RIBCAGE: BACKYARD MACRO

There’s a whole world of life around you everywhere if you just stop to look a little closer. All of these creatures were filmed in a suburban backyard flower garden in Ottawa, Canada.

This video was shot entirely with a GoPro Hero4 Black modified with our Ribcage Mod Kit. A Computar 2/3″ 3.3X Macro Zoom lens was used.

Settings:

  • Protune mode 2.7K/60 Wide
  • White Balance ‘Native’
  • Color ‘Flat’
  • Sharpness ‘Medium’

Color was graded in post using Adobe Speedgrade CC 2014. Frame rate slowed to 30fps in Premiere.

Captures were performed over two days at dusk as the insects were less likely to move away. An LED ring light was used for added illumination. As well a 2-axis macro focusing rail was used to make fine adjustments which made framing the shots much easier.

INSPECTING WITH RIBCAGE
Here at Back-Bone we do a lot of inspection work on our electronic components and fabricated parts, so we put together a high magnification solution using our own modified GoPro cameras and high magnification C-Mount lenses. With ability to output at 1080p to a large screen it makes even the tiniest details easy to see in real-time. Pictured is a Ribcage with an incredible Computar 2/3″ macro zoom lens. An LED ring light is attached using step up rings.

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: 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.
