Bernhard Kipperer Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Who can guess what prototype I am working on these days? Hint: It is a nifty add-on to another product of mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/efq4m28tswlpc23/Proto.mp4?raw=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Greene Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 You are building a movie film scanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Kipperer Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Nope, has nothing to do with scanning. It's an add-on to the other thing being shown in the video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted April 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 1, 2019 Time lapse controller, presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Kipperer Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Correct, but that is only ONE part of what it will do. It's a new adapter for Cine Assist, which of course can do much more that just time lapses, but so far could only control cameras with electrical remote sockets, see http://cineassist.filmcurl.com Now I can plug in Cine Assist and the adapter "translates" signals to a standard cable release. This way I can fully support Super 8 cameras that only have cable releases, I recently for example succeeded with an Eumig Mini 5 and a Voigtländer Zeiss Ikon Moviflex MS8. But I could also already successfully use it for long time exposures on 35mm and 110 still cameras and for single frame releases on my Krasnogorsk 16mm movie camera.

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted April 1, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted April 1, 2019 Ooh, engineering... How did you implement the cable release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Kipperer Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 With some overly complex mechanics that scare me, haha, won't say more yet, it's still in development ? It works as a prototype now but is not very portable (as compared to Cine Assist that is small, light-weight and only uses a single battery). I hope to be able to improve its power consumption and shrink it soon, new components to build the next revision are already on their way to me, once I'm fully done I will post pictures and videos and all details of course, so stay tuned!
