It won't get you pro-level stills or videos (IMO), but this appears to be a (comparatively) inexpensive way for someone to get into coin photography and be able to control lighting angles and intensity, whether using DLSR or phone camera. The beta versions had some limitations, especially re: reflective toned coins, but the production model appears to have mitigated some of the deficiencies. I have not worked with the beta units firsthand, but I spoke with several people who have. Not afiliated with the project or creator, but have backed the Kickstarter.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 05/15/2026 09:44 am Definitely some thoughtful improvements from the original - the top light as an alternative/addition to the axial. I'm not really sure about the rotation for video - it seems like it was an afterthought, and the sample videos have too much glare/external artifacts coming into the screen. It needs a porthole for the phone and a holder to support it. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
