Sony a7sII video inversion

[HypoXic5665]

Hello everyone!

 

I have a Sony a7sII and I need to be able to record video upside down. As in the camera will be in a normal orientation (It needs to be mounted right side up) but the video that I have to produce needs to be inverted in the Y axis (ground would be at the top of the screen). I know the obvious answer is to do it in post processing, however this is not an option for me because the video that I take is not allowed to be modified in anyway after shooting. 

 

Are there any solutions to make this happen?

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes but the camera will not be absolutely

right side up. It will be pointed at the ground.

Not upside down, so hopefully workable for

you. Acoarst you also need a mirror, and  

preferably front surfaced.

 

This will rotate around the X-axis and leave

the Y-axis unchanged, so there will be no

left-for-right reversal. IOW, should any text

[signage] appear in the frame it will be seen

as reverse reading. If THAT is a problem

then you need a dual prism image erecting

combo, which will have a very narrow FoV,

but will not require pointing the camera at

the ground [camera will be right-side-up]. 

  

BTW, you seem to be required [?] to alter

only one axis. Mounting the camera upside-  

down would alter both ... top for bottom and

left-for-right, like the image erecting prisms. 

  

Innie hoo, rotsa ruck widdat !

Bizarre requirements for not allowing rotating in post. Image can be rotated itself without any run through a NLE so file bytes remain the same but if they have a problem doing that, shoot normal and have viewer flip their TV display on its head. Either that or have them watch it on iPad, lock rotation, rotate device.

I think he's pulling everyone's leg... ignore this.

Get a camera cage and mount the camera upside down then.
