Key features of BlackBox Holo
1. High-quality light source
BlackBox HOLO comes with a light panel CineStill CS-LITE included. It is a high-quality light source designed specifically for film scanning. It features a Color Rendering Index CRI=95+ and a brightness of EV 15+.
2. Perfect masking and alignment by design
BlackBox HOLO is built from high-density PLA and ABS components for maximum stability. Its functional design is created with one purpose - to always hold your camera perfectly parallel to the film plane while completely masking it from ambient light. In contrast to other setups, the system doesn’t need leveling, masking, or alignment. Ever.
3. Film transport system
BlackBox HOLO uses manual film advance. It allows the scanning of uncut rolls of film as well as film strips. For perfect film tension, flattening the film, and protect it from scratches, every HOLO film guide has a fabric coating inside the film channel. The fabric coating also effectively cleans the film from dust as you slide it through.
4. Adjustable height
BlackBox HOLO comes with 5 spacers for height extension: 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 100mm, and 150mm. The spacers connect using a bayonet lock mechanism (insert and twist). They can be combined in any combination to match the minimum focal distance of your macro lens. BlackBox HOLO is compatible with lenses up to 135mm focal length when scanning 6x9 format using a full-frame camera. Additional extension sections are available by request.
5. Compatible lenses
Your lens is mounted and locked on top of the BlackBox HOLO using the filter thread. Any lens with a filter thread diameter of 77mm, 72mm, 67mm, 62mm, 58mm, 55mm, 52mm, 49mm, or 37mm is compatible. Lens lock ensures the stability of the system even with heavy cameras.
