SHOOTING THE MOON

GoPro probably didn’t have this in mind when they designed the Hero3+ ! We finally had a chance to test out the Ribcage on our Telescope. These images and the video below were taken by attaching a c-mount to 1.25″ nosepiece adapter to our Celestron C6 750mm Newtonian Reflector telescope. No lens was used on the Ribcage. It’s great to be able to see everything through a field monitor and not have to peer through an eyepiece. We can achieve additional magnification by using a barlow, however we didn’t have one when this was shot.

RIBCAGE 2.7K LOW LIGHT TESTS

We’ve been getting a lot of requests from people wondering how the Ribcage performs in low light situations. We’ve shot a few examples here at 1440p (2.7k). Both videos were shot in the early or late evening, and also at dusk. The example above was shot entirely with our 2/3″ 16mm 5MP Ultra Low Distortion C-Mount lens at F2.0 (http://www.back-bone.ca/product/23-16mm-5mp-ultra-low-distortion/). The example below was shot with a combination of SLR lenses. A Canon EF 17-40mm and a Nikon DX 18-70mm were connected to the Ribcage using our C-Mount adapters. Both lenses were wide open for capture. Don’t forget to watch it in HD!

RIBCAGE: NIGHT VISION

Some sample footage shot at night with the IR-Cut filter removed from our Ribcage Modified Hero3+ Black. Shot with an IR corrected 4.5-13mm CS-Mount. The default look has a purple hue, but tinting or desaturating the footage will easily give it the traditional night vision look as demonstrated in the video. Light source was a small IR LED panel powered by a nine volt battery.

RIBCAGE: INSECTS UP CLOSE

We recently had a fun evening exploring the insect exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature and had a chance to test out some new high-res glass from Computar. All of this footage was shot on a Ribcage modified Hero3+ Black with our new Computar 2/3″ 16mm C-Mount and 1/2″ 25-135mm C-Mount. A big thanks to the Canadian Museum of Nature for granting us access! www.nature.ca
