New Diffuser

I was running some tests for the last few days on another diffuser for the Lytecap. This one would run the range from 4.4 - 7.6 (approx). The great thing about it is, you could switch it up on the fly (some situations call for different aperture settings). Also, it would be really inexpensive for shipping because it would go in a regular envelope (probably like $2.00 shipping) - all together, most likely it would be under $7.00 all together including shipping (maybe less).
At least this way, the Lytecap users are getting more latitude from their units and a greater range of apertures.

Also new units would have a choice if they wanted both diffusers shipped out at the same time. Anyways, just something to ponder. Keep watching for more updates.

LyteDolly

LyteDolly
Just something that I am currently working on while I wait for the diffusion material to come in and in between getting the Lytecap for 35mm adapters ready.

The Lytedolly actually works really great (sorry about the name, can't think of anything else right now).

It has a perfect slide, nice and smooth. If I tilt it slightly up or down, it dolly's on its own, very slowly - like a slow creep. I like to put a little weight on it while I movement it so there isn't any back and forth while dollying.

This is great when you don't want to set up a dolly or for some quick push ins in tight places - like a fireplace, mailbox, under a table, hole in the wall etc.
There are a few things I need to fix
1) replace the wood with another materia
2) securing it tightly to the aluminum tubing underneath.

The head is from a cheap tripod I picked up for $20.00 ages ago. I wish I could get more.

I just leave my Lytecap on the end for show and protection.
