The Canon 5D Mark II is a professional digital SLR camera. Because of the nature of the IR enabling
modification, we do not recommend this camera to anyone who does not fully
understand the implications of the modification.
We stock and can modify this camera to be IR+Visible, High-Red,
IR-Only
or Visible Hot Rod.
 | IR+Visible+UV: Camera seee everything the sensor is
cable of seeing. Camera will see some UV, the entire visible range and
infrared from 715nm to 1200nm. |
 | High-Red |
665nm: Camera will see from 665nm to 1200nm.
Red channel will see visible red and infrared. Blue and green channels
will only see infrared.
590nm: Camera will see from 590nm to 1200nm.
Red channel will see visible red and infrared. Green channel will see
come visible green and infrared. Blue channel will only see infrared.
 | IR-Only |
715nm: All channels only see
infrared. The red channel is the most open to the IR and contains
somewhat different information than the blue and green channels allowing for
some creative color effects such as red-blue channel swapping to get deep
blue skies. A 715nm converted camera sees about the same amount of
light as a stock camera so apertures and shutter are similar to a stock
camera. 715nm is similar to a Hoya RM72 or Wratten 89B.
830nm: All channels only see infrared.
Camera loses about 2 stops of exposure. Once you equalize color
levels, picture will be almost completely black and white. The
infrared effect is more intense at 830nm - skies are darker, clouds whiter
and you see further through smoke and haze.
 | HR (High Resolution/ Hot Rod). An HR camera
has the Anti-Aliasing (Blur) filter removed and replaced with a thicker IR
Cut Filter to keep the same focal plane. A Visible
HR camera will maximize the resolution and
color depth of the camera at the expense of possible moire pattens. Please
see more about this conversion here. |
Our IR-Only cameras include an adjustment to the Auto Focus so
that the camera focuses in the infrared region.
The Canon 5D MK II has a full-frame sensor that allows the
photoreceptors to gather more photons than the smaller sensors in other
cameras. Because of this, the 5D MK II has exceptional infrared and ultraviolet
performance. If you need to gather has much light as possible, we
recommend the 5DMK II.
