SJ4000 with 6mm Lens Converted to Full Spectrum Camera & Audio Technica ATR2500 Mic so we are revisiting this camera once again having now put a 6mm lens in it. The lens was about $8 and due to the Crop value of the small sensor this 6mm lens gives a FOV of 31.2mm or so. The lens was ordered sans IR block so the camera remains Full Spectrum capable. To avoid crummy sound I used my trusty Audio-Technia ATR2500 USB Mic into my Apple Mac and used GarageBand to record the audio which I synched up and replaced the SJ4000 audio with in Final Cut Pro X. Next time I use this camera I'm likely to connect it to my Feiyu G3 3 axis Gimbal and walk around at night to see how steady this combination will be while carrying an Infrared light.
Converting to Full Spectrum seems to be better than camera's with Nightvision which boost the gain and give a Green tint to everything as well as changing the shutter speed/angle. whereas shooting with a Full Spectrum Camera it's like shooting in daylight tho the Infrared light is mostly outside the spectrum of human vision.

Full Spectrum SJ4000 Action Cam plus SolarForce L2 with IR insert YAY Nightvision Take 2
Full Spectrum SJ4000 Action Cam plus SolarForce L2 with IR insert YAY Nightvision Take 2 , I took a Clone of the SJCam SJ4000 and converted it to Full Spectrum. This allows me to shoot in pitch darkness while using an Infrared light source which is unseen by human eyes but the converted camera picks up quite readily. This was a relatively simple conversion and took me under 10 minutes to do. Local folks talking about forming a Ghost Hunting/Paranormal Group and it piqued my interest so tried to do this as inexpensively as possible and think I succeeded quite well.
The Camera still needs some tweaking in the Focus department.
Suprised that GoPro hasn't jumped on this bandwagon. Maybe make one called the GoPro NightShot for the folks who don't ant to gut their camera to do this. Perhaps include a Cage and a Screw on IR Block filter for daylight use. I was SHOCKED at how bright the SolarForce L2 with the Infrared Bulb assembly was, my initial attempts were blowing out facial fewatures. Once I moved the light back 7-8 feet from the subject it looks alot better and covers a larger area to boot. Any of you in the local area wishing your Action Cam to be converted, I'd likel do it for $50 or so unlike the Conversions for DSLR's that cost nearly $300
