My new 24x24" camera

Those plates look good! The bellows look like they definitely need support and your telescoping arm idea sounds nice and light. It looks like about the most lightweight 24x24 I can imagine, even with two tripods to carry. I'm looking forward to seeing more output from this camera.

Works fine: I just think about a few improvements (curve shape the darkslide ans V shape the slot, making a telescopic arm between the top of the two parts to get the whole more rigid and hang the belows)

nicely done.

PS: i really hate you for that song though.. it now stuck in my head..

Its like damn Bird by Trashman..

Nice. You have very patient models, posing in that brace while you pour your plates.

Watch this video. It's fantastic.

Luphot shots a plate using the new camera and of course you will see the awesome image he made using it.

very nice idea. any tips or more pictures on how you build the plate holder?
Do you build the plate holder first and then the body or the other way round?
