    Hi Will! Great to see our products out in the wild :) Thank you for checking it out! Below are some tips: About the little rubber feet, they are for using the Holders without the Advancer (it's mentioned in the little manual that comes in the box). Essentially meant as a way to enter the system with a smaller investment. About having to rotate both the knobs at the same time, this is from tightning the screws on the knobs too much. If you loosen them a little bit until you can rotate one knob and have both rotate at the same time, that should be the right pressure. With some units, this also means that the knobs unscrew slowly as you use them - you can just tighten them again, or you can put some lock-tite on the threads. If you continue having problems though, we are rolling out a new knob attachment design to avoid this problem all-together, and we sent out new ones for free if you have problems. Just let us know by email! Best, Arild VALOI Co-Founder

    Yeah the feet thing makes since for the holders! I mentioned you could use them alone and didnt put 2x2 together haha. Makes total since. And I fiddled with the knobs a bit more, the alignment on the o-rings needs to be perfect for it to work perfectly and when its in its in! I will talk about that in my next video. I am gonna do a walk through of the whole setup and getting good results from it!. Awesome Product guys!

    I just got mine. Haven't had a chance to use it but just set it up. Excited to put it to use. I hope they make something for 4x5 film. Valoi is in a sweet spot of good and affordable.

    I stumbled into your channel I'm a negative collector. Have my dads, mom's, sister's and my negatives. I'm excited I have 4x5, 120, 620, 127, 126, 35mm ton, and 110. I'm from a black n white darkroom. Dad taught me the base bones. I fine tuned my skills. Led me to bring photography editor in high school. After high school I sold cameras. My 22 year old camera needs replacing (DIGITAL). So waiting to see what canon will do this year.

    I’d say no, cuz you could maybe scan one image to hold it flat but going to the next image would be pretty annoying. you could scratch your film, mess up your alignment, do anything really
