37mm 850nm IR pass filter test

Testing my new 37mm 850nm Infrared pass filter with my Sony HDR-HC7 camera. Cloudy dark day 8 am.

See comments for more test results..

Edited in iMovie, tweaked contrast and hue to ged rid of the green nightshot hue.

I hope you will believe me but you did catch a few in your shot of the trees (frames33,34, 35) there are alot of ufos that are small look for orbs that reflect light on all sides, also when they move they will leave behind a black smoke trail and or burst of white vapors. move your camera slower they like the trees to hide in during the day

for some reason they show up on google earth

@tlo0942 UFOs? Ok, perhaps you need to make a video about the UFOs in my video... I don't see anything out of the ordinary...

@chrissydelvalle Did you turn on night vision?

In the time it takes for you to make this clip, my camera's shutter is still open, begging for more light! 850nm may have been a bit too deep for the old girl!

@AreaQNH870 You must enable "night shot" mode. You did that, right? !)

looks good but would be nice to see a standard visual video to compare the two.

@jjuup IR pass filters act as an exposure control when in nightshot because the camera's aperture is opened to the max to prevent the x-ray effect during the day. So if your image is still to bright with a 850nm, just increase the amount of IR light being blocked and try a 920nm or 1000nm filter.

@LikeAVideo Not by default. It might be possible to remove a built-in IR cut filter from the "normal" camera by opening it up thou...
