most c mount vintage lense were made for a 16mm film frame , which is larger than the go pro sensor, finding a good wide angle lens will be hard but I like your work
Correct, Bolex are largely 16mm format which results in a crop factor of roughly 2.05x on the GoPro. 10, 12 & 13mm Bolex lenses are relatively common for around $100 and provide a medium/wide field of view. Wide 8mm & 5.5mm are also available but usually cost a bit more. D-Mount, which is largely designed for 8mm film is pretty much a perfect match for the sensor size in the GoPro and results in a crop factor of almost 0. We sell a simple adapter ring for those lenses as well. Here's a link to a video shot with vintage Bolex & D-Mount on one of our Hero4 mods which has the same sensor size as the Hero7: ua-cam.com/video/Cxg1kGUnkhg/v-deo.html
The BB modification doesn't change the physical capabilities of the GoPro CMOS sensor. However, larger lenses do culminate more light onto an equal square area of the sensor so you have some added capabilities by using different lenses vs. the very small stock GoPro M12 lens. In the end- the biggest advantage to a Back-Bone modified GoPro camera isn't the improvement to their sensors low-light capabilities.
Honestly we would love to, but the reality is we need special equipment to get the cameras open without damage, so a DIY kit would not be possible for people to do.
what makes you think I will buy H7Pro while I already have Hero 7 Black? All I need is the c-mount and other mounts with the interchangeable lenses. I would like to buy the mount and lenses if you are willing to sell. SERIOUS BUYER.

The only reason why you might want to use this is if you want to set it somewhere steady and lets it film without the need to change focus etc, and that is because this is a tiny camera and has 4k60fps which many more expensive cameras don't have. And that microscope attachment is pure gold. I can find many reason why this has a reason to exist (Hero8 also has mods). BUT If you are an average user and you want to use it as a good camera then forget about it, the price of this is close to professional cameras that can do a lot more for the said price and if you want you can add a little bit more and get yourself an even more professional camera. The Hero8 is 849USD already and there are cameras that has far more options for video than this. Remember that GoPro is an action camera and the company gives focus to this. IF gopro ever makes this by default and offers auto focus then they will kill the market for sure. For 849USD and auto focus with the GoPro artificial intelligence and ultra smooth stabilization, people would be running for their money. The only next reasonable purchase would be a bmpcc4k because of the higher bitrate and higher sensor.

You could certainly use a telephoto lens from an SLR camera with a C-Mount adapter. We also typically recommend our Computar 25-135mm C-Mount lens for that type of shooting.
@@trizzpat98 We don't really have any attachments for an off the shelf GoPro camera unfortunately, though we certainly wish that were possible! In order to fit other lens types over the original GoPro lens they would need to be placed several inches away and would likely result in severe vignetting. Our solution is to completely remove the original lens for the best possible results. It's possible to go wider angle like the GoPro MAX lens but adding zoom on top of a fisheye lens is difficult and would likely require too much glass to produce a good result.
The image sensor is moved forward during the conversion, so the original lens sits farther forward than before. As a result it will not fit in the Super Suit with a lens.
Hello, we don't currently have a DIY conversion kit for the Hero5/6 & 7 but we do have a conversion service if you already own a compatible camera: www.back-bone.ca/installation/

Do your products allow for more light input? I find my GoPro Hero 7 Black to be virtually unusable indoors, even when I play around with manual ISO, shoot in flat with extensive post-production, etc.
The stock GoPro lens is around f2.8 - Most C-Mounts will open wider than that - many up to f1.4 or f1.2. You can actually get significantly more light onto the sensor with the right lens.

Hi, we don't have much experience with that particular camera unfortunately so I can't offer much advise. Currently the only Sony conversion we offer is for the RX0 / RX0 II - we make an MFT / C-Mount version of those cameras.
I'm doing that right now. It's easy to use a M12x0.5 to C-Mount and a C-Mount to whatever lens you have adapter. The focal distance fits quite well without modifying the Sony Cam. Buuuuuuuut: there is a massive crop factor of 5.2x! So my 28mm Canon EF lens turned into a 146 mm telephoto zoom lens. That might be good for wildlife video, but not for my purpose. Go and try that, if you are still into that topic. Just keep in mind that "zoom" factor.
If you are asking about stock 'unmodified' GoPro cameras the Sidearm mount that's shown is fully compatible with the Hero5, 6 & 7 Black as well as our modified versions. The lenses and filters depicted require a modified GoPro camera. All of our GoPro mods from the Hero3 Black and up are capable of using the same lenses, adapters and filter types, though the filter size varies depending on the camera model.
Will you please suggest me some lenses and filters and some gears for GoPro hero 7 Black !!! I just bought this for traveling blog !! And i need some guidance .... thanks 🙏 😇🙏
Recommend a set of fixed focus M12 lenses so you can keep your rig compact and not have to worry about focus. Recommend our 2.7mm (superwide), 5.4mm (medium) and 7.2mm (narrow). Get an M12 adapter for each - focus them and lock them in. That way you can change the lens & adapter at the same time without losing your focus. You might also consider a set of ND filters! If you want to get some nice shots with blurred backgrounds etc, get a 16 or 25mm C-Mount lens and shoot with the iris opened up. Karma grip is a great gimbal for it when using M12's
@@adilrobot708 we usually shoot in protune mode @ 4K/30 or 24. In general we find these shooting settings the best: Protune ON, EV Comp -0.5, White Balance: Native, ISO Max 800, Sharpness Medium, Color Flat. You will need to grade the color in post with those settings but it will give you more freedom and a more cinematic look. If you're live streaming stick with the GoPro defaults. If the camera is on a tripod turn the stabilization off. For slow motion 4K/60 or 2.7K/120 are our faves.
this is crazy, ive never been so amazed in my life to how usefull this can be
Wow!
This is pretty cool. I'd be down to buy if I didn't care about the waterproof factor and didn't already invest in a GH5 + GoPro Hero 7 + G7 .

Hero 5 is also available. We've modded every GoPro Black edition since hero 3
Which of all these products fit hero 7 black if any? I see previous GoPros mentioned on the website...4 ,5....?
If you are asking about stock 'unmodified' GoPro cameras the Sidearm mount that's shown is fully compatible with the Hero5, 6 & 7 Black as well as our modified versions. The lenses and filters depicted require a modified GoPro camera. All of our GoPro mods from the Hero3 Black and up are capable of using the same lenses, adapters and filter types, though the filter size varies depending on the camera model.
Wow so coolt 😍👌😀
Wauw !!! Talking about steppin up game
Now there is 360R now
Will you please suggest me some lenses and filters and some gears for GoPro hero 7 Black !!! I just bought this for traveling blog !! And i need some guidance ....
thanks 🙏 😇🙏
Recommend a set of fixed focus M12 lenses so you can keep your rig compact and not have to worry about focus. Recommend our 2.7mm (superwide), 5.4mm (medium) and 7.2mm (narrow). Get an M12 adapter for each - focus them and lock them in. That way you can change the lens & adapter at the same time without losing your focus. You might also consider a set of ND filters! If you want to get some nice shots with blurred backgrounds etc, get a 16 or 25mm C-Mount lens and shoot with the iris opened up. Karma grip is a great gimbal for it when using M12's
BACK-BONE thanks for suggestions brother !! What is the best setting for video and slow motion for GoPro 7 Black ???
@@adilrobot708 we usually shoot in protune mode @ 4K/30 or 24. In general we find these shooting settings the best: Protune ON, EV Comp -0.5, White Balance: Native, ISO Max 800, Sharpness Medium, Color Flat. You will need to grade the color in post with those settings but it will give you more freedom and a more cinematic look. If you're live streaming stick with the GoPro defaults. If the camera is on a tripod turn the stabilization off. For slow motion 4K/60 or 2.7K/120 are our faves.
BACK-BONE thanks a lot dear brother !!! 🙏😇🙏
