360 Film Advancer
As of May 2024 this listing is for the Advancer v2.
Includes:
- VALOI Advancer v2
- VALOI Thumb screw for fastening holder
- VALOI Quick Start Guide
Does not include items shown in pictures: VALOI 360 6x45 mask, VALOI 360 Duster
This product requires a VALOI Holder: either the 35mm Holder or 120 Holder - which are not included in this listing. It also requires simple assembly and a small-medium Phillips screwdriver.
With the Advancer you get a host of new features all set in a sturdy all-steel construction:
- Speed: Scan a roll of 35mm film as quick as in two minutes
- Stability: Sturdy rubber feet and a heavy steel construction to keep everything in place
- Leveling: More than 10mm fine threaded adjustment on the feet
- Evenly lit scans: The film is lifted approximately 5cm off the light source to diffuse imperfections on the light
- Multi-format support: With rollers set up to be adjustable for almost any roll film formats ever made
- Access to accessories like the Duster
Additional accessories are necessary to produce a final image, including a digital camera, a close-focusing lens and a light source.
