Guilty! Instead of a $3,000 mirrorless camera that does everything I need I have a dozen $50 - $500 cameraphones and digicams that each do one thing somewhat competently but are horrible at everything else. Just the way I like it.
Yeah, I wonder why phone manufacturers don't implement magnetic attachable lenses design, especially if they position themselves as a photo-oriented company like Red or Leica 🤔
What an inspiring idea. It looked like you mounted the C-Mount adapter using a super-strong epoxy glue. For example, on my full-spectrum-converted Lumix ZS-3, I used Gorilla Weld to mount a 49mm filter adapter to the regular lens allowing me to use regular IR filters on the camera. In Europe I've seen the same kind of epoxy glue under a different brand name. My video is titled: "Converting compact digital camera for Infrared or Full Spectrum photography with filter mount" As for developing a camera for C-Mount lenses, the Raspberry Pi ecosystem has a module which can do that. But, the downside is there's not a good camera software package for the Pi, that I'm aware of. Maybe a Pi running Android? The advantage this has is that it's compact, and the phone can run a wide range of apps including image manipulation apps.
Thanx! I drilled a hole ~25.4mm in diameter in a "camera bump" which is aluminium/plastic sandwich rectangle covered by protective glass layer (it can be removed and drilled without damaging the whole glass back plate). So a C-Mount is screwed very tightly into this hole which already holds it pretty well and only then a glue applied for better fixation. I will make a video describing these details so everybody can mod their own device 🔧
@@ModAndShoot Thank you for this video. I have been wanting cell phone makers to do something like this for a long time. I look forward to your video showing how you made this. I'd have to buy another phone to do this also, I don't think this would work well on my S23 Ultra. I have liked and subscribed because I like this video so much. Thank you!
I'm looking for a way to remove the built-in IR filter glass without damaging the sensor but it's very hard to reach it through the round hole of magnetic coils (VCM actuator) in camera module.
Very good detailed video with lot of effort. as a Professional photographer for over +15 years with studios and love diy projects still I would prefer M42 Lens + Fuji because it has more feel to it and I also have good lenses with my Samsung S22 Ultra + 65mm Portrait lenses they do help and no risk of censor to get dust when I use as a Phone. interesting idea and good aplication. Best wishes for your channel and content 👍
I like the idea of including it into a comparison video. To actually look at the difference in quality between a telephoto prime lens mounted on a C-Mount+adapter/speedbooster VS on a DOF-adapter VS on a real entry-level camera. Added it into my To-Do list 📝
I heard Sharp didn’t utilized the entire 1 inch sensor with the built in lens. Now, you can access the full sensor, though the software may still crop it thinking it's the original lens.
The funny thing is, at the standard 24mm, both the Sharp/Leitz and Sony are cropped into the middle 12MP. They use the same sensor. But the Sharp can zoom out to ultrawide at 19mm, using more of the 20.1MP sensor. The geometries get wonky at ultrawide, though, which is why they both crop in for the regular shots.
I have a Huawei P20 and a P20 Pro just for my love of monochrome sensors (worth it), now I gotta take measurements on the P20 and do the math. Great vid.
Thanx, will definitely try it because the purple tint issue is MUCH more prominent and not really fixable in JPEGs but it can be fixed with flat-field correction in RAW DNGs. So I think the same would be true for recording "regular videos VS raw videos using Motioncam" although I haven't tried it yet.
This would be an interesting tool for social media production pipeline. You'd get similar quality image of a regular camera but without the hassle of transferring the files.
This video should have much more view. This project will be really fun to try. The process to remove the original infared filter with non reflect filter should be quite tricky to do without damaging something though, at least with my shaky hand haha. What a great video. Keep it up!
You are right - looking at the internals I'm not sure (yet) how to do it without damaging the sensor. I wonder if it helps if I just add an additional filter glass on top of it and how it will affect the image quality. Thanks for your support, it gives me motivation to explore this concept even further!
@@ModAndShoot I did read a bit and most of the respond is not good for stacking infared filters. It will block more light to the sensor but we can increase exposure,... to compensate I think. Also we have no idea what kind of original filter is for matching filters. It's kinda hard to find good combo to stack them because of the filter transmission and the wavelength problem. I think we should try alternative way like high transmission film or coating that non reflect too. This project will be much bigger if we use other phone with different sensor, so this will be a long and fun project to dig on
Will try stacking it anyway as the least intrusive way to check the theory about the missing anti-reflective coating being the reason of this purple tint. If it helps, then we can decide how to apply it the best way, probably replacing the built-in glass somehow. But I suspect it might as well be a baked-in camera module library algorithm trying to process Aquos R6 unique 19-mm equivalent lens which gives a lot of light in the center but not much around it. Anyway, I will post a video with a step-by-step instructions on how to modify a smartphone so maybe somebody will do it on a different non-Aquos device with a different sensor/lens and share their results with our modding community 🤖

@@Pottybirdouble if I remove a built-in IR-filter glass it would improve night shots - that's how the night vision cctv cameras doing it. But for now I'm not sure (yet) how to remove it carefully without damaging the sensor.

Brooo first thanks for this amazing video. The idea of making a phone with a big camera lens has been in my head for more than 3 years and believe me your video is one of very few the covers this topic. I was thinking about using a samsung galaxy note 4 cuz it's cheap and can shoot 4k video and you can add in a costum ROM and try some big canon lenses and maybe later you can add in a special motor to add auto focus . Good luck bro 💪 ❤
Big thanks! I chose Aquos R6 because it's cheap and has big 1-inch sensor + the camera bump is centered and can be disassembled and drilled without back plate being completely destroyed. My next 'victim' will be Aquos R7 because it has even better 47.2mp 1-inch sensor and can record 4K 120fps which is somewhat a rare feature even for regular cameras 🤩 There are already motorized C-Mount lens made for cctv cameras, I wonder if it's possible to connect them somehow via Type-C and add code to open-source camera app like Open Camera to support autofocus 🤓
@@ModAndShoot or rig up a diy version of the dji Lidar focusing system ? a cheap ultrasound sensor to calculate depth and a motor with gears to spin the focus rings all while being powered by the phone or a power bank

Just saved this video to watch later. Having the phone screen be the native screen would be so nice. I love my sony but sometimes the screen is not enough, Im looking at getting a monitor for it but this is such a cool idea. Ive got a couple older phones laying around. Might have to start a project soon..
@@ModAndShoot Absolutley! I have a Samsung A71 5G with a 64MP that I am curios to try this on. I had upgraded so I dont have a use for it till now. it does have multiple cameras though would that be an issue? I am assuming they all run off the same large sensor but this is pretty new to me
@@PapiJonk each camera has its own sensor, you should focus on the biggest one. A71 cameras are placed very close to each other so there's a chance that a C-Mount will simply block secondary cameras view, but I can not say that for sure without proper measuring just looking at the pictures. What's good is that A71 has a plastic back plate so you can drill it easily unlike the phones with all-glass body. In the next video I will give some advices on how to do it properly and minimize the risk of damaging so stay tuned!
@@ModAndShoot That was absolutley a concern of mine. Im wondering if (depending on the location of the 64MP sensor and the video sensor) it would both possible and logical to try and make the mount with a lockable slider. Then you can attatch a lens and move between the two sensors? I wouldnt care too much to not have the other ones except maybe macro, but I think that could be taken care of with a macro lens on top of the 64mp right? I will definetly be looking out for the next video, you've got me super interested in this haha
Graphene CMOS are x1000 more sensitive and paired with metalens phone camera's can be even better than bulky professional camera's, and also be super compact even with super zoom lens.
Considering this video came days before the iPhone 16 pro release, I can sense something interesting coming. I hope you make more of these sensor mods with point and shoo cams and so on , you earned an subscriber!
There is no comparison. iPhone uses a super small Tele sensor with a size of around 1/3.06" which is basically the size of a selfie camera sensor not a flagship Tele one. The only phone that can compete at the moment is the Vivo X100U with a 85mm 1/1.4" which is best tele on any smartphone currently available out of the box. Btw if you use Gcam on that Sony it's also much better depending on the scene.
Will definitely do it - I shoot photos only in RAW because the purple tint is not really fixable in JPEGs so I think the same would apply for "regular video vs RAW video" although haven't tested it yet.
@@iDeLeo007 there are already many "C-Mount to full frame camera lens" adapters available, I'm not sure it would be beneficial to 3D-print them unless there is no specific adapter existing yet.
I wish phone manufacturers would create a camera setup like this. If the mount is standardized on phones, manufacturers would no longer have to worry about lenses anymore. Let the consumer buy what THEY want. I made a similar video talking about the same idea of replaceable lenses. Maybe if Nokia returned, this sounds like them. They were always on the bleeding edge of design.
now this is why i pay my internet bills ..great experiment i would recomend u to also include video performance using pro video apps for android like mcpro24fps , motioncam pro .. keep up the work ..cheers
Yeah, this is what Leica really should have done if they try to get into smartphone market - give us possibility to use it as a photo camera with interchangeable lens! They could make them magnetically attached and make a ton of cash selling lens and accessories.
I love my ancient Canon G5-X Mark 1 which used to fit into my jeans pocket and has a nice EV-F and an F1.8 4X zoom lens - perfect travel camera so I bought another spare
2 phones ago my Galaxy had a case with 2 lens (a zoom and a wide angle) that could attach to said case. the who thing was purchasable through Samsung. All my pictures from my year in Korea were taken with this setup. Once I got to Japan I invested in my first camera that has done well for me the last 7 years.
pretty cool for a hack. But getting a second hand top DSLR from some years ago will give you better control, handling and image quality and you can still adapt the unique and/or crappy lenses
@@ModAndShoot keeping my eyes open 👀 Also have you ever heard of back-bone gear? They mod c-mount onto gopros, and once tested out a mod for the sony xperia 5 II, though they never officially sold it.
Nice idea, especially considering that those devices with camera modules not centered but aligned very close to one side of the phone body will need something like a custom 3D-printed phone case anyways to hold the C-Mount.
I went to your profile to see more videos and cannot believe this is your first video on the channel. I am looking forward for more. Would love to see your thoughts on the DOF adapters as thats the simplest route for layman like me.
Thanx! I'm planning to buy some "C-Mount to Full Frame" adapter + a SpeedBooster and then compare the same exact lens on DOF versus this setup, should be fun.
Love it! Canon XL2 has similar size sensor, and a huge professional lens.. I tried to use my Canon XL2 lens for a similar project, but the lens aperture is locked close, so it is not possible to use on anything else than the original camera. 😞
really interested in this, I want to see really cool cinema lens on this setup, subbed, can't wait for mode videos like this! A 15 pro iphone with Apple Log - omg that would be amazing. Too bad that's going to be freakin' expensive to do!
Hey, check out my Instagram, I've posted a short test video there today. It works well if you shoot in RAW with force disabled built-in vignette-correction. But now I'm working on developing lens-correction profiles and applying them in a convenient way to fully compensate for that disabled option.
I would definetly recommend c mount Sony TV zoom 20-80 mm f2.5 zoom lens or if you are willing to spend more you could try m42 Meteor 5-1 17-69mm f1.9 zoom lens I was also wondering if there will be any insteuctions or further info on how to make it, because I absolutly love the idea, dreamt of this being a thing and I have some c mount lenses which I dont have a use for
Очень очень интересно, я уже очень давно думаю как бы научится прикручивать разные объективы к телефонам, всё же оптика очень важна, а и очень интересно хорошую оптику соединить вместе с алгоритмами телефонов таких как hdr+ от гугл. Ждём новых видео!!!
This is such an interesting project! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. Also, if I understood well, your moded phone doesn't have an infrared hot mirror? If that's the case, you should try some infrared photography! It's really fun.
Please do more videos! Very cool. Just as an FYI, there were a few smartphones out there with variable apertures, can't remember them all right now though.
i did the same thing with a samsung galaxy s7 a few months ago used a 300mm canon lens to capture amazing images of the moon and like you i was inspired by the xiaomi phone gteat work
In my opinion, it's a brilliant concept, and I love Xiaomi's approach, but it's disappointing they didn't take it beyond just an idea. People suggest just getting a mirrorless camera, but here's the thing: phones are way more compact, and 98% of the time, I have my phone with me. Plus, a phone serves so many other purposes. If a company perfected this concept-using a single 1" or 4/3" sensor with interchangeable lenses, instead of multiple small sensors-it could be a game-changer. Even if the phone came with just a basic 24mm lens and other lenses were sold as add-ons, I think a lot of photography enthusiasts would appreciate that option. Take the Vivo X100 Ultra, for example-it’s using a larger sensor for its telephoto lens, making the phone bulkier anyway. So, eventually, this kind of solution is what companies will aim for as they push the limits of smartphone photography.
Hopefully, we see something like that soon! It would be awesome to have the flexibility of a camera with the ease of a phone. But for now we can only enjoy the quest of DIY exploration of this concept which is even more exciting for me 👨🔧
people will do anything to avoid buying a camera

If you decide to do it please share the results with us! Which of your old phones have the best camera sensor?
@@ModAndShoot Absolutley! I have a Samsung A71 5G with a 64MP that I am curios to try this on. I had upgraded so I dont have a use for it till now. it does have multiple cameras though would that be an issue? I am assuming they all run off the same large sensor but this is pretty new to me
@@PapiJonk each camera has its own sensor, you should focus on the biggest one. A71 cameras are placed very close to each other so there's a chance that a C-Mount will simply block secondary cameras view, but I can not say that for sure without proper measuring just looking at the pictures. What's good is that A71 has a plastic back plate so you can drill it easily unlike the phones with all-glass body. In the next video I will give some advices on how to do it properly and minimize the risk of damaging so stay tuned!
@@ModAndShoot That was absolutley a concern of mine. Im wondering if (depending on the location of the 64MP sensor and the video sensor) it would both possible and logical to try and make the mount with a lockable slider. Then you can attatch a lens and move between the two sensors? I wouldnt care too much to not have the other ones except maybe macro, but I think that could be taken care of with a macro lens on top of the 64mp right? I will definetly be looking out for the next video, you've got me super interested in this haha
@@PapiJonk that sliding mechanism would be a technical miracle, I'm just drilling holes in phones and screwing in C-Mounts for now 😄
Great work man 🫡👏
Keep it up brother love to see more improvement and more creativity
Great job. Look forward to the step by step
Graphene CMOS are x1000 more sensitive and paired with metalens phone camera's can be even better than bulky professional camera's, and also be super compact even with super zoom lens.
bro this is dope as fuck, I wish some phone company makes something like this at some point
holy moly cool stuff bro
Thanx! Welcome to our smartphone modding community 🪛😎🔧
More videos please, this is fab!
Thanks, there will be more 🚀
Considering this video came days before the iPhone 16 pro release, I can sense something interesting coming.
I hope you make more of these sensor mods with point and shoo cams and so on , you earned an subscriber!
There is no comparison.
iPhone uses a super small Tele sensor with a size of around 1/3.06" which is basically the size of a selfie camera sensor not a flagship Tele one. The only phone that can compete at the moment is the Vivo X100U with a 85mm 1/1.4" which is best tele on any smartphone currently available out of the box.
Btw if you use Gcam on that Sony it's also much better depending on the scene.
Can you do tutorial on how you mount the "c mount"?
you got my subscribe, now i'm waiting for next test 🤝
I was literally waiting for someone to do this
I have been trying to do this for so long! finally you did it! this is amazing!
When you ready to try Motiomcam raw video, looking forward for your tests :D with pure raw
Will definitely do it - I shoot photos only in RAW because the purple tint is not really fixable in JPEGs so I think the same would apply for "regular video vs RAW video" although haven't tested it yet.
@@ModAndShoot cannot you 3d print a mount for lens so you can use camera lens
@@iDeLeo007 there are already many "C-Mount to full frame camera lens" adapters available, I'm not sure it would be beneficial to 3D-print them unless there is no specific adapter existing yet.
I wish phone manufacturers would create a camera setup like this. If the mount is standardized on phones, manufacturers would no longer have to worry about lenses anymore. Let the consumer buy what THEY want. I made a similar video talking about the same idea of replaceable lenses. Maybe if Nokia returned, this sounds like them. They were always on the bleeding edge of design.
now this is why i pay my internet bills ..great experiment
i would recomend u to also include video performance using pro video apps for android like mcpro24fps , motioncam pro .. keep up the work ..cheers
Thanx, I forgot the name of mcpro24fps app but you reminded it to me, will test it as well as MotionCam 👍
Awesome. The most frustrating thing about the R6/Leitz Phone 1 is the limited range of that 19mm lens.
Can't wait to see the comparisons.
Yeah, this is what Leica really should have done if they try to get into smartphone market - give us possibility to use it as a photo camera with interchangeable lens! They could make them magnetically attached and make a ton of cash selling lens and accessories.
@@ModAndShoot instead, all we get is a Sharp reskin with extra filters. Ah well. Looking forward to the next video!
Друже, це чудово! Сподіваюсь, що канал швидко зросте. Контент і його якість топові!
Дякую за підтримку 🤗
I love my ancient Canon G5-X Mark 1 which used to fit into my jeans pocket and has a nice EV-F and an F1.8 4X zoom lens - perfect travel camera so I bought another spare
2 phones ago my Galaxy had a case with 2 lens (a zoom and a wide angle) that could attach to said case. the who thing was purchasable through Samsung. All my pictures from my year in Korea were taken with this setup. Once I got to Japan I invested in my first camera that has done well for me the last 7 years.
3:54 its nice to notice the first device with this feature was Huawei p60 pro
pretty cool for a hack. But getting a second hand top DSLR from some years ago will give you better control, handling and image quality and you can still adapt the unique and/or crappy lenses
this was way too cool :D, sign me up for when you release the guide
Now you just need Motioncam pro and you can shoot CinemaDNG raw video.
✅
Already got it and the quality of video recording is so much better than with the default camera app!
@@ModAndShoot Hope to see Videos from motioncam with that mod .
@@InzamamulShaikh-567 MotionCam 4K RAW video footage has just been uploaded into the channel, check it out 👁
@@ModAndShoot I Just Saw it , Its looks Great!
This is so cool!! I would absolutely love to use c-mount lenses on my phone.
Awesome, then the next video describing the whole process step-by-step will be useful for you. I hope more people try this and share their experience.
@@ModAndShoot keeping my eyes open 👀
Also have you ever heard of back-bone gear? They mod c-mount onto gopros, and once tested out a mod for the sony xperia 5 II, though they never officially sold it.
This is such a crazy idea, I really love it!! Maybe you could add a 3D printed case that have a tripod mount?
Nice idea, especially considering that those devices with camera modules not centered but aligned very close to one side of the phone body will need something like a custom 3D-printed phone case anyways to hold the C-Mount.
I went to your profile to see more videos and cannot believe this is your first video on the channel. I am looking forward for more. Would love to see your thoughts on the DOF adapters as thats the simplest route for layman like me.
Thanx! I'm planning to buy some "C-Mount to Full Frame" adapter + a SpeedBooster and then compare the same exact lens on DOF versus this setup, should be fun.
I was thinking of this for a long time, you read my mind and made it🎉
this mod is so wild 😮
What is the distance from the lens to the sensor? And how to measure it?
Love it!
Canon XL2 has similar size sensor, and a huge professional lens..
I tried to use my Canon XL2 lens for a similar project, but the lens aperture is locked close, so it is not possible to use on anything else than the original camera. 😞
So XL2 lens aperture can not be set manually by rotating parts of the lens?
Great video and project! Subscribed.
This is craazy !
Appreciated ❤
Interesting mod. I remember watching a similar mod being done on Nokia N8 a long time ago.
really interested in this, I want to see really cool cinema lens on this setup, subbed, can't wait for mode videos like this! A 15 pro iphone with Apple Log - omg that would be amazing. Too bad that's going to be freakin' expensive to do!
not to mention the great OIS!
Yeah, I selected R6 because I could get it for just $150 ☺️
Awesome. I would mount my Pentax Auto 110 lenses. Very tiny, light weight and they should fit perfectly. I modded my Sony RX0Mk2 for that :)
Not a good idea, with the 2.7x crop factor you will get worst DoF than native smartphone lens. Would be fun tho
Could you record some videos with the new lenses? How good it is working?
Hey, check out my Instagram, I've posted a short test video there today. It works well if you shoot in RAW with force disabled built-in vignette-correction. But now I'm working on developing lens-correction profiles and applying them in a convenient way to fully compensate for that disabled option.
My god, what a cool idea!
I would definetly recommend c mount Sony TV zoom 20-80 mm f2.5 zoom lens or if you are willing to spend more you could try m42 Meteor 5-1 17-69mm f1.9 zoom lens
I was also wondering if there will be any insteuctions or further info on how to make it, because I absolutly love the idea, dreamt of this being a thing and I have some c mount lenses which I dont have a use for
Очень очень интересно, я уже очень давно думаю как бы научится прикручивать разные объективы к телефонам, всё же оптика очень важна, а и очень интересно хорошую оптику соединить вместе с алгоритмами телефонов таких как hdr+ от гугл.
Ждём новых видео!!!
epic modification
Use LMC Gcam for better quality and image processing if the phone supports it
This is such an interesting project! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.
Also, if I understood well, your moded phone doesn't have an infrared hot mirror? If that's the case, you should try some infrared photography! It's really fun.
Thanx! It has IR-filter glass and I'm not sure yet how to remove it properly without damaging the sensor.
Please do more videos! Very cool.
Just as an FYI, there were a few smartphones out there with variable apertures, can't remember them all right now though.
Thanx! You are right, now there are also Xiaomi 13 Ultra, 14 Ultra and HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro that have variable aperture as well.
@@ModAndShoot I've also got a feeling the very first phone to feature it was the Samsung Galaxy S9!
Mind-blowing 🤯 Definitely try to make a video on how you modified the phone
Thanx, I'll make a guide so more people can try it on their phones 🧑🔧 Would you do it with your device?
@@ModAndShoot my cousin and i once removed the infrared filter from a phone camera for better astrophotography. So i might
i did the same thing with a samsung galaxy s7 a few months ago used a 300mm canon lens to capture amazing images of the moon and like you i was inspired by the xiaomi phone gteat work
That's awesome! How did you do it? Can you share more details and some photos of your project?
flagship phones : Am I a joke
In my opinion, it's a brilliant concept, and I love Xiaomi's approach, but it's disappointing they didn't take it beyond just an idea. People suggest just getting a mirrorless camera, but here's the thing: phones are way more compact, and 98% of the time, I have my phone with me. Plus, a phone serves so many other purposes. If a company perfected this concept-using a single 1" or 4/3" sensor with interchangeable lenses, instead of multiple small sensors-it could be a game-changer. Even if the phone came with just a basic 24mm lens and other lenses were sold as add-ons, I think a lot of photography enthusiasts would appreciate that option. Take the Vivo X100 Ultra, for example-it’s using a larger sensor for its telephoto lens, making the phone bulkier anyway. So, eventually, this kind of solution is what companies will aim for as they push the limits of smartphone photography.
Hopefully, we see something like that soon! It would be awesome to have the flexibility of a camera with the ease of a phone. But for now we can only enjoy the quest of DIY exploration of this concept which is even more exciting for me 👨🔧
@@ModAndShoot sure! Good luck and keep us informed how its going, but the results are already amazing.
I like the creativity. , keep going 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
I don't seem to find a seperate c-mount like the one you put on the exposed sensor.
Nice project
Very interesting idea
Very impressive!
Damn, that’s interesting
Pentax 110 lenses would be awesome I think
