The 3DPSlots works like a charm

8/27/2014

Today I test the 3DPSlots with 3 guides shooting with a 6D and the Canon 16-35 f2.8 with any vignetting at 16mm f2.8, in the next photos you can compare the shoots.
Without the Lee holder
Lee holder + 3DPSlots + Badpter
Lee holder at 45º + 3DPSlots + Badpter
There are only some brands like Lucroit and Fotodiox (WonderPana) that can achieve this results with expensive holders+adapters. The 3DPSlots are designed to work with the Lee holder (Serk, Thefilterdude) and allow you to use 3 filters without any vignetting using ultra-wide lenses, the perfect harmony between the Badpter and the 3DPSlots allow you to take photos easily and faster than other offers. 

The problem
I tried some technologies to design the 3DPSlots and as a result of this experience I know what technology is necessary to produce the 3DPSlots, I will explain why the slots has to be plastic injected:
  • 3D Printing: I build the first slots units 3D Printed technology (of course) and the problem is the color and the price. The material necessary to print the slots has to be flexible and the only available color is white, the other problem is the price, 3D printing is still very expensive for medium/large series of pieces. 
  • CNC Machinig: The material color necessary to build the slots is not available and the unit cost is so high. The actual working version that I'm using to take photos ;) is CNC machined.
  • Plastic injection: The cost of the unit is very cheap and there are any problem about colors, textures, etc, but is necessary to build a metal mold that is veeeery expensive.


Well, my deal is to achieve a cheap retail price for this 3DPSlots, I think that 6€ will be a good price, now I need your ideas about how can the 3DPSlots arrive to the market, I think that Crowdfounding it not a good solutions to this project due to it is very specific and with an small market, what do you think?.

If anyone has an idea, please post it.

Lee/Serk Screw Holder References / Referencias tornillos portafiltros Lee/ Serk

I create this table where you can found what screw length is necessary depending how many guides and what kind of guides (filter thickness) are you using in the Lee holder, also I put the screw designation to buy them in any hardware store for some cents ;)
For the people that are using the Lee compatible holder Serk I also put the reference in the bottom of the picture.

Photos with the Lee adapter

Today I visit one of the beautiful beaches near my town to take some photos with the compatible Lee adapter (C83L), I post the photos in the Lee adapter section to show how it works with three slots at 10mm in an APC-S camera.

I used the Lee Big Stopper filter to take a photo and it's very difficult not to have flares with the Lee holder, I think I should design a new aluminium holder... or maybe I have one designed...

_Testing the UW Lee adapter C83L / Testeando el adaptador para Lee C83L

2/1/2014

Lee have his own Ultra Wide adapters to use with ultra angular lenses that allow you take photos without any vignetting, but is it possible to improve this adapters?, are you using the Lee holder and want to use screwed filters?.

At this moment I'm testing the adapter C83L (that has been designed to work with the Lee holder) with a Lee compatible plastic holder.

The advantages of using this adapters in my opinion are:
  • Quickly mounting/dismounting.
  • Allow you screw filters like a ND64 if you want not to spend your money in a Big Stopper.
  • Allow you mount the Lee holder with your UV round filter screwed.
  • Allow you put the lens cap to protect your lens.
  • The filter installed in the first place of the holder stay nearest to the lens that using the UW Lee screwed adapter.

La marca Lee dispone de su propio adaptador Ultra Angular para lentes ultra-angulares el cual permite sacar fotos sin viñeteos (en casi todas las configuraciones), ¿pero es posible mejorar estos adaptadores?, ¿estas usando el portafiltros de Lee y echas de menos poder usar filtros roscados?.

En estos momentos estoy testeando el nuevo adaptador C83L (el cual fue diseñado para funcionar con el portafiltros de Lee) con un portafiltros compatible.


Las ventajas que tienen los adaptadores diseñados por 3DPideas son:
  • Rapidez y facilidad de montaje/desmontaje (has probado de montar los adaptadores roscados con guantes....)
  • Te permite montar filtros roscados como polarizadores e incluso ND64/1000 sino quieres gastarte un dineral en un Big Stopper.
  • Te permite tener montado en todo momento un filtro UV roscado en tu lente (muy recomendable para tener protegida tu lente).
  • Te permite poner la tapa de la lente (sencillo pero importante).
  • El filtro queda mas cerca de la lente que montando un adaptador UW de Lee roscado.
