sup its gorkinator here just showing off a new project ive been working in and some example photos! heres my circuit bent dslr ive been tooling around with. the thing loves to take mirrored shots and really is finicky but man is it a beaut! i have a few more dslr’s ive bent but been keeping this project kinda under wraps as its been taking a lot of my time and is very precious to me!! but heres some cool stuff to hold yall over!
hey guys so i feel like as camera bending is getting more popular! i decided to make a subreddit just for it! im not done with it yet gonna be doing more setup but i thought it would be nice to declutter this one!
r/camerabending is just for that! feel free to post questions, bends, photos and whatever there :)
Camera bending is a subtype of circuitbending and thus i made us our own subreddit! the rules are pretty standard be nice, have fun, and most importantly bend some cameras!!
all photos must be from bent hardware or about bent hardware!
otherwise have fun and lets bend some cams!
went to the beach with my Chromancer X i built heres some photos from the trip! as ive mentioned before these are also for sale on the glitchwerks website! me and gw have been working together to bring these to yall for sale :) I think we are still sold out but get on the mailing list if your interested!
god i love the power of 12 megapixels of glitches! just a reminder all of these photos are straight off the camera and completely uneditied!
anyways hope yall enjoy and ive been loving all the camera bends ive been seeing on the subreddit!
also link for those interested (has a lot of info on the camera specs!) chromancer x
Sooo guys crazy announcement! im working with Glitchwerks now to bring yall GORKWERKS!!!
for now we are just selling the Chromancer X but soon things like the VX2000 will be for sale :) but anyway heres some photos from the camera!
checkout the glitchwerks website for more info! but you’ve seen me post about this camera before and now I actually have a production unit with a beautiful automotive paintjob!!
as for right now we already sold out on presales but we have a mailing list for when they restock if your interested!!
but anyway super excited to be working with glitchwerks directly, they helped me a lot on my bending journey and so now to be able to work together to bring yall a really clean camera build feels real nice!! anyway i hope you like the photos and design and please check out that page!!
love yall benders! loving all the work yall been posting :)
p.s. keep your eyes peeled working on a special DSLR bend for the future 😜
sup gang! bent this jvc GZ-HD7 which is a 3ccd HD (1080p) camcorder, making it an exceptionally unique device! at this time period most HD camcorders were single ccd so getting the pleasure to do a 3ccd bend again but on something so high quality was awesome! mostly because of how 3CCD bends work, you get full control of the red green and blue color channels independently, and as with all my 3ccd bends the blue channel mirrors its colors!
sadly recording on this thing is a bit of a nightmare as i have to use an external hdmi capture device as the internal harddrive cant actually handle recording this level of complex color data! so my rig kind of looks like a ghost busters powerpak lol.
i wont be posting any guides on this, as 1 these cameras are exceptionally rare (it took me 3 months to even source one after i bent it on paper months prior ) and also very VERY easy to break and i dont really want to see such a rare camera and unique camera damaged. but i do hope you find it cool that i was able to accomplish an HD camera bend let alone a 3CCD one (which i think i may be the first to do :P )
anyways sorry for the kinda vague lack of information filled post but i promise this thing is more of a hassle than its worth, i highly doubt ill ever build one again.
alright peace out gang
much love to all yall,
song is: you made me cry by joey coley
wanted another camera for my collection, and maybe something cheaper to sell in the future so i bent this digital elph camera cuz it seemed easy and fun! thought you guys would enjoy the results!!
digital elph cameras are funny, very weird to bend but not much different from the usual canon power-shot experience
anyways have a good day!

wanted to show off a little demo reel i made with some dreamcast footage! all footage shot on bent hardware and just edited together in adobe preimere to make it look flashy!

but ya anyways i posted about the dreamcast a bit ago and i thought yall deserved a demo to see what its got instore! currently have some more ideas on how to modify it even more so ill get back to yall if i make those improvements but for now im pretty happy with its design and functionality.
alright peace out

P.S i do not have a guide for this yet, still prototyping.
