What timing 🤣 Great find on the US supplier lens. I'd looked several times and never found one with all the right specs it seems. That's definitely more palatable than the shipping from the UK or the 50% tax from China. The IR question came about because the Chinese seller offered both...

I'm wishing I purchased this several months ago before all the extra taxes hit with more to come. Does this lens have an IR filter on it do you know?

Are you referring to the macro lens or did you get another lens you are using?

Ah yes that is the other one I alluded to in my post. Price is the same (or higher) than the UK one but shipping I think is free, as long as you're OK with six week delivery and whatever tarrifs are foisted upon us at that time.

I've reached out to Scorpion.Vision about shipping, when trying to check out the selected lens and spacer it only offers me the option of expedited shipping at the cost of the lens! No matter where you buy from, these lenses all seem to be in the range of $80-90USD. It looks like the part is...

Curious if anyone has a second source (US distributor maybe) for the lens? It seems that store is the only one that has specifically the 2/3 frame and narrow FoV lens, I've seen plenty of places retailing similar lenses but with a 1/3 frame and slightly wider FoV. That lens seems unique to...

What is the current suggested settings on the latest sets of code? E.g. should we be zooming all the way out still, doing any other setting changes before running the scan and postprocessing?

Thanks! I'm a little surprised equipment still exists honestly.

Bit of an off topic question, but some of my old reels don't have much of a leader to the film. Does anyone still sell splicing kit materials (tape/glue) and blank leader to pad out a roll of film? Suggested sources in USA? (I haven't searched or checked say B&H, Adorama, etc. yet.)

Forgive the obvious question, but what rating is your SD card you're using? Could that be slowing down the copy process? E.g. my digital camera refuses to record video if the SD card is not an x10 rating or something.

So I did a couple runs on my two units to see the various C version firmwares. The 0dan0 C firmware definitely has better clarity than the Mac84 version. For both cases I tried the full zoom out/left, Exposure -0.5, Sharpness -1.5, and Tint 0. My 0dan0 unit I had "adjusted" the focus of the...

This is probably old news, but here's the datasheet for the Novatek chipset: https://dashcamtalk.com/cams/Novatek NT96655 Data Sheet.pdf And there's some dashcam guys that worked with similar chipsets a decade ago. Maybe some of what they found would work with our machines...

I too am one who bought a Reels in November in hoping for a cost-effective workable solution (having previously digitized still film on a Wolverine and being very disappointed). It didn't work with the A/B version firmwares nor reverted with the Kodak website version. [A new unit is in the...
