Built in ND device for your camera: ND Slide

[Douglas Underdahl]

This looks extremely cool Doug.

How big a batch would you need to get going?

I would say 20 units.

Very interested in Canon EOS dummy mount (ie non electronic). How much?

Also what glass is going in the slide? Ideally love it to be Firecrest NDs.

If you have a look at the new video, Douglas makes an excellent argument for a Kodak ND

Need to know if you are interested in the ND Slide + Long Valley Nikon mount combo.

Thanks
Doug

Kodak filters look great. Definitely need an EF option though too...

Sorry, just saw that now at back of video. Looks good!

I have one demo unit for sale. Not sure when I will have more. I have another unit but it's mine and I'll never sell it!!

It is in nice but used condition and shows use, as it is a prototype. Of course the filters are clean and clear.

You can see it in this video:

First $750 takes it. PM me or better yet, contact me at longvalleyequip@gmail.com

Thanks
Doug

Bump.

 

[Fergus Cahill]

What ever happened to this? Doug did you discontinue these?

 

[Douglas Underdahl]

Never made them in quantity. Was waiting for a group buy that never happened. I have one and use it and it works very well.

Oh man, only just saw this thread.

This in an EF mount (with aperture control) would be BALLER.

I really don't get all the "back focus" comments. This is a system to **quickly** add and remove ND. Perfect for doc work, run & gun, etc. If you're tape-focusing then you have the time to switch out NDs in the mattebox.

 

[Fergus Cahill]

Thanks Doug totally understand. If you ever do end up making a batch give me a PM

Or put an LCD inside and make it electronic like Sony did in FS5.

 

[Fergus Cahill]

Hey Doug, did you ever consider modifying these. http://woodencamera.com/RED/RED-Weapon-Raven-Accessory-Kits/simple-canon-mount-epic-scarlet.html or maybe even working with Wooden Camera on this?

There is quite a few problems that comes with such solution. To me it´s strange that now when the Fan is on the back / top of the camera there is no real reason why not to have a mount with ND stages. People that shoot alexa mini tend to use that feature quite bit.
