Yup! I don't think they ever will! But if they can make a gaming cooling fan case for the new Xperia 1's, shouldn't be too difficult to make a lens holder case. Maybe they see the gaming sector as more profitable and larger than their mobile photography/videography one...
After watching ur video i made my own with a 67mm holder, which didnt cover all the sensor and camera, still letting the glue to dry, hopefully it will work perfectly
I use UHU liquid contact which is the only one I have on my hand, not sure strong enough or not but it can stick my shoes and car parts. All day summer here around 27-30, but mostly taking photo only.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JbUXqNGjWSSMuMcA4MZ1D7lssw8qobWi I uploaded my case to Google drive, after trying only the 16mm lens will get blocked a little bit at the corner, but others are perfect
I actually made this hoping Sony or a company like Moment would see there's interest out there for a custom filter case for the PRO-I and Xperia line and make their own. The issue I have is a durable case when the sides are removed to allow cooling of the PRO-I. I could make a metal one but I lack the resources to form one. So I thought it's best I just share how I made mine and others with Xperia smartphones could try to make their own.
Yes a 3D printer would create a cleaner and probably more durable setup. But this one is for someone who wants to test various setups first before committing to a final one. I wish Sony would have come out with something similar to Xiaomi s Photography Kit, especially if they promoted the Xperia PRO-I as a pro-grade camera!
I wonder how many parts it needs until Sony provides such a case

That's really great to hear! Which glue did you go with? Also what's the temp of the environment you typically do photos and vids in?

i really want to see your perfecting the design for the case and maybe try selling it.

It's a good idea but a 3D printer is better
