Raspberry Pi 4K Cinema Camera

An improved software version based on the previous generation

Added more expansion interfaces and led out common GPIO interfaces for encoder control and recording switches

A new, larger screen is used to achieve a waist-level viewfinder-like feel

(A pop-up hood for the waist-level viewfinder will be updated later)

Stronger battery life compared to the previous generation (with more space than the previous generation, configured with two 21700 cells, capable of installing up to 3 cells) and support for a new UPS charging-while-discharging function

and wide voltage input of 9V-16V for the DC interface

Using a faster solid-state drive via PCIe, this M43 format cinema camera can shoot 4K60fps footage

Optimized the open-source project cinepi-raw to support updated versions of libcamera

Took advantage of the weekend holiday to visit a car show and captured some interesting footage

I've been quite busy lately and haven't made many hardware improvements, only optimized the shooting software

This cinema camera still supports a replaceable sensor design, and when paired with the IMX283 and a burgundy lens, it can achieve excellent telephoto effects

My photography skills are limited, and the images are compressed, so just enjoy them for fun, haha

It's still quite rough at the moment, with only basic shooting functions implemented

If you like this work

A complete tutorial will be released later, and the model is not yet perfect and will be updated subsequently
