Vello PNDS-120 Reviews

A budget friendly quality built product

I purchased this item so I could create a digital version. Kind of like a contact sheet only easier to see...LOL Old eyes. The Base is metal and the light has a magnet which holds it in place very well. The remote control paired up without issue. The holders stay closed well and the film lays flat. Depending on you phone's camera, your quality may vary. I am not trying to use this item thinking I will be able to make nice prints from the shots. BUT the light and holders and base CAN be used with an slr or mirrorless on a tripod. And if your camera has BT you might even get it to pair with the remote.

Digitize your 35mm film! I love this!

If you're like me and grew up in the 90's or prior - this device is a must to organize old photos or just to see and digitize your past photos easily. At first glance this looks complicated, but it's not. It was very easy and fast to set up with my iphone 15 pro max. I used an app called 'FilmBox' that allowed me to easily and instantly convert the film negatives with this Vello digitizer. This digitizer is well built and comes with a ton a features that make this well worth the price. - 35mm AND 120mm film strip holder - bluetooth remote trigger - bright LED light - easy to adjust and align the film strips Note: Be sure to remove dust from the film strips and the film strip holders before scanning because they will likely show up when scanned. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]
