this is the guts of the working prototype. hooked up as a webcam to set the flange distance.

shutter in red and power in black.

one option is to encase it in foam like this. feels nice because its a bit squishy.

in the end this is what i went with. i intent to give this to someone to test out. the black box and red button are clearly off the shelf items and so dont provoke any discussion about form. this should focus any dialogue on the function which is the focus of the prototype.

just enough space to fit the small floating pcb and the switches.

what an utter mess. im not great at soldering and this is very fiddly. this is so i can use my own switches for power and shutter move the mode dial to a part of the box with more space.

all in. what a faff. couple of late ones in the studio but it does take photos.
