Re: Completion of my all diy Macro rig. Finally !

Lovely! Perhaps you've already done it, but if not, you might think about coordinated movements of the camera and focus ring so as to keep the entrance pupil in a fixed location while focus-stacking a subject with a macro lens. That would totally eliminate those annoying shifts of viewpoints that a...

Re: DIY Geophone for extreme Macro photography stacking

Just curious. Programming-wise, how would you check to see if the picture "just taken" is blurred due to vibration, and if so, take another image? That would be a nice one to do. I`m not doing it like that, I`m just pausing the stacking automation thus preventing camera to take any shots if there i...

Re: DIY Geophone for extreme Macro photography stacking

Hahaha . . . while having lunch, I got an idea. I think your can use your device as a load and control amount of current to it. This way, it is highly likely to have a wobble-free vertical stage, making some good step sizes. Currently, I am experimenting with speaker, but it is not linear. One thin...

Re: DIY Geophone for extreme Macro photography stacking

FWIW, even though OP's device is in different form and construct, the underlying principle is the same (as speaker), that is, electro-magneticsm. Energy gets converted from one form to another and vise versa . In fact, what made me to say "I use speaker for that" is when I watched OP's video at 1:5...

I`ve built this device and incorporated it to my automated macro rig. For those extreme macro enthusiasts, if you live close by to traffic or have noisy neighbours you will find this project handy :D When using high magnification objective lenses, the slightest vibration from traffic or footsteps c...

Re: New Mitutoyo apo 10x

Thanks Scarodacty, I checked all 4 corners and they do not look far behined as far a IQ goes. Yeah, nothing in the crops looks worrying, though it would be the corners that would. But it's not like you can return it, so even if there were some subtle problem it clearly takes very solid shots, no nee...

Re: Table for macro rig

Hi Leander I don't understand the point of this. Since the table is so heavy, it vibrates as much as the floor. But the table with about 100kg is very light compared to the concrete floor (with about 1000kg?). If the heavy floor moves then the light table moves as well. The table will not settle do...
