The bendy straw LED light defused is a brilliant application of 2 bits of scrap material, the straws, and the non-working flash light. A brilliant solution! In fact, the whole project is in the genius category, IMHO!

Great idea and great video. Other alternatives are much more expensive. But the bare foot beside the saw was a bit shocking.

Thank you for the video tutorial very well presented you explained everything so clearly. I really enjoyed watching , well done and thank you have a good weekend bye...😃

😮 Fantastic idea, dude! Really well done!!!

You are so creative and innovative and practical! Thank you for this. I will adapt your ideas for use with my mirror less camera.

I love the bendy straw lights sir, it's more of the incandescent bulbs like you said. Thanks for sharing

Welcome! Thanks too!

I am floored by this!! definitely going to try this

Amazing! When he starts to cut the light diffuser, he whips out the clamp that looks like a foot!

I build sth. similar, using the cheapest flat LED ceiling light I could find in the hardware store and crafting a "stand" for my DSLR from a yoghurt cup (one of the larger ones. But: the "lightstraw" idea is gold! I would have never thought of this!! Thanks man. You earned a sub with these straws. I save that idea for the next time I need a small diffuse light source. You could even add adjustable blue and yellow LEDs to (sort of) adjust light temperature.

Great little project! Here's a tip that can significantly increase the amount of light behind the slide: Simply place a piece of tinfoil behind the tubes to reflect all the light back, that went out of the tubes in the wrong direction and would otherwise just have been absorbed into the black bottom. Make sure it also covers the sides so that light can't escape that way either. You'll be amazed how much light you can actually get out of the leds that way. Anyways thanks for sharing. Great idea!

Brilliant! My father was a proponent of the hot glue gun and this McIver light box reminded me of him. I have a light source so will try to make the enclosure. Thank you!

Astig ka talaga! ❤️

Great idea for recycling old junk. Keep up the good work.👍🏻

If you don’t have a diffuser, buy one!! That’s really helpful thanks!

This is awesome. But I can’t do all that. You should consider building and selling these. I’d buy one

Nice job! I might have glued (or use double stick tape) a piece of reflective paper (any foil/Mylar lined jar liner might do) on the inside facing the LED light tubes side of the base foam-board to take advantage of as much of the light as possible.

Eu já imaginava como fazer, e você com o seu vídeo so reforçou a minha idéia. Obrigado! Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil

A great video and well explained, thank you.

This definitely needs a kickstarter campaign.

That was a great video… I will probably make one soon. I have boxes of negatives that need printing! Thanks… all the best man.

Thanks so much. It's a simple trick we can do

Very informative and detailed tutorial. Big thumb to you! 👍👍

This is fantastic! I'd recommend not putting your thumb in the middle of the negative, the oils in your skin can leave a mark.

Brilliant invention

This is a good effort. I especially like your jigged foamcore construction techniques. I've built a few phone scanners. You can get a good result, especially with a good even lighting source and the Kodak app, but even the best phones (as of September 2019) struggle to get resolution at macro distances compared to a scanner or a proper camera. You will get results good enough for social media, but you won't make archival quality images or decent big prints.

@@parishna4882 Keep the goal in mind - if all you want to do is load up some old negs onto your cell phone to share, why make it any more complex? If you want more resolution/color control, then a proper scanner is the way to go. But there's no need to make it any more complex than it has to be.

so satisfying to watch! cute nerdy guy, too! :-) :-) :-)

Very innovative solution!

Straight from the "why the heck didn't I think of this" file...I've got a stack of 6x4.5 negs (and some positive films as well) sitting around that I'd really like to digitize but really can't justify the expense. I can so justify the expense of some foam board and translucent Plexi though!!

I'm probably Gona try build something similar to use with my actual mirrorless camera and then convert it in lightroom. This is pretty cool project

Very nice unit!

Clever clever clever!!!!!!!

The box is a great idea. However, cheap LEDs have very low CRI (colour rendering Index). I think using an old phone with the screen on full brightness would be simpler and gives better white light.

You might want to think on designing the whole thing around the camera position, that way you could bring your phone and expect it not to wobble. Also, you can review the camera's focus distance. That's the minimum distance that the camera needs to be to take a focused shot, and that should save you the focus measurement. Overall great video and I might go ahead and do it on my end. Thanks for sharing!

I'll have to adapt this idea to work with my personal View-Master reels, thanks!
