 How's it going guys? Today I wanted to share with you this really cool open source project that I just recently found out about. I'm frankly pretty surprised that I haven't heard about it before. And that is the CinePie. So this is an open source cinema camera that you build using a Raspberry Pi. I'm pretty sure that you have to use a Raspberry Pi 4 or something that's got higher specifications than that because well I think for the data rates with recording I don't think the lower end Raspberry Pies are really gonna be compatible. Maybe with a really low-end camera it would be. But yeah this is a cinema camera like a professional grade camera that you can build yourself using open source hardware you know DIY hardware and open source software. And so we've got some of the features here it's using a super 8-sized sensor from so that's a Sony IMX 477 and you can also put other sensors in this that I've you know been looking into this a little bit like reading on some of the Raspberry Pi forums which I'll show you guys as well. But you know you can change sensors on this thing it supports 12-bit cinema DNG recording. You've got a 4-inch high-res touchscreen interface which that's gonna be modular as well. You've got an internal high-capacity battery I'm sure that's modular too you can probably put bigger batteries in there. Let's see USB 3.0 external SSD recording. This is probably modular too because I see that there's an Ethernet port on the Raspberry Pi which I'm pretty sure is gigabit Ethernet so you know you can probably do pretty sure you can do full HD over a you know gigabit data line probably just not with a terribly high frame rate but maybe 30 FPS would work. So let's see where else were we 40 millimeter knocked to a cooling system which again that's gonna be modular as well. Maybe you could even water cool it you know and have a loop going somewhere else if you needed it to be extra super quiet. But yeah here's the build guide for it and it's actually surprisingly very very easy to build this the you know it looks really intimidating but reading through this build guide the most complicated thing that you really have to do is solder some wires and they're even hoping one day like they say here future designs will explore the use of more highly refined processes such as consolidating many of the external components onto a single custom design PCB and the familiar Raspberry Pi hat form factor so eventually you're not even gonna have to you know get out a soldering nail and deal with doing that stuff but if we take a look at the parts list here to build it so of course Raspberry Pi 4 which wow are they really 35 to 75 dollars again hang on I got a I got to check this real quick. Yeah looks like it is yeah that's the 8 gig model for 75 dollars all right well it's good to see that the price of our pies have come down but yeah that's 75 dollars so the Raspberry Pi HQ camera which let's see does this have the specifications real quick I don't think it's yeah I don't think it's on here but I was reading up on this camera earlier and I'm pretty sure it's a 4k camera that can do I think up to 50 FPS so again like that's really good that's definitely gonna be good enough to do a professional level in my opinion professional level level cinema I mean I do YouTube videos so you know I know a little bit about video but not necessarily on that level but we're gonna take a look at some videos in a minute that were actually shot with this thing and you tell me whether or not you think it's professional level but all of these parts added together and then these things here that aren't listed are just super cheap I mean they're literally like a dollar or less than a dollar or I think for the knock to a fan I think this is like let's see I think it's like $17 or so but yeah it's not very expensive to build this out I think with all the parts listed here you're looking at about 250 maybe 300 dollars to assemble this camera and actually I have a video here from Cine Pi so definitely make sure you subscribe to their channel showing the hands-on camera I mean it's a good-looking camera too this this case is 3d printed and I'm pretty sure that you can download the specifications and they have details on here about the materials that you want for the yeah here we go for the 3d printing so here are the materials that they recommend using for that but of course you could go higher end with this or you could go you could do a different design I mean if you're 3d printing the case for your camera literally anything is possible I mean it's such a good-looking camera too like I I would imagine you know if you were to bust this thing out amongst some film nerds that have their Sony cameras or their Canon cameras I don't think they can really turn their nose about you I mean it looks good it's not a janky looking camera and again you could get larger viewfinders if you wanted to pretty sure that they make a couple different viewfinders that are compatible the Raspberry Pi I mean this looks really good and again with the cost of it I might actually try to order these parts and see if I can build one of these myself because let's take a look at some video that's actually shot with this camera now so this is also on Cine Pi's channel Ocean Odyssey I mean it looks really nice like this is probably good enough quality wise to be on like the TVs that you would see in a Best Buy or a Walmart when they have their who is it called in Best Buy the Magnolia TVs when they're in kind of the little theater room setting let this run on it there's no reason to pay a whole bunch of money to you know Sony or whatever to have them send someone out with their fancy camera to do this you could do with open source hardware open source software here's another one so this is made by school posts but he said that he was using it might even be in the description here okay so it looks like it's broken down some of it is filmed with the black magic pocket cinema camera about 50% but 40% of it is filmed with the Cine Pi version too I don't know if he necessarily shows us but again this is a I mean this is like we're watching a movie right now guys someone past the popcorn all right I don't know if this is a copy written or not so we're not gonna watch too much further past the fancy German car but I mean are you not impressed by this this is made with a fully open source camera okay here's another one looks like yes so this was entirely shot using the Cine Pi 2k okay so it's high quality guys I mean look well looks like we could do 4k and Vimeo but anyway it's done in its full frame mode yeah using the entire sensors that's 2028 by 1520 rated and edited in Resolve 17 so Resolve well Resolve is not open source I will mention this it runs on Linux you can run DaVinci Resolve on pretty much any Linux distro I'm not sure I mean I'm sure it has certain library dependencies and stuff but I don't think it has like a dependency on system D or anything like that but anyway the day at the range I mean come on this is good quality stuff and let's let's move me out the way I miss good very easily be the opening scene to a movie to a TV show I mean just professional gray B roll this is legit this is a really really legit camera so here's the Raspberry Pi forums where you're talking about a bit more so look at this this is another I mean this if you didn't think that this other one looked legit I mean okay look this one here that's one thing right but this is what it could be and you can reuse so many of these components you can use the same Raspberry Pi you can probably use the same image sensor I'm not sure if he mentions here which image sensor he uses short test 3d printed C amount this amount yeah I think this is using the same sensor different lens which in the world of you know photography and professional video you've got different lenses like that's kind of the only thing that is really that modular with these cameras and sometimes the viewfinders are too like sometimes you know a few finders and you can plug in microphones and stuff like that but you can't deconstruct your cameras and use a CPU from one in the image sensor from another and then rebuild it into a Sony camera or Canon camera at least as far as I'm aware I mean I'm not that much of a video nerd but I don't think that's a thing now it is with this Raspberry Pi camera and there is another Raspberry Pi coming out soon or it might have already come out the Raspberry Pi 5 so that's going to like if there's any data limitations I think I might have read somewhere on these forums or somewhere else that the current limitation is this 2028 by 1520 at 50 frames per second but that might get bumped up a bit with the newer Raspberry Pi that comes out newer sensors that come out like I think it might actually be in this thread I'm not going to try to find exactly where they quoted it but somewhere in this thread about the cine camera the Raspberry Pi cine camera they said that they were testing the image sensor from this camera here the black magic pocket cinema camera 4k so you've got even higher resolution that's possible with this maybe you know better I think it's also a larger sensor so that's going to just give you better overall quality with your photos and with your videos so once you're able to get that sensor and the Raspberry Pi 5 comes out you can upgrade your cine Pi version 2 maybe we'll call that like a cine Pi version 3 but you don't have to buy a whole new camera you don't have to spend $1295 like you would if you were buying a new proprietary camera because see when new cameras come out like when Sony or black magic or whoever is making these new cameras they might just have one might have a larger viewfinder one might just have a larger image sensor one might be able to take larger batteries something like that and instead of being able to get all of that in one camera instead of saying hey I want to use the battery pack from this camera on that camera you can't do that with this but you can do that with the open source hardware so yeah I mean it's it's something that I'm really really impressed by definitely follow cine Pi on YouTube and follow this project on GitHub if you're able to help them contribute to the project there's several different repositories that are associated with it yeah so here's all the different libraries and stuff like that let's see lib camera and this is actually something camera library for Linux, Android and Chrome OS so yeah if you're able to help them out with that this this is something that's really really impressive because being able to use a camera like this is probably gonna save people a whole lot of money because again like I said paying all this money for cameras where one generation of a camera is just gonna give you realistically like one or two hundred dollars worth of upgrades instead of having to pay a thousand dollars for that you could just pay the one or two hundred dollars and add those upgrades to your cine pi camera so check out the project and come and find it shirts are available on base.win as always 10% discount store wide when you're using Monero XMR like and comment to hack
