I actually modeled it into it as wear. But i truly appreciate it. Im knee deep in a fairly relentless filming/building/magic-wheelchairing schedule and probably wont revisit that one anytime soon.

Very nice. Loved watching that.

Part 1 of 2 : Disassembly

Excellent!!

 

[PropsToHistory]

Thanks. It's a bit long, but I'll figure that out with the next one.

Works out great! We have really needed this!

I have about 30 of these videos in the works so hopefully the rest will be as helpful

I've just aquired one of these cameras and stripped it down with macorries video. Sadly I had to break a small lens in the camera but it won't be seen once the camera is back together. Just watched all of Macorries videos.

Here's some new shots of it, showing inside the viewfinder has some sort of screen installed.
Boyega holds it backwards, then flips it around, giving us a split second shot of the viewer.
Also this version appears to not have the rectangular plate on the bottom with the domed rivets.
It also has the sling/strap as featured in the TLJ visual dictionary.

Nice! I think its time for TT to dust off the PD macros greeblies kit .

Grabbed some additional screencaps from the featurette.

I still have a few B&H Sportster IV Cine Cameras from the UK might have to look at a TROS version

Same Here. I have two of them that I haven't gotten around to converting.
I'm thinking this might actually be the TLJ Visual dictionary version, although I don't remember seeing it in the movie.
Does anyone know if it's in the new visual dictionary?

 

[Mike J.]

Don't think this one (from this footage) is in the film or the new VD. I think the scene in the film uses the Quadnoculars; and they're in the new VD as well.

Starting my build now and this thread has been tremendously helpful! Could someone provide the approximate locations for the swivel sling attachments? I would greatly appreciate it.

I literally just eyeballed it from this photo and mimicked it on the other side.

That makes perfect sense! Thanks!

I used the leg strap from a Nemrod holster for the grips. I got this from a Nemrod diving knife holster which are pretty easy to find.
Still waiting for my swivel set though.
