Seagull camera - Luke Macrobinocular

[jkno]

Please does anyone know if this Seagull camera is accurate (I only have this photo, sorry):

Seems to be the correct one, judging by the silver/ black large knob with straight knurling :thumbsup

Thanks Markus!

I'm completely out of knowledge about this so please a couple more questions: does it need many modifications and parts to make it into a macrobinocular? What would it be worth just like it looks in the photo? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by "make it into a macrobinocular" :unsure?!
The Seagull, along with the Bell&Howell and the Kalimar 6/60 is just a source for a few of the needed parts to convert an Eumig Servomativ into the actual prop!
In this case, you´ll have to cannibalize the Seagull for the large dial and the smaller knobs. (plus the 2nd large knob for a possible stunt macros build). The rest goes straight into the scrap-bin

I´d say it´s "worth" between $40-100 as pictured

Do a search for Lukes Macros and you´ll find plenty of great threads and info :thumbsup

Thanks for the info. As I said I don't know anything about this item (my focus are OT Imperials) and don't intend to make/convert it into anything myself. But I might try helping a friend, since this thing is for sale on a Romanian auction shop for a very low price.

very low price = good :thumbsup

Could somebody please double-check, if I was right on the dial?
I´m 99% sure on it but sometimes my eyes are playing tricks on might and I don´t want to confuse the correct silver dial with a black one, that´s just reflecting light as it´d be when silver :lol

That looks like the right knob to me!
Here's the one I built:

Very cool! Thanks

That knob is correct for the Hero macros, but it does not include the second big knob for the stunt macros. This version has a crank instead.
So it's partly correct. If all you're making is the Hero prop it's fine.
