Frankencam…it’s Aliiiiiiive! 5D MKII in a Betacam body
Published by Matthew Jeppsen October 23rd, 2009 in Cameras, DIY, News
Awesome. Phil Bloom is linking to a rental-only package offered by a company in Sydney…they’ve integrated a Canon 5D MKII into a professional Sony betacam shouldmount body, calling it the Hyper 35.
Hyper 35 features in addition to what the 5D offers:
* Electronic B&W or Colour viewfinder
* On board 7″ SD director/client colour monitor
* On board stereo camera audio & pre-amp with Sennheiseer M66 camera microphone
* and/or on board 48k/96k 2 track flash recorder
They’ve got stills and a comparison video showing the video results side by side with pro 2/3 cameras here. It looks like it’s only being offered for rental at present, but there is a contact note on the bottom of one of the pages; “Convert your old Sony Betacam to a Hyper 35 or express an interest in a proposed new body.” Looks pretty cool.

Okay, this is cool in concept since the 5D form factor sucks ass for real video shooting. It’s the hack of all hacks but hacked ’cause the hack is needed. There’s one big problem though …. it still shoots to shitty H264. But it shoots to that more comfortably!
yo dawg, I heard you liked cameras. So we put a camera in yo camera..
