An indepth review on the usability of the GoPro BackBone mod, and whether the tiny Super 8sized digital sensor of the GoPro Hero 7 Black edition can compete with shooting on an actual Super 8 camera!

I honestly think that the GoPro, when combined with Dehancer, gets the look so close that it could pass as real Super 8. I'd probably desaturate the GoPro footage a bit more and use an ND to be able to set a manual 180 degree shutter speed.

Apparently the later GoPro models, using the GoPro media mod, can output image over HDMI without the screen turning off, so in theory the issue I encountered with monitoring wouldn't be a problem with the Hero 11 or 12!
