@@houghwhite411yes but building on this work and replacing it with a modern part or scavenged sensors from old cameras is less work than starting from scratch. Nice project !
@@gordon1201 Without a datasheet it will be extremely hard reverse engineering. But I think the data sheets are out there for at least some sensors, even if some might be in a grey area to get. Either way, this is probably out of reach for my skills, I‘m a software dev by trade and only a hobbyist in electronics. It would probably take me thousands of hours (and lots of money) to learn the necessary skills and actually do it. I only have a 200Mhz oscilloscope for a start…
@@houghwhite411 My opinion is that it would be easier to talk ANDANTA (or another "smaller" company) into releasing a data sheet, especially if the people from Apertus AXIOM (an open source cinema camera) join forces to talk to the company, especially since they have connections with the magiclantern guys. Imagine a 16k x 9k - 144MP sensor (it doesn't hurt to dream) in the AXIOM Cinema, and smaller 4k or 8k sensors for projects like this.
This thing probably cost in the realms of a Hasselblad seeing the use of expensive FPGAs, the sensors, the custom BGA boards with controlled impedance and ENIG whose fabrication costs probably alone go into thousands, PCBA dual sided for 3 boards. Forget Hasselblad, this project probably cost more than that. People would peobably actually buy a Hasselblad when they see the price of this prototype. It's probably more like a muscle car tuning project for electrical engineers where they splurge their money over the weekends rather than commercializing it.
This is INCREDIBLE. The fact that you've practically done this on your own is astonishing! This video restores a faith in human's ingenuity. Well done indeed! 👍
as a photographer and an engineer this is such a crazy video to watch and get excited about. my non stem friends think i am nerd for sending them these videos ;)
These kind of projects retain my faith in humanity. It is insane, complex, almost pointless even, and yet the joy you get from it, not to mention the pleasure we get from viewing it, makes it all worth while. Just brilliant! Thank you.
Oh my god, each little mechanical piece must've taken weeks to design, and many iterations. And then there's the FPGA processor and its circuit board, probably a few months and lots of money on just that thing. And then there's the software. Also probably another few months on just that. In total this is easily several years worth of work, spanning many different technical domains! This is one of the most serious and dedicated hobby projects I've ever seen! Well done!
I'm fascinated by FOS hardware projects of this level of complexity and quality! This should be praised, because it will make our world better! And try maybe to change license to AGPL, so your contribution to the humanity won't be rigged by anyone!
If you get this into production within the next couple of years for a msrp of $1000-$2500 I may just buy it because it’s just a sick device That’s too tempting. You’re talented, keep it up!
Awesome project ! I hope this will be the start for an entire community building DIY cameras and DIY firmwares. Either for refurbishing old cameras, building special purpose cameras or just to pressure vendors on opening up their software and hardware. Monumental work!
Dude this is so unbelievably cool, I didn't even know you could buy CCD sensors just ready to drop in to projects. Really can't wait to see where you go with this!
This is incredible! I know very little about how cameras are made, but have used one for years. It was incredible to learn the architecture of these devices.
What am absolute legend. I can see this as being a genuine future of digital boutique cameras. I, for one, would absolutely pay a premium for the opportunity to pick my own components and lens mount, etc and be able to assemble the camera on my own. With a modular design, it would allow the ability to swap individual parts as time goes on rather than getting a whole new camera. Wow, this is just mind blowing, great work and thanks for sharing!
You get a like just for the cat's paw button configuration 🐱. Seriously, though, very impressive engineering. I look forward to seeing the next iteration.
What an insane project!! Nothing will ever convince me you are not a wizard:)) Also those pictures although not special in pixel peeping quality were a joy to look at!
First of all, it's a crazy amount of work you've put into this and I'm here for it. Inspiring project. I've always loved look of CCD sensors, and although I shoot with an A7IV these days, my favorite camera, I've ever owned at least, was the Nikon D80. The sensor on that was just so good. I've always wanted a full frame CCD monochrome camera, and the idea of a version without the IR filter is also appealing. I'll keep an eye on this project just to see where it lands. I'll never buy a pick and place machine, so hopefully someone will eventually offer component kits. 🔥
what’s also incredible is i love the design and layout and it’s really small. an EVF would of course by the cherry on the top but hey you’ve done a man’s work sir 👏 and quite seriously… take my money😊
Dude, this is incredibly cool work. It makes you want to go online. It looks even more authentic than shooting on film! It's a real shame that the necessary elements for such a project are hard to get, I really want to try to repeat something like this and shoot on this. The work is amazing and you are awesome!
Great project! If there was enough space to slide a cold plate underneath the sensor when using the normal connector type, this could make a verrrry interesting DIY cooled astronomy camera.
Such an awesome project, the board design and finished pieces are fantastic. Each electronic component would have taken weeks of design and weeks of testing / troubleshooting.
I don't care about quality, in fact if I wanted quality I'd rely on a much more expensive camera (like Canon, Fuji or Sony). Open-source camera like this MUST have a retro-like quality, almost grungy, that would make it a perfect fit for people like me passionated with old-look photos. Photos you made are superb, can't wait to have more free time to build one like yours, with all the issues of the current version of the camera
Hmm, to me it looked very much like a prototype designed by a highly trained engineer that works at SONY... What this means? It looks NOTHING like a DIY, far from it! Congratulations to the author of this project!
Man . . . you're amazing! I definitely didn't expect THAT. I thought you were going to show us that you hacked up some other camera, and put a full-frame sensor in it, or something like that. You should get a job at Sigma! ;)
Bro, the development of this must have taken a looot of money. It's incredible that you open source it!!
Though it's not viable to be made because the sensor part is... Discontinued...
@@houghwhite411yes but building on this work and replacing it with a modern part or scavenged sensors from old cameras is less work than starting from scratch.
Nice project !
@@Krmpfpksgood luck getting this to work with a different sensor that doesn't have a datasheet

This is actually a full send in the history of open source designs.
"Yo, lemme borrow your camera for a quick pick."
"WADAFUQ is dis?"
"Oh, I made it myself."
Its not about the camera but about the guy behind the camera 😏
Talk about serious cool points. ~lol~
This should be sold as a DIY kit. There are photographers that would be more than happy to have something they put toghether.

He's back!
Those photos are super impressive, I love the grip on this camera!
bro, its hard to. imagine the amount o work and effort put on this proyect. its incredible men, well well done
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
🗣️
I was already impressed with the last update, this one looks so much better! Great job
AMAZING project. WOW. Completely insane. Also just incredible what is possible for a hobbyist now.
This is an astonishingly well done project. It looks like a professional product. Amazing work.
Amazing work! That FFC in the grip looks very professional!
3:14 lmao what a comedy artist , got me good
My idea of a DIY camera would be a hole poked in a shoebox with a sheet of film inside. This is slightly more ambitious.
You get a like just for the cat's paw button configuration 🐱. Seriously, though, very impressive engineering. I look forward to seeing the next iteration.
The fact it turns on is already incredible!
Simply unbelievable. Grateful for you sharing this with the world. Also, I can't believe you only have ~7.5K subscribers.
厉害, 今天第一次看到你的视频, 给我惊讶程度跟当以前到稚辉君一样. 加油!
What an insane project!! Nothing will ever convince me you are not a wizard:)) Also those pictures although not special in pixel peeping quality were a joy to look at!
this is genuinely one of the most incredible projects i’ve ever seen. making a diy ccd camera is amazing 😭
Utmost respect! My hats off to you - this is the *best* YT video i've ever seen, a fullframe 35mm DIY camera.
wow this is frantastic. i just wish this sensor could do 24fps, that would be amazing

literally one of the coolest things ive ever seen
This is so cool! I love the idea of a full frame CCD camera. If I had any knowledge at all I’d try to build one of these
Phenomenal work my friend, I am absolutely blown away. So freaking cool!!! 😎
Fucking phenomenal, the amount of work/expertise on display is mind boggling.
Dude wtf, you're a hero. Are you familiar with amateur astronomy? Because you are now an important name on it. Gz!
A-HU-ET', bro has no eenglish word to describe how I'm amazed about it
Camera starting to look great! can't wait for part 3!
This is amazing, great job, would have been really time consuming, not only did you build this, you also created a well made video on it. Great job
Amazing work. I started shouting when I saw the Lumen. I love the internet and the people who share on it so much.
This is a lovely lovely concept!! Keep it up!! (頑張って!!)
I would to follow you along your journey to see the project!
what’s also incredible is i love the design and layout and it’s really small. an EVF would of course by the cherry on the top but hey you’ve done a man’s work sir 👏 and quite seriously… take my money😊
This is simply amazing. Fantastic job!
That's amazing. Great job, beyond any words. Please continue. I hope open source community will keep contributing.

Wonderful work....a gorgeous design too.
Great project! If there was enough space to slide a cold plate underneath the sensor when using the normal connector type, this could make a verrrry interesting DIY cooled astronomy camera.
the amount of progress you have made since part 1 is incredible! very impressive work!
Dude... This is simply awesome!
Like... I can't even imagine how you did it!
Are project like this make me thing that I'm freaking dumb
I stand in awe of what you have done. That chip was my favorite too. Great work!
The sample photos are actually amazing!
it's the coolest thing i've seen. respect!
Such an awesome project, the board design and finished pieces are fantastic. Each electronic component would have taken weeks of design and weeks of testing / troubleshooting.
I admire your knowledge and energy you put in to this. Well done :)
wow this is REALLY impressive work. Congrats!
This project is impressive. Hats off, I wish I was as talented as you.
Brother, you are a true hero. I would loooove to build one of those myself
You and your friends are incredibly talented. I have learned a lot. Interesting. Camera drivers are scary, but some good C goes a long way. Thank u.
Ik this is extremely early on but boy is it exciting. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming iterations!
This is incredible. I've been waiting for it for over a year.

This is fantastic, I’ve looked into doing this a while ago but didn’t find much info so gave up. Love that you managed to succeed!
Very impressive !!
This could be the Square Digital Monochrom Camera of my dreams 🤩
the whole project has such a DIY vibe, I love it
Hmm, to me it looked very much like a prototype designed by a highly trained engineer that works at SONY...
What this means? It looks NOTHING like a DIY, far from it!
Congratulations to the author of this project!
@@peasantrobot I see what you mean haha and I agree
That’s actually insane! So cool!
very cool. need more DIY camera builds so we can all one day just build the camera we want.
Very impressive!
What an impressive project. Also digging the background music, reminds me of Touhou arranges from circles like Rigël Theatre.
Perseverance 100
Genius! I wish I had one tenth of your ability because I would build my own as well! Thank you for showing this.
I am utterly in awe of this, well done man.
This is easily the coolest thing I have ever seen!
astonishing job bro! wow, respect!
This is insane!!!! So glad you made this
Congratulations on getting so far
Oh you just got a new subscriber. Can't wait to see it happen.
Wenting... this is so amezing, I love CCD sensor, it's look like film.
an amazing project. thank you for releasing all of this. seems like quite a big project just to assemble!
Man . . . you're amazing! I definitely didn't expect THAT. I thought you were going to show us that you hacked up some other camera, and put a full-frame sensor in it, or something like that. You should get a job at Sigma! ;)
This is great mate! You can even develop a moduler syatem based on user need, and have flexibility to choose size of sensor and megapixel etc.
Thanks for sharing, love following this project!
Hey @Wenting Channel I have never seen any of your videos before, but this was recommended to me. This is very impressive!
very nice. I'm feeling a little worried about that exposed connector, but great result! thanks for the video
This is what the internet is all about. Thank you for sharing!
Incredible. What a beautiful piece of work. Congratulations 🙏👍
this is cool, I can wait to see more stuffs!
It’s just incredible and inspiring, and the result is so retro !!!
This is seriously the best opensource project i have ever seen!
Amazing Work! ♥💛💚
Absolutely insane project!!!! 😍
Amazing work. The physical interface design is beautiful, too!
Next level stuff!
Sick project man ! Can't way for part 3 !
goated for lfe - what an amazing build bro!
Absolutely awesome! Love it! And really nice, calm and well made video! Cheers mate
This is a piece of art
