A biaxial, self canceling focusing screen oscillator for DOF adaptors.

[Toenis]

For last nine months I have been leading a product development team that has designed a leaf spring oscillator (http://www.cinedof.eu/render_12072006.jpg) for visible noise reduction in DOF adaptor assembly.
A biaxial, self canceling focusing screen oscillator that even dampens vibration before it reaches adaptor housing. It oscillates about 0.2-0.4mm in diameter and has snap-in snap-out screen holder.
All in one-piece design to save production/assembly time and costs.
It utilizes off the shelf 12mm coin type vibration motor and accommodates different frensel focusing screens with 25-26mm of height.
BTW it fits into tube that has at least 56.7mm inner diameter like many macro tubes etc.

Should I take the honor of inventing and publishing that biaxial oscillator principle?

I guess it takes another month to get it into production.

Cheers,

very cool!!!!

would be sick to take my ifocus and throw ina piece to vibrate the GG.

How much is the vibrating GG assembly going to cost? I want one, once I see some footage.

As it`s aimed for DIY community it wouldn`t cost too much, something around $100 for instructions and Beattie-like screen with vibraton unit.
Additional costs would be only for macro tube ($10), batteries/charger, stepdown rings and Cavision rails mount ($80) plus something like $80 for #6T/250D acromat for HVX users.
Let`s hope that for DIY folks it will be possible to make their own smallest and most versatile DOF adaptor for under $300.
