Recording YouTube video content on a Raspberry Pi HQ camera, including testing different setups and lenses. This video builds upon my experiments with CinePi -- the Raspberry Pi Cinema Camera -- in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=HK57H3mzQ_c

The 4K HDMI to USB capture device I used is on Amazon UK here: amzn.to/3Gbntw1 -- with an effectively identical device on Amazon US here: amzn.to/4jyRR1D Please note that these are affiliate links from which I will earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

The Raspberry Pi robot video I refer to is here: youtube.com/watch?v=H1PIzxNdGGk -- with code and other support files here: explainingcomputers.com/pi_devastator_videos.html Note that the code was written for earlier Pi camera software, so you need to replace “picamera” with “picamera2” throughout if running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS.
