Pinholio!

EKDobbs · Dec 29, 2012

Using a box designer program, I created a pinhole camera with a removable film back holder.

Behold! Pinholio V.1.1!

Currently still in the prototype arena, but I'm constantly modifying ideas to make it dead simple to use. Next will be a film magazine a-la large format cameras, as well as a primitive shutter and tripod socket. Currently uses one frame of 35mm or a 1.5 inch square of print paper.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Maybe you should photograph the whole of the next 'big' football game....

As a side note: The embossing-like effect of the laser treatment on the plywood is intriguing.

Love the 35mm emblem on the top, too. I'd love a 4x5 one.

Pretty cool, what are the dimensions of this little gem?

About 3x3x3 inches. Pinhole distance is different because the removable back has a little frame type thing to hold the paper/film in place. I could post the pdf of the design if I hadn't left my flashdrive at Techshop.

There's only one so far, it's in the same Flickr stream as above.

Also, I'm currently working on a 4 inch one that will have a tripod socket, interchangeable pinholes, and a magnetically locking back.

After that is a 5x7
