Foreign. This spirited man wonders what he's gotten himself into. Could have bought a brand new Sony Alpha 7 mark IV for what he paid for this rig. Come on.
But then again, Sony The reason for this build for building this twenty five hundred dollar GoPro is not a reason at all. It's irrational. It's emotional. This spirited man wants a camera he can like again, maybe even love camera.
That gives him a good feeling so he thinks I hate you I'm not smart enough for you guys. You're fine, but your lenses are too big and you're too big and you're too heavy I Love you. You've always been good to me, but your image is just too cloudy for these times. I Love you guys! I'll stick by you, but sometimes your lenses are just too wide.
I See a lot of worthy things when you're driving and with the ultra slow-mo mode on this GoPro you can capture them but they're just too wide. The lens is just too wide so in Mexico I Got the idea for a longer lens for the GoPro and then I went down a rabbit hole. Foreign I Finished this thing and I'm thinking did I just make a lower resolution more fragile Canon 1dx like this one. This lens is so long, beautiful to the touch, and the image is really beautiful, but there's no way I'm holding it steady enough out of a car window and I'm not going to be able to get focused and pick the right spot while I'm driving a car.
I Also ordered a macro lens hoping I could do very close-up shots but then I fell in love with it. but then I fell in love with this camera and sank more money into it and bought this lens which is super wide. Okay, so this is my original intention for this camera is to shoot super slow-mo from the car and have it be a closer lens. This spirited man wonders if he's more in love with the object than he is with its purpose, and he wonders if that's okay.
Is this folly? Is it obscene to spend this kind of money so inefficiently is it arrogant? Is this camera project a byproduct of irrational thoughts and illogical judgments? Well, according to Uncle Saul he remembered yes, yes, it is okay according to Uncle Saul irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically according to Uncle Saul Technological judgments lead to new experience on this week's Patreon only video I Love film photography even though I'm no good at it. or maybe because I'm no good at it. Film photography is one of my hobbies and hobbies are for fun.
Perfectly ok. Ok in every good way. I love everything about this.
Obsession is a cruel Master 🥴🥺
I can't believe your spent $70 on a HDMI cable 🤪
Olympus tg-6 with the digiscoping with Celestron humming bird is pinnacle of photography.
just post process the bend out of it. your problem is solvable by simple software.
you paid $70 for a Hdmi adapter. Hdmi is digital the bits arrive or they dont. You wasted your money.
$50, for an LED in a box (light mod). Thats just embarrassing.
If this was an experiment you could have used cheaper Russian optics or even plastic lenses.
I have to stop every video this man posts is more depressing and weird than the last.
This man is our modern day Stanley Kubrick!
Love this soooo much 😊
I think you might want to try the Sigma FP. Full frame 'modular' camera.
Why put crummy Leica labels on there?
DOGGONE! The image coming out of that thing is beautiful.
@BACKBONEca
Great video but couldn't finish it due to horrible sound effect or soundtracks. Sorry
Why do we hate Sony?
I think I’ll stick with my hero 5
Homie got that 💲to 🔥
Down the rabbit hole… I get it.. 😂😂😂
This is good project bravo 👏
