Milan Madge Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi guys, I've just joined the forums as I'm hoping to start pursuing cinematography, I've been a keen stills photographer for some time but found an Eyemo the other day that I couldn't help but buy! It was sold to me as 'not running', so I spent most of today completely stripping it down and rebuilding it. It runs perfectly now except I'm missing a couple of pieces! 1) The top spindle that holds the spool 2) The shutter I was thinking I could probably make the spindle as a worst case scenario, but I'm stuck on the shutter! Does anyone know where I can find these parts? I can't imagine they're easy to come by but I'm hoping theres a website I've not found yet! Thanks!

Milan It's a bit of a strange idea but I've heard of people cutting down old cd's to make a mirror shutter! Presumably on an Eyemo it wouldn't even need to be a mirror shutter. Not tried it myself tho! Freya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Mattila Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think Cinemagear have some Eyemo parts. - Juha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Madge Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Haha, the CD idea may actually work! I'll give it a go if I can't find a replacement part, thanks! Thanks Juha, they've got a shutter but looks like a very small angle, I'll have to wait to find the correct one. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Koling Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Milan, I just bought the narrow shutter from Cinemagear. You can have the 165 degree shutter installed in my eyemo once I get the new one from Cinemagear! Regards Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
