I've been looking forward to finding a suitable teleconverter for my camera packages, and at the same time, debating on the usability of my GoPro Hero 4 for the purposes of shooting stock footage. POV and action shots seem a little too personal for general stock purposes. Being a hobby tech-head as well, I've always enjoyed pushing my electronics to their limit and seeing what interesting things I can accomplish with them. I heard about the Back-Bone Ribcage Mod for GoPros and I became very interested in working with it. I already have a 180mm macro lens and the crop factor on the c-mount adapter/image sensor is roughly 5.7x meaning my 180mm lens became a 1026mm f/2.8 macro beast!

Since there was a full moon the night of the modding, I had to see what I could get. There was a slight haze in the sky, which I found pretty neat when watching the footage later. Looking on some of the big stock sites what I noticed was many of the "moon" shots looked almost faked with a still moon image moving across a black sky. Not to toot my own horn, the atmosphere on the clip I shot give a sense of realism to the shot. So this full moon is a full resolution HD real time super-telephoto shot for you to use in your project. Fun fact, the movement is real time, it just looks like it is faster or time lapse-esque because of how small the frame of reference is compared to the sky. It took me forever to realize it wasn't my tripod drifting on me.
