Any updates or news? I have not really played with my pi since I use it to watch things.

We got that for 8$ during black friday. Depending on how much and what noise is in the background it does a good or not as good job. We intended it to be used for leveling out speech from stage, but for now it sounded funky due to lots of ambient noise and hiss. But the leveling part seem to be pretty good.

And since it captures the entire circle you can add lots of post effects like out of frame bloom/flare etc.

No matter how you look at it the more you diffuse the more light you are going to loose.
You could put a filter between two acrylic sheets, LEE 251 for example. But it's somewhat directional and have some bleed through but not much. Maybe two sheets separated by a space would give you decent diffuse with decent light transmission and only loose maybe a stop.
Diffuse silicon put on acrylic could work but again, you are going to loose decent amount of like.
 
The more even your light source is the less diffusion is needed to make it smooth. If you can find an older LCD TV that had back lit CFL, those had pretty good diffusion. Or if you can edge light a newer TV that would be pretty even too.

Feels like todays vlogger need 4k 60p, can probably thank gopro for that.
Good microphone preamp.
Tilty flippy screen.
IBIS.
Light weight and decently sized.
No recording limit.
Good AF.
 
So it needs to have all that if they want to market it towards vloggers. If it is what the G90 shuold have been then it might be close to perfect camera for many uses.

That looks like temporal NR gone wrong.
Don't really look like compression artifact, but could be broken compressor.
By the looks in the quick glance I gave the youtube video it's probably noise reduction. Sony likes to use massive temporal noise reduction to pretend their cameras are good in low light.
In one of the images it looks like ghost teeth on the phone.so it might be broken memory compression or something.

It's impossible to use CS lenses on C-mount, so it kinda have to be the other way around.

Agreed, if anyone can make a good working solution it's you.
I have a Pi 3 with normal camera module and happy to test something out.
I'm mostly interested in a HDMI out to external recorder and as studio camera, my experiments with raspivid was promising but could not figure out how to tame some of the manual settings.
I take it the hammer is in case it does not work out?

Well its a nice day here so I've set myself up on the balcony to do this al fresco and have gathered together the components that I need for my particular style of product development.

I did some flash triggering of things dropping into a water tank some years ago. Candles work pretty well for that.
Had optic trigger and an old HP signal/trigger generator to adjust timing. Camera was Hasselblad something with digital back.
And before you consider doing it in the living room let me tell you that bathroom is the better alternative.

This is the source they say they used for the original, not the one you linked.
They do link the other one as "original" to look more impressive.
The coloring is cool but it's not really much better that the original imo. Sharper edges tho.
*edit* It does add some detail but it's spotty on what it decides to enhance. This is the first frame.

CPU or encoder chip is really not the problem, you can cool that with a relatively small heat sink and you will be fine, it really does not take much to actually process an image. What heats up is readout of the sensor and blanking it, and the lower rolling shutter you want the harder it gets. Tiny sensors mean less distance and less resistance so less heat. That is why Sony needed BSI to stand a chance while gh4 shot 4k just fine.

We need someone to make a box with a sensor, processor and SDI/HDMI and fittings for water cooling. For studio use or external recorder. Just feed it 5V or 12V for power since you want to rig it anyway.

Can you connect gopro to a wifi network? If so you can add some mesh AP to extend the range. Probably exist some USB powered versions to use with power bank.
If the gopro can only present itself as a network you could connect to it with an AP and have that extend the signal.
If you want some cheap point to point link I like the UBNT NanoStation LocoM2 or M5 (there is a now AC version too). They can be set to work as AP, station (connect to network) or router if you need that too. Think most if not all of 24V passive poe so should not be hard to power it.

Crap, I clicked on the Shane video since I have no idea who that is and now YouTube is going to haunt me forever because of it.

Well at least they can now use their very high rolling shutter design to great effect, the need to stop as to not over heat and constantly charge is a feature since it allows the user to meet new people and get connected, just not with a phone unless you pay extra for the app.

If it doesn't work you get scammed, if it does work you scammed PayPal/Amazon.

The Pi has a hardware encoder/decoder too, albeit not at 4K.
There is no doubt that the extra £50-60 for the Jetson Nano will give you more scope to do more things both in the short and longer term, although the Pi4 has a newer, faster CPU the GPU in the Nano makes it a better package for a lot of applications.
The M.2 slot is actually an M.2 Key-E interface that is primarily intended to add a Wifi/Bluetooth interface which the basic unit lacks, unlike the Pi.
You can get adapter shields to enable you to add the drives though but its more cost and more form factor as well.
The community aspect of the Pi is obviously far more established so you'll find a ton of resources for it to do a myriad of different things and the drivers etc are more mature whereas with the Jetson Nano its very early days in comparison and most users of them (such as me  ) are using them for developing machine learning projects so you might not find as much experienced help for the Nano for your particular application.
Having said all that, because of the commonality of key parts such as the HDMI CSI converter, screens, drives etc then you won't lose out by going either route and then changing your mind and going the other way !
Comparison here between them for general use.
 

I don't know where you're based but CEX in the UK currently have one for £125.

MPB are always a good source of used Atomos monitor/recorders.
They don't currently have a Ninja 2 but they have quite a few of the later Ninja Blades for a fair price, which will give you a slightly bigger screen and a bump in resolution over the Ninja 2.

The NDI add on is another Atomos product announcement that is still on the missing list unfortunately, which pisses me off because it was a contributory factor for me buying the Ninja V.
As was the ProResRAW function of it for the Z6, although I was at least cautious enough on that one not to have have held off buying the Z6 until the update actually landed.
The only one of the three AtomX modules that has made it out into the wild thus far is the SDI one, although I suspect the Timecode one might be appearing sooner rather than later now they've acquired the Timecode Systems company.
File transfer with the NDI module isn't currently listed as an option. 

I tried to get sharpness to match to make them visually more even, one is upscaled and one is native. Easy to spot if you look close but not too bad.
 

Depending on model E5-26xx or E5-24xx. Difference being socket and number of PCIe lanes. I have been looking a bit at E5-2650 v2 that should be decently compared against 2600 but with 8 cores and you can have two of them.
E5-2620 might be too slow with E3-2630 minimum entry depending on price. It's like E5-2650 but with 6 cores instead of 8. v2 have higher clock speed.
It is easy to find the subpar garbage CPU tho, like E5-2407 or E5-2609. Those two are common entry level CPU but ridiculously slow to the point where I have no idea why they where every made. Even the "modern" generation of the same CPU is worse than the old stuff.
