PDF

The Photopistol is my attempt at recreating the old Photosniper lens kit from the Soviet Union. It turns any lightweight camera that supports a wired shutter release into a literal point-and-shoot-camera. Build guide and required materials are included in the zip. You'll need quite a few M3 nuts and bolts, a pair of JL012-13.5-2 microswitches, and some soldering skills.

This is currently a work in progress. DO NOT use this  for heavier lenses, wait for the photorifle.

Things in the works:

Colourful insets

Grip plug with a wrist strap

Fully modular Photorifle with a haptic addon

Magazines for storing spare batteries and SD cards.
