SlideSnap Pro Rapid Slide Scanner

slidesnappro.com Background music by my insanely talented brother Ezra The Slidesnap Pro is a marriage of technology new and old. It leverages the concept of "Slide Reproduction by Photography" for fast and faithful slide scans. A Digital SLR camera (Nikon or Canon) and a suitable macro lens are all that is needed. Attach the camera to the mount, activate remote shutter trigger, load a carousel of slides and hit start. The resolution of the scan is limited only by your camera's ability. The Kodak projectors at the heart of every unit were designed with professional use in mind. Their slide advance mechanism is, to this day, an unrivaled marvel of clock-like precision. We build every unit to order in house here in Appleton WI ( USA ), so we oversee every step of production. The projectors undergo extensive modification, and are then outfitted with a custom camera mount, light / power supply assembly, and control unit. Specs Bright LED digital readout / slide counter Scans up to 140 slides in under 5 minutes. Evenly backlit with an array of LEDs Compatible with both Nikon and Canon DSLRs Simple rotary encoder based control Scan continuously, or define amount. Audible alerts Adjustable scanning speed Built on industry standard Kodak projectors Driven by Arduino micro-controller ( easy firmware updates over USB ) Automatically pauses on batch end (blank slide) or slide jam Accepts Kodak slide carroussels (80ct, 140ct) 120v US Plug
