Finishing touches on newest version

I am just putting the finishing touches on the new Lytecap. It now has interchangeable LED's - easy enough that the owner can do it without having to solder. Just a matter of placing the LED pins in the socket and you are on your way.
I will be including an extra LED with the package, but the price has gone up slightly to compensate for the new items I am including, as well as the work for this.

New Price for the Lytecap :

$27.99

Includes : extra set of batteries and an Extra LED.

Success - the newest iteration of the Lytecap on its way

I will now be bundling the Lytecap with an extra LED - with EXTRA EXTRA LED for sale on the site. This change stems from isolated incidents of LED burning out - this can't be helped and just like anything, bad LED's will make their way into a batch.

With the new version, the user can swap the LED in case of a burn-out without having to do any soldering. It will be a matter of removing the LED from it's mooring and then putting in the newer LED and inserting the leads into the appropriate holders. A set of instructions will be included.

I will let you know when the newest batch is ready to go.

Sorry about the delay...

I have recently been testing a way to add replacement LED's to the Lytecap - this way when a user gets the Lytecap, they have the ability to replace the LED in the eventuality that is burns out with another one (these things do happen). I will keep you posted.

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.

Fleet ready for shipping...

Well, not really a fleet, but seven Lytecaps to go out on Monday this week. I have been busy getting them ready and working on the next version.

New Price effective immediately - $24.99

The price of the Lytecap is now $24.99. Any orders that have come through already will be charged the old price of $19.99 - any new orders from April 19, 2008 on will be charged at the new rate. Thanks for your time and patronage.

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.
