In this episode of the photography vlog* I have a go at converting one of my generic action cameras, otherwise known as a knockoff GoPro, to infrared by removing the IR filter. Not as easy as I thought it would be.
Also, apologies for some bad framing at various points and forgetting to focus my camera at one point.
Next episode we’ll see how it performs!
*I’m only 18 episodes in and I’ve already messed up the numbering. This is vlog number 18.

I would be really interested to see the result
You need an IR Torch ie a T20 to see through your camera in darkness check out Night Vision Builders on FB the guys there will be more than happy to help you out
I really hope the camera works out for filming at night and will be keeping a keen eye out for the first results. Been thinking about trying some video myself but it's just far too dark for phone and even DSLR when I have tried before. Was thinking about building a No-IR piCam to try but if this works out it seems like a much better option.
Keep up the great work dude!
