Pocket Camera laugh

While shooting a promotional piece for a private school:

A kid looks at my camera. It is on rails with the usual cast of characters and cables dangling about.
"Did you make that camera?", he asked.

I was mildly offended. "No!"

"Oh, it looks homemade"

On my way home that slight turned into a bit of wishful thinking. Make the camera - if only I could.

My guess is that a DSMC or Alexa Mini would look even more homemade to that kid - both essentially look like boxes with a lens in the front and a bunch of cables connecting them to other boxes attached to them

On my way home that slight turned into a bit of wishful thinking. Make the camera - if only I could.

Well... you actually can now https://www.apertus.org/axiom-beta-status

Hi Kurtkolaja

Do you have a photo of your "homemade" camera?

Just a rude kid. I am sure your camera is fine.

There are home made digital cameras. But if you want, there are camera kits based on various embedded board standards, like Arduino.

Not necessarily rude, just curious! Which is a good thing
