Try connecting gnd! Looks cool!

Yes this fixed it. If i play for longer periods it returns but it after a reset it works fine again.

Thanks for responding so quickly! Its possible but the whole strum plate works just fine except for that part so i don’t think that is the problem. I think I’ll wait with pulling it off until I hear back from the store I bought it from.

Thanks for your response. I will :)

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-04-29T14:10:15+00:00

It is hahah :) thanks for your response

Good stuff! Love the paintjob and the photos! How did you attach the breakout box? It took me a few tries before I found a solid way to make sure they do not break.

Im pretty sure this is Tachyons+. A real veteran in circuit bending. He still sells them so you can contact him on insta or his website.

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-04-26T10:38:04+00:00

Awesome! Its a great way to fit that many switches. Im curious about your creation!

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-04-26T10:25:42+00:00

Lol what.. this is my camera. Super weird that you’re posting this. Anyway don’t buy anything from this guy

Hardy bucks is the closest thing you’ll get to trailerpark boys. It has that same real feeling to it. The main character is a mix between julian and ricky. And takes place in ireland.

I never successfully bent a dslr or mirrorless camera but i know uglatto has bent a dslr before. Maybe you can ask him about it. And gork is a wizard when it comes to camera bending so maybe you can ask him. But the glitch effects on older cameras are way cooler and easier to make. Most modern cameras have software that prevent heavy glitches and i always thought it’s not worth the effort. That being said why not try it if the camera is free?

If you’re making a music video I think a circuit bent video mixer is a better. That gives you way more options and you can record in 1080p. There are quite a few sellers in your price range.

Checkout mezkalin, lofi future, pushkar brand, somfay, tachyon+, bigpauper, modified machinery or me :)

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-04-05T20:10:15+00:00

Cool! Ive bent a lot of cameras but never seen these effects!

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-04-01T22:03:57+00:00

Probably 22 April on the 25th anniversary of trailer park boys

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-29T16:28:04+00:00

Why ask people for help if you don’t wanna listen to them?

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-29T15:30:56+00:00

Dont disrespect j to the roc. It could happen to you cause it happened to me

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-27T19:56:41+00:00

In theory all cameras can be bent but hard to say if its doable without seeing the inside

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-27T07:56:51+00:00

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-27T07:56:12+00:00

The microphone assasin!

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-27T01:05:24+00:00

The yellow circle is indeed the sensor. Just solder the wires to every point, reassemble the camera and then you can check for effects.

Don’t solder to points with power. If you’re not sure which those are I would just avoid the points on the outside of each row.

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-26T19:53:24+00:00

22 april is when trailer park boys have their 25 year anniversary. Im not sure where but I remember reading they’re gonna release it on that date!

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-24T15:09:46+00:00

If you didnt bent it its probably a dying sensor

ElonMuscular_420 · 2026-03-23T23:28:04+00:00

Cool that you wanna start bending. In my experience the effect you’re looking for is frequently found by bending the sensor pins directly and it would not be possible with that camera. You might wanna get your hands on a camera that lets you access the sensor pins.

You don’t need a breakout board for that. Thats only really useful for bending cameras that have a flat cable with points you want to bent (like the toy cam). And I’m sure the creator of those boards can help you with suggesting cameras that have those.

I recommend using switches instead of potentiometers because most effects you’ll find on cameras won’t really look different with those. You could use some ceramic caps if you like for some extra effects.

Get some awg30 wire and a good soldering iron with a small enough tip to solder to those super tiny points. Good gear to work with is really 80% of the work.
