Super 8 Camera Digitizer -- Episode 505

In a previous episode, Clem has built a proof of concept to convert a Super 8 film camera into a digital camcorder without any modifications to the camera itself. Many of you asked for a Kit or if a digital drop-in Film Cartridge replacement was possible! Finally, Clem has the chance to revisit the project and uses the New Raspberry PI compute Module 4 and the HQ camera module to build a crazy compact cartridge that is a major stepping stone towards a real product! And during the project, he even had to start his own 3D printer Resin brand just to obtain a material that is up to the task for this project!

    Thanks for asking. I call it " MAYER MAKES Engineering Resin ". As seen in the video it is extremely tough and impact resistant. In my quick iterations I often use resin prints that I oversize and while…

    Material science, mechanical, optical, electronic, and power challenges. That is really Impressive work on an interesting and super challenging project.

    That's an incredible packaging accomplishment - great electromechanical design (plus the optical path). Makes me want to try a resin printer . It seems like trying to get that much power into an unmodified…

    I don't know anything about electronics, at least at this stage in my life. Maybe it is a crazy idea, but you could still try to power by wireless induction as the iphone is charged.

    wohoa that is abrave idea! I like your thinking.
    But unfortunately there are  problems I see with it:

    induction charging has alot of power loss so not very efficient.. the units needs asteady 3amps to be perfectly stable which I think vastly surpasses the capabilities of current systems without getting dangerous.
    A lot of Super8 cameras are built like faraday cages, so I'd imagine it wont work on some models.

    nevertheless thanks for yopur ideas, maybe the next one is just the the exact one that helps finishing it!
