What is the Lobster Holder V2?
Tired of the never-ending battles with flatness and the questionable results when scanning your precious films? Welcome to the world of the Lobster Holder. This is our V2, which, as a rocket ship, swats through the waters of subpar or overpriced film holders. The idea stays the same as with the original—we want to give the community a holder that keeps the film flat.
We absolutely love the new version. We conceived the original Lobster Holder more than three years ago, and learned a ton (about 20 washing machines for the non-metric crowd) about its design and CAD, and it shows. We managed to address every little thing we wanted to fix for some time and are super happy to show it to you, a connoisseur of outdated image-capture media looking for ways to digitize it at home.
