    Project: DIY Polarizing filter for the Xiaomi Yi (free!)

    What's all that plastic stuff? is this the cutter from your CNC machine or something? I so want one. If I ever win the lottery I'd probably buy one of these. Just for fun. Also dude. Please reduce the size of your image. That's excessive even if it were showing some procedure, but a static...

    Project: DIY Polarizing filter for the Xiaomi Yi (free!)

    The whole idea is it takes a half hour and you make it from (essentially) trash, for free and with tools that everyone is guaranteed to have, and it's more re-usable than just taping the film over your lens. In America, everyone with kids has some polarized 3D movie glasses somewhere, usually...

    Xiaomi Yi Custom firmware with lastest revision

    Hi sYCO, welcome back! but damn man, why clutter up a firmware thread with video editor requests? Dude. I started a conversation with you with some links, but if you'd like more feedback, maybe post (and read) in the Managing / Editing Videos subforum?

    Asian version with metal cover + different battery

    Your coma aside, yea the 990mA battery and the metal door are international versions, but that battery heatseal is in Chinese... hmm... without googling, my guess is now all production is the international style. I have no idea, but thanks for sharing!

    Project: DIY Polarizing filter for the Xiaomi Yi (free!)

    That is the best reason, because you don't like it! But, again, in talking optical properties, it does not affect the performance. I understand some people are driven by aesthetics, whereas I am 100% function over form. And, sadly, I have not seen any colored bottle caps in the half-height...

    Xiaomi Yi: Disassembling to add external power and trigger wires

    My heart skips a beat everytime I see an exposed sensor. :-) Looking good! And considering you cut the port with a utility knife? Beautiful surgery. Q: any interference with those tiny, unshielded wires becoming antennas, when the uC pulls the pin up/down to simulate button presses?

    Project: DIY Polarizing filter for the Xiaomi Yi (free!)

    Reflections? It's literally 1/3mm above the lens; there's no reflection from a thin cap like this. I tested this with the same white dome I use for calculating vignetting correction, there was zero difference. If the sun angle was just precisely so, I guess it's possible it could cause a flare...

    Project: DIY Polarizing filter for the Xiaomi Yi (free!)

    Hey. So here's a very simple project you might like. Really simple. Like scrapbooking, but, you know, useful. It shouldn't take anyone more than half an hour and doesn't require any special tools*. You guys have been so helpful to me, I'm hoping at least one person finds this useful as well...

    Yi battery usage with WIFI ON

    Yes it is normal - for my two, anyway. 23Ls. I would assume most are this way. Why do you think that's a lot? These batteries are *tiny* !! If I charge today, tomorrow night it will have self-drained from sleep mode to the low voltage cutoff. ~20 hrs without wifi on, about 2.5h with, never timed...

    DNG Color Profile

    Hey Talanis, are you still around dashcamtalk? Could you / would you share your color checker RAW images, maybe even in various lighting scenarios, pre-DNG? A lot of us are open-source users, and while I can reverse your dct with dcttool, I would love to be able to play around w/o having to buy...

    Xiaomi Yi Custom firmware with lastest revision

    As someone who has intentionally over-driven slow MicroSDXC cards for hours, that is not the behaviour. The only thing I've ever seen, even @ 50mbit, is they just drop frames, you'll get 'dead spots' every second or so, the length of which depending on just how slow the card is... it has never...

    Xiaomi Yi Custom firmware with lastest revision

    @ovu Not to hijack the thread, but since you put it here... if you can afford another 6-12oz on the frame, I would highly suggest buying or building a 'tank' battery. 0:45 running 2k/1296@30 or 1080/60 is all you can expect from these little things! This little on-board 990-1010mA battery? C =...

    HOW TO: Stabilizing your video

    Hi. No, not really. They are all different ways to arrive at the same destination. Well the shortest answer is, stick with ffmpeg. ImageJ requires a pretty steep learning curve if you don't already know it, and Mathworks is a proprietary licensed product; easy enough to pirate since every math...

    Out of the Box Latest FW1.2.13 Focused or Not? Please help

    Hi. So, what exactly are you asking? Do you not trust your eyes? imo, YES that is pretty well focused, geeksified. Look at the kokuryu girl left-center. look at the barstool dead center. look at the contrasty white-on-black graphic lampshade... all look pretty good to me! But the whole nature...

    HOW TO: Stabilizing your video

    Hey all. Not to hijack the thread, but considering it's a HOWTO: Stabilizing your video subject, everyone will find this. I just wanted to point out, we were doing this software-only video stabilization nearly a decade before someone added it to ffmpeg. In the science world, we needed to...

    Yi hacked resolution 2304x1296 30fps 35Mbits

    Hey nutsey, funnel, et al... The spec sheet for the IMX206 clearly shows that can do 2304 × 1296 @ 10-bit @ 60fps, what are the odds of enabling it at any bitrate? I would also love to see that top mode somehow enabled too, if it's exposed by the processor/code and accessible... full pixel...
