Great video, dude. What is the total cost of the GoPro with InfaRed and the 2 IR Lights? We are very interested in getting one of these for some night airsoft games that we play.
Zachmac, does the Gopro sensor pick up lots of IR light, specifically concerning outside? I've had dismal performance in low light conditions with it. I'm debating implementing your Ragecams mod. What if you used both Sima lights at the same time? Is it possible to get a really broad range of visibility?
@djcarrollable Yes, infact the camera picks up so much of the light I have to put it in spot mode (with one light) in order to keep it from over-exposing. This year I am going to try and mount the light much further away from the camera so that it doesn't close the iris on my camera making it so you can only see me and allow the camera to see more of the surroundings.
Unlike most board cameras, the IR cut filter on the GoPro is actually on the lens itself. To "modify" it all you have to do is put a cheap regular board lens on it and WALA!
To "switch it back" you just put the original GoPro IR cut lens back on.
Once you modify the GoPro for IR, it's basically an IR camera and should be kept for using night vision only. If you want a GoPro for daytime stuff, Just simply buy another one. They are not that expensive.
I am glad that my last video was of use to you. Thanks for the offer on the new lens!! If you could send me a lens that as wide angle as you can get while still being able to fit in the housing and without vignetting that would be great!!!
When I get it I will create another video for you!! The last one has been very popular did you get many requests for NV lenses after I created it?

what is the point of removing the ir filter ?
SurfcastersJournal 6 months ago
@SurfcastersJournal
removing the ir filter allows the gopro hd hero to have nightvision when used with led illumination.
RageCams offers this service & can modify gopro cameras and do lens changes as needed.
This can also be done with the drift hd170 and the contourhd plus.
Thanks
