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!
I have video synth that is audio reactive via cv inputs. I do not create my own music, so I have no cv from a synth to feed to it, rather I would want to use line level outs from a my amp, and reamaing in an analog enviornment.
I would plan on using a little cheap 10band eq to isolate bass and rythem or the melody to control the actual motion of the graphics I understand i could use another preamp to bring the levels up to what the the cv would recognize, However it would still be very jittery.
So how do I cheaply smooth it out?
Do i need to translate from ac to dc?
Has anyone done this, any suggestions?
Just FYI, my dream is someone is going to say, oh I built one of those, send me 50 bucks and money for parts, got your back.
I'm trying to produce a psychedelic effect in this build, but I can't get the sensor strip out of the motherboard without breaking it.
If you know of any other ways to go about that with this little camera, please tell me! :)
Threw together a few glitch photos off my bent Powershot A530 using Picsart app
Rescued from the belly of a Goodwill. Honestly, was not a fan of this one. Had a hard time finding any good bend points on this.
Notable bends are some kind of distortion tone, a “glitch button”, and some kind of input retrigger toggle. By default, this thing doesn’t loop inputs, so it was nice to find that. Now that I think about it, I should’ve put a pot on that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wish I could’ve done a pitch mod, but I have no idea how to do clock mods yet. In any case, I have a bassy drone synth now.
Due to the chip I used when making my visual glitch box it can also use it as an oscillator (under the right circumstances) shoot me any questions I’m happy to answer
made my first ever circuit bent camera!! so happy with it!
I want to be able record my own beats onto the cassette without using the 3 mic holes (there is no direct mic input.)
I have a solder set though haven’t hacked a Walkman before. I figure if there is a mic and a speaker there must be a way to add an input jack.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.
Hey there! I'm super beginner with circuit bending. I am currently starting my first project with an old digital camera I had since highschool. Its a Kodak easyshare z740.
I'm hoping someone could help me find the sensor pins that I can mess around with and I was also hoping to get some tips on how to start. I want to be able to toggle from normal camera to circuit bent camera.
So far, I have removed the screen and view finder. I've also disconnected the half of the PCB that is connected to the visual components in search of the sensor pins. I believe I found them but I am not sure if I am correct.
Thank you in advance!
Hey,
I need micro-soldering tips :
I'm currently working on bending my kodak zd710, and after doing many effects with the adc pins, I wanted to do a last short on the sensor pins. Those are very small and I tried many time to get my 0.1mm enameled wire fixed on the pins. I managed to get 1 but it came off as I was trying the 2nd one next to it (you can see the evolution on the photos..)
Does anyone have tips wich can help me solder these?
PS : This sensor ribbon is the only ribbon I can't take off it's support for some reason, I'm not sure which side to pull on lol..
So I’m curious to know if whenever somebody has a toy out and there in the process of poking around on the circuit board, has anyone ever found a test mode, and if so, what toy was it and did you add the points that triggered the test mode to The Toy? this is mainly just a question, people have found demo modes, as well as unused sounds, but I’m curious to know if anybody has ever found a test mode.

I recently got into circuit bending and started out learning and experimenting with this toy cam, and today I finally succesfully got my first bend! I'm soooo fucking happy, haven't got out home to shoot much yet (too excited to share) but here's some quick snaps from it, love the results so far tho i still have a lot to improve. Looking forward to get my hands on more cams to experiment with!
Shoutout and big thanks to u/theglorioustopsail for being so patient in helping and explaining a lot to a beginner like me in this journey. So grateful for this community.
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 :)
