Introducing the Cumulus Portable Film Scanning System.
This film scanning jig allows you to easily digitalize your developed film, with nothing other than a camera and a lens.
The Cumulus system:
- Requires no light source. Yes. Use the sky and use the clouds. Point to the sky and start scanning!
- Requires no tripod or copy stand. This jig is self-supporting and self-aligning!
Detachable face plate allows you to insert and center your first frame easily before you begin to scan.
Spacer tubes allows you to place your film at the optimal distance for your macro lens.
An innovated alignment ring secures the spacers to thread tightly to your camera while still allowing the face plate to rotate and align with your frame.
See for yourself scans I made hand-held!
Non-light-blocking parts may have different color.
Design may improve without notice.
Lens with
less than 40mm focal length is not recommended.
Now available for mounted slides!
Enjoy the convenience of handheld scanning to digitize your precious memories.

Technical Details:
Spacer tubes are connected with 52mm filter threads. If your macro lens has a different filter thread, you will need a step-up/step-down ring.
Spacer tubes come in 10mm, 20mm, and 40mm sizes. A set of 10/20/40 allows any combination between 0 to 70mm in 10mm increments.
While this system is designed to be used without a copy stand and light table, you can of course use it indoors with a light table or a stand.
The face plate is designed to have sufficient clearance for lying on a light source.
Camera and tripod are for illustration purpose and are not included.
