Custom Series: 8mm Holder (Super8)

• VALOI Custom Series 8mm holder (Super8)
  
• 4x anti-slip sticky rubber feet (for use without the Advancer)
  

On request, we have made an 8mm holder that will accommodate normal 8mm film and Super8 film. The opening is about 7x5mm to account for both Super8 and normal 8mm.

The Valoi 8mm Holder is:

• Designed for maximal flatness with the special double S-curved track
• Prevents reflections: Matte black plastic and strategic anti-reflection angles
• Quick-advance system: Push or pull film through, no fiddling with traditional clam-shell designs
• Minimises vignetting on the edges with a beveled design under the film
• Comes with stick-on rubber feet for stability
• Can be used with or with out the Valoi Advancer
• Optimised for full rolls - it will work with cut strips but flatness may vary

The Holder can be used to hold film on its own or in conjunction with the VALOI Advancer.

Note that appearance of the final product will change from the picture in this listing.

VALOI Custom Series Holders

Our custom series holders are made on request from the community in small volume and small batches. We decided to make these to support niche formats that are otherwise difficult to scan.

While our normal holders are injection moulded - a high volume process for creating quality plastic parts - our Custom Series holders are too low volume for this process. Therefore, we turned to community member and 3D printing master Simon Forster in the UK to help us get the best holders possible. These are not your average home 3D printed parts, but highly optimised prints from finely tuned high-end printers.

To retain the good quality and film flatness of our normal holders, the Custom Series holders are made to such tolerance that most home-printers would struggle to get a useable product. This applies particularly to the film track, which we have kept as tight as possible just like our normal holders.

We recommend using thin cotton gloves while scanning to prevent damage to the film.
