    It should be relatively trivial to take a control board that's designed for a 3D printer and reprogram it to drive those 2 steppers (or even all 3) in sync. There also would be inputs available for loop-size sensors, either microswitches with rollers or optical ones. However, this would require someone for whom programming those things is within their skill range... A side effect of this approach would be greater stability and faster speed. The latter because the controller could drive the motors at a variable speed instead of one that's dictated by how long the frame needs to be exposed. It could speed up for transport and pause for exposure. And that pausing could extend to all motors, providing greater stability as the picture is taken while all movement has ceased. It might be worth it to reach out to the 3D printer community; it's full of people who love these kinds of projects. That's how 3D printing at home started, after all...

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    For rigidity, there's one very simple trick: Put the plate under tension in the opposite direction it wants to flex from the weight you put onto it. That way, the unwanted flex has to work against the rod or wire you use to tension---but as those already are under tension, they won't move any more.

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to only use the mechanism for precise transport but capture the film at another point in its path. With a tensioner in the intake path and running it over two simple side rails just before it enters the movements, it should be quite stable there, too. This wouldn't work at full speed, but at 1 fps...

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It's interesting how you, with a movie background, immediately throw the images into video editing software. I, with more of a picture background, would have run them through batch processing in an image editor first, then sorted the images into folders by cut manually, and only then imported that into a video editor.

    Was the 16BL used much for on-location news gathering before the electronic portable cameras (ENG) came out in the mid to late 70s?

    • @FreshGroundPictures
      @FreshGroundPictures 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There was an optional sound-on-film magnetic sound recording module for pre-striped film. It seems like the 16BL was used more for documentary work, as it was very rugged and reliable, but heavy. A lot of local news stations used the Cinema Products CP cameras, again with magnetic sound on film. I started working in broadcasting slightly after this era - I used an RCA TK76 tube camera and a 3/4" U-matic portable deck.

Other cameras I have include a Sony Betacam BVV-1A/BVP-3A camera (which works fine) and an Ikegami HL-79E which I'm fixing up right now.

    Can I share a similar story? In 2000 a brand new helicopter rescue service started in country NSW Australia. My husband was the Pilot. The opening/show off the goods day came around but no helicopter. They were caught in a snow blizzard & landed in a stranger’s paddock. Then the country hospitality of which I’m so proud was extended. Heaps of food & heat & the boys ended up being there for a couple of hours. I’d almost forgotten that but I’m positive the kind people who looked after the crew that day will never forget. & wasn’t that cool?
