Minox tripod

16 Thursday Jan 2014

Posted by minoxmaus in Minox tripod

≈ Leave a comment

The Minox tripod is, without doubt, one of the most clever gadgets in the Minox spy camera range. It basically consists of two major accessories: the actual tripod, usually stored in a leather case, and a tripod adapter that allows a Minox subminiature camera to be mounted on top of it. In fact, the tripod can also be used on its own with any other camera.full

The clever bit is in the contruction of the tripod. After unpacking it from its leather case, only a single leg with the tripod head is visible. The remaining parts are all stored inside this one leg. Each item is screwed in place and can be released individually.

After removing the other parts from the storage leg, there are four major components: three legs to form a tripod, and a shutter release cable. The two additional legs are mounted into the empty holes of the tripod head. Release the thickest leg somewhat to adjust the head.

A camera can now be mounted on top of the tripod. If a Minox subminiature camera is used, the additional Tripod Adapter is needed as well. It is mounted straight onto the tripod head. At the bottom of the adapter is a lock that has the same shape as the latch of the measuring chain. After removing the measuring chain, the camera can be fitted in the tripod adapter. The black rigged ring is used to lock the camera in place.

A movable bracket on the tripod adapter, allows the shutter release cable to be mounted and to be positioned right over the shutter release button. This way, the camera can be operated without touching it, which is ideal for taking low-light slow-shutter images.

Minox camera cases

14 Tuesday Jan 2014

Posted by minoxmaus in Home made cases

≈ Leave a comment

The first one from the left is a home-made csse for EC, my first EC that is. It didn’t came with a case, so I made one. Sturdy leather, green, fits like a glove.

Middle one is a copy of Riga case, made by Luigi in Italy (link here). Extremelly well-made, cannot be used with the chain attached to camera.

The right side one is a regular EC leather case. Minox cases

This one here is a home-made leather case for Minox A/IIIs. I have used it extensively while traveling, because I didn’t wanted to ruin the original cases. The humid/dry and mouldy environment I was travelling ithrough was definitely prone to such actions.

Minox thermometer

14 Tuesday Jan 2014

Posted by minoxmaus in Thermometer

≈ Leave a comment

Part of the regular Minox tank pacjage. Used for pumping chemicals inside the tank, and obviously, taking a reading of its content temperature.

Fragile, I do not use them. Breaking one of these inside the tank will ruin the negative, and besides, too expensive to replace nowadays :-).

Minox loupe & slide cutter

14 Tuesday Jan 2014

Posted by minoxmaus in Loupe & slide cutter

≈ Leave a comment

This is particularly handy of you wish to cut your own slides. Don’t know anyne who is in the Minox slides these days, but that doesn’t mean you cannot start your own dia show. Plenty of slide frames to be bought on the Evilbay, cheap too.

Minox loupe and cutter

I do not use this tool, as it scratches badly my precious negatives, when using it as a loupe for viewing frames.

Minox tripod head

Especially handy when it comes to those long exposures. Works with a release cable, just make sure you have the locking-type one if you employ B or T shutters.

Minox right-angle viewer

Does what is says: view the next snap at 90 degrees. Good thing if you do not want to let people know you’re snapping them.
