Anyone backing Intrepid Electronic Shutter?

[Will Deleon]

Been following this for a while now. The idea to have another “economical” electronic shutter on the market is an awesome. Can mount your current Copal 0 lens on it.

I don't have an immediate need for one, plus I much prefer to wait for feedback and testing before dropping $400. I definitely want them to succeed, but I also want a working shutter that that is relatively accurate, so I'll wait.

Looks very cool, and the design is something very interesting - I think they are using PCB based coils to drive the shutter blades:

Backed.

I am very happy with Copal shutters, but I am curious about the technology, the consistency of exposure sounds great and - most importantly - I am happy to support people who support large format photography in such an innovative and creative way. While at it, I got the lens as well.

Putting my money where my mouth is...

Best regards,

Absolutely remarkable what a few determined, dynamic, skilled people can achieve on their own.

I hope they continue developing new lenses ...!

I wish I had a need for one. I think any new tech for LF is much needed! I hope this leads to larger shutter tech.

Yeah, I am also backing it. It has so much potential if it is successful! I can imagine a system like this being integrated onto an Actus lens board. I know Intrepid intended this for large format film users but it certainly could be developed for folks using tech cams as well.

I backed it, even though I am not sure how much I will use it. To me, encouraging this sort of development is very important.
