Glass Plate Carrier (for homemade 8x10 view camera)

[borutpeterlin]

I don't understand how do you load a film plate when it's glued together and what does it hold a film plate if we open a darkslide and camera is leaning forward? That being said, you gave me a very good idea how to solve the problem and I'll modify your plan and make a holder in the same way, but gluing tin-plates. THX!

You ever make the camera yet?

Thank you so much. I was looking everywhere for a design for a plate holder for my 1888 view camera, but couldn't find one. Thanks.

Nice vid, but shame this is all there is... what happened to the rest???

I want to make a similar holder for a 4x5 camera. Can you guys make a vid of how you actually made the darkslide part? And what the end result of this video looked like. Thanks

Looks great but how will you stop the glass from falling into the camera once the front darkslide is removed? I don't see any way in this video.

freaking love yall for doing this. I use a calumet 4x5 and i really want to do stuff with glass negatives, but I can't find a holder anywhere.

Very useful, thanks a lot ! I was confused with finding additional cassetes for my 13x18cm camera and this is the solution ;)

the plastic is PVC sign board available at your local sign supply shop. Its cheap and easy to work with, you just use woodworking tools and glue it together with acrylic cement.

we will deffinatly post more as the camera comes togeather. we had to start with the film carrier so that we can match the rest of the camera to. it. the black material is a plastic made by dupont "sintra" i think thats how you spell it..

and more importantly - when will you post more videos on the camera ?

all the best for Ag47!
