Custom Cardboard Box Assembly Machine

They come in a cardboard box. Cool, I can always make a custom case. Very simple, STURDY design. This is what the people probably want to know. I searched for videos, reviews for this and there weren't too many. So took a chance. SOLID design. Using a GH4 to Nikon G lens, tight fit, no wiggling or disappointing manufacturing flaws. And this does have sharp focus. I would definitely recommend picking this adapter up.

Custom machine is awesome and the best machine

Perfect for carrying the beauty dish - much better than using the cardboard box. :)

I just purchased the AMG 500 from B&H and I am delighted with the product. Here are a few comments, however, which may be helpful: The assembly URL:�kranecarts.com/amg500/assembly�does not work. I could not open this from any of the browsers that I use. The two frame parts that must be aligned for the axle to be inserted were very difficult to put together. I needed to coax them to align with a wooden block and hammer. The central frame component is filled with cardboard packing which is not easy to remove. I forced these cardboard bits out when I inserted the axle. The assembly �instructions should note this. Intuitively I would have thought that the deck adjustment mechanism �would have locked the frame when it is in the 2 wheel hand truck position but close examination of your promotional video reveals that the velcro strap does this. I’m curious as to why the adjustment mechanism doesn’t do this? The product instructions should be clearer on this. These are not complaints - just comments - as I'm quite taken with this product and have now used it several times and it performs excellently.

I bought this to get the ability to focus and control spot size. I then had to order a couple of these little Pepper lights. I got one with barn doors and the other Pepper will have this Focal Spot attachment. Although the adjusting blades assembly is a bit awkward to adjust and use; once you get the right tensioning, you can slide each one in and out, without affecting the position of the other three. I found that by removing one of these four adjustment blades, I could then insert a piece of heavy cardboard. By cutting out various shapes on these cardboard inserts, I could in effect come up with a sharply focused image-spot. For my application, that's more useful than the adjustable square/rectangle shapes you can obtain with the sliding blades. I do wish the way the front lens assembly slides in and out could be a bit smoother. The little locking screw that holds the lens in, has to be loosened each time you want to change the focus. That does get a bit problematic when the light has been on for a while. This whole assembly gets really hot. Think I'll invest in a pair of oven mits! Other than that, this is a keeper considering the price.

The locking system on the stand ensures a safe support for a mic of any price. Assembly was very easy - you really don't need the included instructions. Aesthetically and functionally, the stand is a welcome addition to my studio. The only thing that surprised me in the negative was the packaging - two cardboard boxes weakly taped together. Holes pushed through the cardboard by the boom arm and stand tube. Luckily, no scratches on the finish were apparent.

Worked right out of the box with time Machine.

The machine worked great right out of the box.

Nice case to replace your cardboard box! For the price it's great

We were able to get about 1,380 slides in ours - standard cardboard mounts. Good sturdy box.
