If you are a hardcore photographer and you feel your camera as a part of your body, This cam is for you people to carry your cam when you are on the go.
Large format photography is often associated with heavy metal box studio cameras that, put simply, aren't ideal for lugging around.
Chicago-based camera company Wanderlust is hoping to lighten the load. Last week, the duo — Ben Syverson and Justin Lundquist — started a Kickstarter campaign for a portable and ultralight 4x5 film camera called Travelwide.
"[Justin and I] are both lifelong camera tinkerers and makers — we're always working on some sort of new project," he said. "I started getting into large format back in 2006, but I wanted something that was lighter and easier to travel with."
The Travelwide shoots on 4x5 film, which is about 13 times larger than the usual 35mm lenses most SLRs use. It's slightly larger than a DSLR, but much lighter.
The pair constructed a prototype camera, made from 3D printing, and carried it with them to a trip to Brazil, where they realized it was a viable product. For market, the cameras will be built using rapid injection molding.
"The idea here is that we wanted something portable that you can pack at the last minute," he said. "If you're heading out the door and think, 'Should I bring the 4x5?,' you can because it's so small and light-weight."
One potential downside is that users will need to provide their own lenses, which are available used for around $150, Syverson said. The group includes a helpful list of where to buy lenses on their Kickstarter page.
Pending a successful campaign, the Travelwide will sell for $99. At time of writing, the project was more than $43,000 into its $75,000 goal, with 27 days left to donate.

ReplyDeleteis the camera on the pic is a model design or a prototype.....?
ReplyDeleteIthink its too big to handle while the rest are handy...though they are in weight?
It is the actual model that is shown in pic..It shoots with much more detail than the cams that you are talking about..It is a bit bigger than the professional DSLR cams but it weighs much lesser than DSLR cams..Its just a compromise with size buddy..Its better than SLR cams in image quality and Weighs less than a DSLR so it can be a great choice when u go out for a holiday..
