This is so ridiculous and impractical, but that makes me realize it's all the more a labor of love. Well done, the final box looks sick! I can't wait till we get more cameras that are open source like that octopus project that's taking forever. This is the closest we've got!

Hey just finished my build and have to say thank you for these instructions. Guided every step of the way! I know this is probably in the Facebook group(don’t use fb) but I’m having trouble powering the camera and fan. Can anyone direct towards a powerbank and what specifications I should be looking for?
Hi, honestly i would tell you to go to the FB group, but in general any powerbank that has TWO USB-A outputs and at least one of those can do 2.4A or more should be suitable. There's some lower end ones that might not be able to power the M, but honestly ive seen very litte in terms of problems regarding that.
I LOVE YOU DUDE!!! Thank you! Its actually FDM ;) Just very very dialed in + high quality filament. Im glad it looks like its SLS/Resin, that's a real compliment for me.

Hi! We've stopped production of the M-Lite in September 1st. If you send me your email on www.3dfocus.org i can add you to the list in case anyone cancels. Thanks! Tom
Saw this last week. Instantly fell in love a purchased one. Can’t wait for it to come. I noticed in the thumbnail and other videos that it has Tilta accessories on it. Do you have a list somewhere of parts that for sure fit on this? Also was thinking about getting the Tilta red Komodo full cage for it. Any way of know if that will fit your build? Thanks.
Hey. That cage will 100% NOT fit. The only part of the M-Lite that we could make simmilar to the komodo is the two top 1/4" spacing. You can find blueprints on the ordering page, but i believe the top Tilta NATO didn't fit perfectly and had to be dremelled out to not interfere with the on/off button. Go join our Facebook group and ask there, Cole will definitevly help you out (it was his build) Thanks! Tom
I suggested this IMCE before as well. Build something around Sigma FP as it’ll be more suited such kit :) just a suggestion. Let me know your thoughts.
Hey, thank you! We do not do the builds and don't plan to. It would be unnecessarily complicated with shipping etc. I highly recommend you do the build yourself, we made sure it is as accessible for people as possible. Thanks Tom
Just a quick question, on the back of the screen are two ribbons one is the upper ribbon which you did connect but not the smaller lower ribbon. Do you connect that one or you just leave it?
@@kayhanmafi2522 the smaller ribbon is the touchscreen - you can buy an PCB from our shop to get the touchscreen connected but by default it remains unplugged.
Hi, I just did the whole build when I did the test like you did with the screen and buttons on the outside. The camera lights up but the screen doesn't. Although the build went very well due to this tutorial I can't find anything wrong. When putting the screen back without the extention I have the same problem. Any idea on what is wrong? Help!!!
Because it is the first in the world to come. Picking a better camera adds a ton of work and would be harder to make real. Don't worry, we've got a ton planned :)) Tom
just a quick question on this build... when your cutting the tabs at 8:46 i know you need to be really careful but can you cut from the underside (below the ribbon) instead or does it have to be from the top (above the ribbon) and are there any alternative methods to get this free other than a razer as it seems high risk of damaging it? Lastly, do you make replacements of this cable as this is only the real reason i worry about putting one together. Thanks in advance.
Please Help! I assembled the camera as show in the video, but it Is not turning on. The Power button is actuating normally and is aligned. would either of the ribbon cables having been disconnected during assembly have something to do with the device not powering on?
Hey, currently there isn't. Since you'll constantly have a dummy battery and 99% of the time a SD card in the camera, i don't see this as too much of a problem. We discussed making a cover, but it was deemed too much work.
Well that’s disappointing. Found this super cool product and bought the camera only to find out you shut down production three days ago. Late to the party again.
Hey. You need at least a 5V/2A Powerbank, ideally one that can do more. You can find nice recomendations on the MLV Facebook group, people talk about powerbanks there very often and know what works and what doesent. Thanks!
Hi! We do not plan to open pre-orders yet. There's a e-mail newsletter registration on the product page, so pop your email there and you'll get notified once you can purchase!
Hey, yep, that's the touchscreen ribbon. Because we couldn't find a ribbon extension for that cable, you lose touch capability. There's a chance i will find the correct extension somewhere and make it work, but right now, it remains unplugged.
Cooling, ergonomics, rigging, screen on top, cheese plate. This actually saves you a bunch of money weight and size of you wanted to rig the eos m in a similar fashion.
How do I track my package after the sales have stopped. I ordered it on the last day and the payment went through. But the trello link is no longer available
Hey, Batch 1 has been shipped completely, Batch 2 is awaiting a delayed shipment of lcd extension ribbons, you can check it all here : trello.com/b/QtHqFiaY/m-lite-production-timeline
For me the lif extention is not working. Nothing is broken though. The build worked perfectly until I did the test of the functionality. When my screen is connected directly to the camera it works fine but using the extention i get no screen. Please I need a little assistance. Thanx in advance. I have 40 years of Xp in electronics so I am quite comfident that it might be a faulty extention LIF. Please reply.

Very nice, but what about cooling? This could be a practical reasoning for the build, but it is just a small fan in front of metal plate. Could be some heatsink right from the CPU ant then the fan
Hey, we considered using a heat sink but after testing it has shown there is not a single reason to overcomplicate it. Keep in mind the EOS-M heatsink (the metal plate) is designed to dissipate enough heat without any active airflow on it (since the LCD is covering it). Sure, MLV makes the camera heat up more, but our cooling system keeps the camera extremely cold. Thanks for the question! Tom
Hi! This is a common issue, easy fix, check our fb group for details But in short, your extension ribbon isn't plugged in all the way into the camera ribbon. facebook.com/share/p/eaZX6DT4hCnzueV8/?mibextid=K35XfP
@@filmatura thanks will try again, i ended up putting cam back together, but lost functionality on right and up directional pad lol. Unfortunately ive redone video cable 7 times and still not working, im just gonna consider this a failed project on my end resulting in non functional camera.
im planning on buy a second hand canon eos m as my first camera {mainly cuz most of the magic lantern videos are based around that camera model} could you please help me to know what all i should check in the camera before making the purchase, i will be meeting the seller and checking the camera in person
Hey. Honestly its mostly small things, but very obvious ones. Most important is the overall function - does the shutter work (can it take a picture), do all of the buttons work, does the screen work and does it show any wear? . I'd say most of this is pretty self explanatory, there isnt really some caveat that you'd have a hard time figuring out.
Upon testing my screen won’t turn on 😢 I’ve tried to do it without the extension cable but to no avail. It worked before and I was so careful I don’t know what could have happened
Hey man. In case you didn't figure it out this is caused by some part of the ribbon not being plugged in enough, whether on the camera side, or the camera to pcb or lcd to pcb connection. I suggest you re-check these connections have the ribbon pushed in enough.
The smaller ribbon is for touch. Currently touch doesent keep working after the mod but we've got some touchscreen extensions on order to allow that in the future.
@@filmatura I have a request . Is there anyway you can make an accessory plug to cover the chamber on the m lite body for the Sd and dummy battery. I think rubber would work to stay in place
@@filmatura I had figured it out after more research on cameras…I ended up buying an Eos M yesterday…so hopefully I can get this rig before y’all stop making them 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hey, the rear cover is there because the little plastic button that presses the ON-OFF ribbon button is mounted on that. Without that the ribbon would get broken very fast.
@@At_r34 You can buy one on our store from Europe, or from aliexpress. www.3dfocus.org/product-page/m-lite-replacement-lcd-ribbon www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003269737795.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.760e1802V9Umqv
Why not add sd extension? I don't swap cards often but there are times when I forget to offload my card and need to swap out. Edit: Not trying to be negative, just curious. Also I've had issues with dirt/dust getting into another camera I owned when the latch started to wear out. I would be a little paranoid about that.
Hey. The SD extension was a bad idea mostly because of the current way the SD slot is utilised. With MLV you're maxing the slot and SD card, and adding another piece would make it perform worse. With a SD card and dummy battery in there are no places where dust could do any harm on the M, at least not any that i know of. The SD Card can still be accessed, without having to take the camera out.
Just realized that there is no access to "photo/movie mode" button. You need to switch to photo mode to update Danne's builds. Also, no access to shutter button.
Yes. You can get easy access to the photo/movie switch by removing four screws. The Shutter button is sadly just not possible with needing to have 1/4" at the top. We have some ideas on how to make a modded front plate to allow the button to be pressed too.
Also i read some info about it, citing Jon Pandone here : "You don't need to switch to photo mode for and update. Just copy the new build to the card. I think what you mean is you have to be in photo mode to set the boot flag on a brand new card, but you don't need that either. You can set bootflag on computer with eoscard utility"
@@filmatura defo will be getting one just got other priorities at the moment please keep this on sale I dont mind paying the extra because of all the work put into designing and developing this cool mod the active cooling and the pro cinema camera look is why I want one I would feel more than confident pulling this out in a room full of professionals it looks amazing and the active cooling is a great idea I need to buy another eos m that I dont mind stripping down might buy a second used c grade from uk second hand shop as I dont plan to remove it once fitted cant wait to see wat else u have planned for the m lite just a suggestion but maybe a slightly bigger unit with hdmi to Sdi converter built in would be a cool mod
@@ZeroBudgetDevelopments There's 8 units for this price right now, after they sell out price will be going up, but ofc we dont plan to stop selling these any time soon. If you join the FB group there's a bunch of "leaks" for new accessories coming out later for the M-Lite. The HDMI to SDI is a good idea, however most of people using the EOS M are more budget oriented, and SDI is mostly more expensive. The converter itself would cost as much as the M-Lite haha! Glad you like this project :) Tom

How cost is the camera and the boxes
Why is it necessary to put the rear cover back on?
Hey, the rear cover is there because the little plastic button that presses the ON-OFF ribbon button is mounted on that. Without that the ribbon would get broken very fast.
how much and where can you get the extention lcd ribbon cable
Hey, the extension ribbon cable comes with the kit. You can buy it here : www.3dfocus.org/product-page/m-lite
@@filmatura I mean the extension cable separately not the kit
@@At_r34 You can buy one on our store from Europe, or from aliexpress.

This build will only fit Eos-M, correct?
Yes, no other camera will work with this.
You still making these

Why not add sd extension? I don't swap cards often but there are times when I forget to offload my card and need to swap out.
Edit: Not trying to be negative, just curious. Also I've had issues with dirt/dust getting into another camera I owned when the latch started to wear out. I would be a little paranoid about that.
Hey. The SD extension was a bad idea mostly because of the current way the SD slot is utilised. With MLV you're maxing the slot and SD card, and adding another piece would make it perform worse. With a SD card and dummy battery in there are no places where dust could do any harm on the M, at least not any that i know of. The SD Card can still be accessed, without having to take the camera out.
Just realized that there is no access to "photo/movie mode" button. You need to switch to photo mode to update Danne's builds. Also, no access to shutter button.
Yes. You can get easy access to the photo/movie switch by removing four screws. The Shutter button is sadly just not possible with needing to have 1/4" at the top. We have some ideas on how to make a modded front plate to allow the button to be pressed too.
Also i read some info about it, citing Jon Pandone here : "You don't need to switch to photo mode for and update. Just copy the new build to the card. I think what you mean is you have to be in photo mode to set the boot flag on a brand new card, but you don't need that either. You can set bootflag on computer with eoscard utility"
i want one
You know where to get it ;) www.3dfocus.org
@@filmatura defo will be getting one just got other priorities at the moment please keep this on sale I dont mind paying the extra because of all the work put into designing and developing this cool mod the active cooling and the pro cinema camera look is why I want one I would feel more than confident pulling this out in a room full of professionals it looks amazing and the active cooling is a great idea I need to buy another eos m that I dont mind stripping down might buy a second used c grade from uk second hand shop as I dont plan to remove it once fitted cant wait to see wat else u have planned for the m lite just a suggestion but maybe a slightly bigger unit with hdmi to Sdi converter built in would be a cool mod
@@ZeroBudgetDevelopments There's 8 units for this price right now, after they sell out price will be going up, but ofc we dont plan to stop selling these any time soon. If you join the FB group there's a bunch of "leaks" for new accessories coming out later for the M-Lite.
The HDMI to SDI is a good idea, however most of people using the EOS M are more budget oriented, and SDI is mostly more expensive. The converter itself would cost as much as the M-Lite haha!
Glad you like this project :)
Tom
@@filmatura will do :)
does it work on eos m2 ?
Hey, No.
DOES ANYONE HAS ONE OF THIS REHOUSINGS FOR SALE?

where are you from ?
Hey, we ship & manafacture in the Czech Republic, Europe, but we ship WORLDWIDE. Thanks !
Thanks for the videos! I want to do a small modification to my eso m but just need the ribbon cable. Do you sell just the ribbon extension or know where I can get the right cable?
Hey, we do not sell the LCD ribbon currently. Its a 51 pin, 0,3mm pitch ribbon. Im sure you can find it elsewhere!
