Product Details
“Valoi” is a Finnish word meaning light and creation — a nod to the creativity of analog photography. The Scandinavian roots of VALOI are visible in the minimalist and functional design. VALOI 360 is a film holder system that is an affordable way to digitize your rolls of 35mm and 120 medium format film using a digital camera, without compromising on features. This system will help you scan film quicker and, with the right setup, with higher quality than traditional flatbed scanners.
Constructed of strong aluminum alloy, the VALOI 360 Essential Copy Stand provides a solid, stable, and dedicated base for your digital camera scanning needs. Unlike a tripod, a copy stand is designed to point your camera down at a perfectly perpendicular angle for copy/reproduction work. The wide base area provides plenty of space for your light source, VALOI 360 film holders, and accessories.
The head of the stand is custom made and especially designed for the task of scanning. The wide shape and rubber surface material grips firmly to the entire base of the camera to keep it firmly secured. A 40mm diameter tripod screw is easy to tighten and loosen by hand.
Rather than adjusting multiple tripod legs, the camera can be easily raised or lowered on the rail to different heights for your different film formats using the locking lever. Users can choose between two different rail lengths by adding the included rail extension: Standard length: 490mm, Extended length: 690mm. The extension is not needed if you only scan 35mm with normal focal length lenses. Please note that the extended setup is not suitable for use with heavy camera and lens combinations, such as a professional DSLR with a 100mm macro lens.
