Great video Niko. Fabulous to see the progress of the Intrepid Camera company. Long may it continue.

[@toulcaz31]

What a journey? The camera has changed so much since the first gen. It would be nice if they had a promotion for first gen owners who kind of funded their development.

[@IntrepidCameraCo]

Hi Nico! We offer upgrade deals for all our Kickstarter backers, email us for more details.

[@cocochelback56]

thank you a lot for doing these lives this woul really help us who would begin in large format :)

[@CertainExposures]

Really nice studio setup. Especially that background color. Looking forward to your lessons.

[@JHurrenPhotography]

This is great news Nico!! I just ordered this camera. It will be my first LF experience, so these videos of yours couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you!

[@hermantoothrot]

Que preciosidad de cámara por Diossssss ❤️

[@jonathanhotopf1823]

Looks really well packaged now. Looks good.

[@juancarlosguzman2827]

Awesome! An you believe that I have the Intrepid Mark I and I haven’t used yet! It is overwhelming, I guess I will paying attention to your tutorial. Thanks for doing these videos it really help 👍

[@PiratePhD]

How strong/durable is the 3D printed material compared to the wood version?

[@k0ba_]

I really want one of these

[@ganzonomy]

Happy 50th!!!!!!!

[@soulstart89]

The me got the unboxing nico. What is the material used for the back body? Is it plastic as it’s 3D printed?

[@regentzs]

Which is better compare with chamonix f2 ?

[@ErrolHeywood]

looking forward to the tutorials👍

[@Meloen5]

If you order a wooden 4x5 MKIV now, would that also have the improvements that these (3D printed) ones have?

[@chilecayenne]

I've been eyeballing Intrepid for a LF camera. I love how the black color looks, but I think personally, I"d rather have the wooden one over a 3D printed plastic one....

[@Disco_Shrew]

I'd be curious on the build quality between the 3D printed vs the Wood ones.

[@chilecayenne]

@@Disco_Shrew I would too!

[@obican]

I wonder what kind of material they used for 3D printing. PLA isn't the most stable after spending some time under the sunlight.

[@gui4j]

Happy 50th Nico , hope you had good day :D...

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Thank you!!

[@CalumetVideo]

@Anthony Chatburn I was thinking the same! What’s his secret.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

Hahaha, 38 now. Not sure why the 50th now.

[@CertainExposures]

Hey Nico, I've got a few questions. How significant do you think it is it that the bellows aren't interchangeable? Does Intrepid replace bellows for a reasonable price in a reasonable amount of time? Also, is there any chance of a two year review? 👦🏿 It's crazy how light it is. My Graflex gets heavy and 5x7 cameras are so pricy...the Intrepid 5x7 doesn't have many detailed, long termreviews.

[@nickfanzo]

Nice

[@craigfouche]

Do you know if Intrepid will make a 5x7?

[@maxwellwellmax878]

Nico! te miras bien! Que Dios te cuide y a tu familia!!.

[@ayenoppa4717]

Does the 3D Printed body make from plastic? How durable it’s compare to the standard plywood? Cheers for review

[@IntrepidCameraCo]

It's a high grade bio-plastic PLA, sustainable and very durable :) we use 3D printed components in all our other cameras too

[@TheDIMONART]

@@IntrepidCameraCo Hey, maybe try PETG instead of PLA? Or even Nylon filament? And second question- how big printer should be in XY axes to be able for printing 8x10 camera components?

[@terrywbreedlove]

I wonder if they have plans to make a Black edition 8x10. I shoot 4x5 and I have a 8x10 enlarger so was thinking about moving up.

[@NicosPhotographyShow]

I think the limitation is within the 3D printer.

[@terrywbreedlove]

Nicos Photography Show I see so they need a bigger printer :)

[@TheDIMONART]

@@NicosPhotographyShow 8x10 inches= 20x25 centimeters? I have such a big printer (my is 330x330x330). So, they need to make some STL`s of 8x10 camera for sharing with community:-)

[@thegreaterconundrum]

@@TheDIMONART Well they're a small business trying to make a profit so I very much doubt they would just "release" the plans for their main product lol

[@roberte.andrews4621]

My father's 1923 Kodak 2C Model A Autographic still has its original bellows in some wonderful synthetic leather (plastic) and has never needed replacement in 97 years, nor a cleaning, lubrication or adjustment. I have used it since I was 12 and have the selfie shot to prove it. I won 2nd Place in Portrait Div. of POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY's 1998 International Contest in which there were over 60,000 entrants, amateur and pro. Having a replaceable bellows isn't a high priority to me and shouldn't be to you...unless you're extremely clumsy. Pinhole leaks in leather bellows can be remedied with some vinyl aerosol spray treatment from your local shoe repair shop. Black tape doesn't hold up in the field and I don't recommend it. My Intrepid MK4 has rip-stop nylon tent fabric outer bellows layer and should be quite hardy. Repair kits are available at your camping equipment stockist oftentimes.

I have to share some thoughts here. All these terrible copies of the R H Phillips and Sons Cameras are really proliferating the cameras eco system over the last 5 years. These new brands are really poor representations of the innovations that Dick made, but totally miss the point of why people like Sugimoto, Sternfeld, Mann and Soth to name a few use or used the Phillips camera. Dicks cameras are super light, but supper rigid. With incredibly engineered tolerances and mechanics. Dick used innovative materials for his time and they still are, and his cameras are as smooth as butter through all their functions. In particular the handle to lift and insert film holders at the back of the camera. That hands down is the most important feature, making the functionality of loading the film holders on the cameras seamless and easy. I have both a custom black Compact II 4x5 Dick made me, and a compact II 8x10 Phillips cameras, and I sold my 8x10 Explorer a decade ago because i was tired of rotating the entire camera to shoot portraits, and I soiled that camera to Richard Moses. but I do miss how light it was compared to the Compact II. And from experience I’ve used and owned the Chamonix and Shen Hao, etc etc, and Canham and countless others and all these new brands and particularly the cheaper knock off ones feel heavy, cheap and clunky in comparison. I’d rather use an older heavier field style Linhofs or Toyo than these knock offs. If you can afford it Arca Swiss made the best lightest rail cameras I ever used. Simply amazing cameras in terms of weight and functionality. At least those cameras are made to last a lifetime. These cheap toys like the Intrepid are designed to be consumer grade toys. Sorry but its true, and they’re not cheap. And give me a break, limited edition in black! What a joke that was. Seriously go buy a toyo or horseman, you wont regret it. You have to also consider why Dick made his cameras in black, at a time when most large format field cameras were adorned with heavy rose wood parts and brass fittings, that drew your attention to them. The phillips almost disappears in it’s stealthy compact and easy to use nature, and when you work with it, the cameras just recedes into the background of your workflow so you can concentrate on making pictures, rather than fighting with he camera. Ultimately its just a functional box to hold the lens and the film in place, but you have to ask yourself is this box worth what I have to sue it for?
