to Jamaica for 2 weeks and you'd like to take some star pics. Now do you see why you might want to try the modified camera path?
Have you seen the price of an astrophotography camera with the same resolution?
Who here has the balls to attempt this
I do!
got the balls... just not the camera...
I'm curled up in the fetal position just thinking about it. Eeessshhh
Hows the focusing after the mod?
I've seen no difference in its focusing ability before or after the mod. However I us it on manual focus 99.9 percent of the time.
I just modded my SL1 last night. I have guys cursing me online saying I won't be able to focus on the moon or stars. We will see I guess.
There many reasons for bad focus in astrophotography but ir filter being removed has not be one for me. One's set up has it's own list of possibles.
Yeah....no.
classical music appreciation is usually proportional to intelligence, looks like someone have really low iq here in the comments :D . Great video!
It is much easier to buy a zwo
What kind would you suggest ??

What an utterly awful way to totally ruin what would have been an otherwise good video. Poor show my fellow, poor show...oh yes, and here's a thumbs firmly down!
What does this do?
+Kristian removing the IR cut filter allows the camera to pick up all spectrum of light
Yeh he never said what or why he was doing . Lol
The worst music ever
What a complete lack of taste you have
I can do it blindfolded.
music sucks
Why do you need to modify a camera when you can do all the color correction in post ?? You should title this how to tear up a camera in 15 minutes or less.
You can't correct wavelengths that never hit the sensor.
