It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm taking some time to plan out how to attach my Nikon D850 DSLR to it. It seems I have some options:
- 1.) DIY direct projection - 3d print an adapter of some kind, rig up some cardboard tubing, use a tripod and a bellows, whatever.
- advantages:
- a.) cheapest
b.) no additional lens
- a.) DX only view, but this is probably fine because I'm pretty sure I can do 4k video in DX with the D850.
b.) Depending on the materials used I could see some reflections in the image from the materials.
c.) Could be a pain in the butt to maintain due to movement, vibrations, etc.
d.) no lens - will this be more likely to accumulate dirt on my sensor?
- a.) cheapest
- advantages:
- a.) metal, solid mount
b.) assumedly at the perfect distance and will be super simple to use
c.) no additional lens
- a.) $824 (assuming it's even really for sale still - discontinued item)
b.) no lens - will this be more likely to accumulate dirt on my sensor?
- a.) metal, solid mount
Nikon V-T Photo Adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-Stereo-P ... 2964448118 and
lmscope DSLRNFTC_Pro https://www.lmscope.com/en/lmscope_out2 ... mit=Search- advantages:
- a.) FX sensor coverage using full resolution of camera for photos
b.) lensed, so possibly less dust on sensor
- a.) adds another lens to complex optical system - additional lens of completely unknown quality
b.) most expensive. $120 for V-T Photo Adapter + $1258.6 for DSLRNFTC_Pro = $1378.6 at least
- a.) FX sensor coverage using full resolution of camera for photos
- 1.) Are there options I am missing/unaware of?
2.) Which solution will deliver the best quality photography/video?
3.) Which solution will be the easiest to use and require the least fiddling?
4.) What would you recommend I do?
