The Canon T70 camera is a favorite camera for many film users. Unfortunately, the design engineers at Canon had a design flaw in the battery door that disabled the camera.
I am an inventor and designer with 70 US patents (http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=in%2Frinner+and+in%2Fjames&d=PTXT). I am always looking for ways to improve things.
If your Canon T70 has ANY ONE of the following issues then this kit is for you!
- Broken Battery Cover Latch
- Broken Battery Cover Latch AND Missing Metal Jumper/Connector
You must have an intact battery cover for this kit to work for you.
A recent purchaser said "Thank you for even making this part, such a life saver!! I appreciate your ingenuity and all the instructions included! Super happy with my purchase!".
This kit includes:
- New larger and ergonomic 3D printed camera grip. The grip is held on by spring pressure. Please make sure the grip is secure in place before using the camera. (3D printing can leave some bumps, gaps and surfaces that are not completely smooth, but these do not affect the actual purpose/use of the grip)
- Detailed step by step instructions to easily manufacture and install the missing metal jumper/connector on the battery door.
THIS KIT DOES NOT INCLUDE A CANON T70 CAMERA BODY.
When purchasing this kit you are fully aware that you will be using tools (scissors) to cut metal which could result in sharp edges that could cause you injury. Proper care and use needs to be exercised.
Always use a camera strap to prevent accidental dropping of you camera!
