A CHEAP Pop-Up Film Changing Tent? 8x10 Large Format Photography (Leia heavy)

[@missjanetweeden]

excellent! love seeing all the green trees! beautiful camera!

[@AdamWelch]

The real-time dynamic of this is funny to me 🤣 And thank you. Never thought that 8x10 would ever feel "small" the way it does now.

I ordered this tent bag today with a 1 year warranty. There's currently a 5 or 6 week back order wait. This is the best deal out there I think. I'm so tired of the flat bag. Thanks

[@AdamWelch]

I hope you like it, Dale. And yes, if you've never used a tent-type changing bag the difference in comfort is insane. This bag is still going strong well over a year later btw. I might well do a quick update on it as a long term review. Literally have had zero problems with it which was really my biggest concern given the price compared to others.

I see you finally got around to it. Well done.

[@AdamWelch]

Just seeing this. And yes I surely did. Cool little box but I've got a feeling I'll be using the Hive more often than not.

love your photos. great video!

[@AdamWelch]

Hey thanks a lot, Marcus. I appreciate it.

Wow that is a big tent. I just ordered one as I am tired of blacking out a room every time I need to load film. Changing bags are no good for me because my hands sweat so much and I end up ruining the film. Hope ventilation is good in there.

[@AdamWelch]

That was the EXACT reason I tried a tent over my changing bag. I'm notorious for having issues with loading some of my film on reels so my hands and arms always got sweating and the film would jam. The tent has solved this problem in all but the most hot/humid conditions. I actually place a small cordless fan in there when it's exceedingly warm and it makes the temperature a total non-issue. Of course I'm care not to let the film wander into the fan.... If yoy were like me and had never tried a tent like this it truly is amazing. My tent is still going strong since this video btw, which was something I was concerned about.

@@AdamWelch got it works great. I will say that I do prefer the freedom of a dark room vs my hands at some through the sides and at the level of whatever surface the tent sits on, but no need to blackout a bathroom. Also no sweaty hands. Tip for the hands, bar soap like dial that will dry out your hands. Also realized I have a bunch of exposed film in the fridge that needs to be developed and scanned.

I bought the same one about 2 months ago, but mine says Photoflex and I paid twice as much for it. The Adorama one was backordered out of stock and had been for a few months... Oh, well, I like it and it works well. 🙂👍

[@rwdplz1]

In stock now, but price is up to $50

I call mine "Robbie the Robot".

[@ArthurFellig]

Please don't film and drive.

[@AdamWelch]

Not in this economy.

[@ArthurFellig]

@@AdamWelch I dig your videos. Just pull over while you're filming. For safety's sake.

[@AdamWelch]

@@ArthurFellig Safety? Arthur, do you have any idea how much Vaseline and rum is in this car??? We're living on the edge here.

[@ArthurFellig]

@@AdamWelchHaha, well alright! I hear you. Just consider it. I'll settle for that.
