The VALOI easy precision framing helicoid is made for the VALOI easy systems (easy35 and easy120), and allows you frame the image with 20mm of stepless adjustment. This allows for precise framing adjustment that can optimise the aesthetics and resolution of the scan.

The helicoid screws onto the distance tubes that come with the easy35 and easy120. Add it between your lens and the tubes, adjust, lock and start scanning.

Stepless adjustment for framing

In some cases, you might find it useful to adjust your framing with more precision than the standard included tubes for the easy-systems offer. Typically, adjusting using the smallest tube is sufficient, but in some applications it might be beneficial to adjust, not in increments, but steplessly to get precise framing. Such use cases might be to maximise your resolution by avoiding cropping in post processing, or to achieve a certain aesthetic framing without having to crop in post processing.

Stepless adjustment - solid locking

The helicoid can be adjusted with a smooth and tight action to your desired length. Once you have found the exact right length, two thumb screws let you lock the length in place. This avoids movement in the helicoid, ensuring your frame stays in focus*.

*when used vertically, a heavy camera and lens might still move the helicoid. Please test with your own equipment before using it in a vertical position.

Joshua H. ★★★★★

The 20mm of stepless adjustment makes framing my 120 scans so much easier, and the build feels solid enough to handle daily use. I've been able to get consistently aligned frames without any slipping.

John U. ★★★★★

The 20mm of stepless travel is a game-changer for getting edges perfectly square when scanning 120 film, and it locks down with zero drift once I’m set. Honestly, it feels like I finally have full control over every frame instead of cropping in post.

Stella ★★★★★

I've been using this helicoid for about a week now, and being able to fine-tune the framing in small increments has made a huge difference in my scans. The 20mm of stepless adjustment feels smooth and precise.
