Hi all. Sorry I’m not as active on here as I used to be, I’m up to my elbows in Chroma’s, getting the remaining backer cameras out!
However, in my non-workshop time (also known as, “the time most people sleep”!), I’ve been working with Jason Lane from Pictoriographica in New Hampshire to design and develop a set of brand new double dry plate holders, and we’re now pretty much ready to launch the Kickstarter campaign to fund the (eye wateringly expensive) injection moulding of 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 holders [emoji1303]
I filmed my section of the campaign video the other day and still much prefer being behind the camera than in in front of it [emoji6] These are some of the Pre-production designs I’ve built since last September, up to the finalised parts that will be moulded.
Our priorities for the holders has always been quality, affordability and usability, and I’m confident that my design fits those. We’re going with injection moulding to reduce the manufacturing cost, hence the crowdfunding, so all three holders will definitely be affordable. The holders can also be used for standard sheet film which makes them dual purpose, which is another benefit.
Once we’ve finalised the reward levels for the campaign I’ll share some more details here. Just wanted to say hello and give everyone the heads up.
Cheers
Steve
