Re-inspired by a photo-illustrated discussion on Hiptop.com on someone's success with rewiring a Hiptop camera, I resumed hacking on extras of both types of Hiptop camera attachments. It's been a few years since I've tinkered with electronics, but I found my soldering skills were still intact.

So far I have the low-rez camera on a foot-long extension, and it's ready to be extended many more feet. Along with the obligatory recursive image shot, I re-did the shot of the camera looking out from the back of my mouth towards my reflection in a mirror. It's kinda neat that the reflection of my face ended up visible in the gap in my front teeth.

I also have attempted to extend the high-rez camera, but the signal is much more sensitive, and I haven't met with much success yet.

Here's a link to a few photos on Skholla of my earlier experiment.

More to come...
