Why level your scanning setup?

When scanning film, it's important to make sure that the camera sensor is as parallel to the film as possible. Otherwise, one side of the film might appear blurry and the resulting image might look distorted, with non-90-degree corners that resemble a parallelogram. This is a common issue when working with camera scanning systems and requires careful attention.
To ensure flawless scans with minimal adjustments, watch our founder, Arild discuss levelling your setup with the VALOI levelling mirror. You'll notice that we have updated the design a bit! Find the mirror on our web-store:

Great video on an important aspect of DSLR scanning. To make this even more accurate and easy one can make himself an overlay, that can be used when scanning tethered to a computer. Most software that you can tether shoot with allows you to overlay an image while shooting. I made a neutral grey overlay with multiple, centred rings of varying diameter. When I align my setup I can use this overlay to line up the lens barrel or all the other rings you see in the reflection of the mirror with the rings of the overlay.

Great instruction on an important scanning topic. 😊

Thank you! This definitely is more important than it seems at first.

Ordered mine today but, ouch!, the shipping price to Texas almost made me back out. I'm sure your mirror will be much better than the cosmetic one I'm now using. Oh, best of luck to your country's acceptance to NATO. Long time deserved.

Just received my enthusiast kit, so this could not be released at a better time 🎉
