I'm helping my brother in law with some Amazon 360 degree photos for his company's products (just low voltage infrastructure stuff like wall faceplates, IT stuff etc).

Most of it will be 3D rendered, but there's a few things they don't have models for.

I'm good camera wise, but was looking for a turntable that can specifically do 5 degree increments. Amazon specifically requires 24, 48 or 72 photos.

Client wants the 72 option but only turntables I can find go up to 64.

Any good customizable turntables out there?

ComXim has several that might work for you. The standard basic one can be stepped in .5 degree increments with the remote although it would be a lot of clicking if you are doing a 360. There is also one with a USB interface that can be controlled from a computer and I imagine there are more options there. Saw someone on Reddit wrote a piece of software to drive both this and a camera to automate the process.

Thanks! Yeah I looked at that one but didn't realize there was a USB one!

So coming back to this - since it was a rush job and I didn't have a lot of time to futz around, I got the Foldio360 + Foldio3 set. Def more expensive. $280 for lightbox and turntable. But the app is killer and even has a (WORKING!) auto background-removal that works surprisingly well. Worth the extra coin if you need a one stop solution.

Had another look at the 135mm lens and it does look like the threads are messed up.

Blasted through a roll of cheap Fujifilm 400 with the Canon just to see if it works at all, and nothing great came out of it. Probably didn't help that I went through the whole roll before I realized that the rangefinder is out of whack.





Man these just tickle my brain in a good way even if you think they aren't great.

Pretty interesting update on the Nikon Red acquisition. They paid only 85m for the whole company.

Jesus. There has to be something to that price I'm not seeing because that is beyond dirt cheap?
