Скачать или смотреть NIKKORMAT LIGHT? CAMERA LAMP? WTF? (How to DIY)

In this video, I show how I built a lamp out of a dead Nikkormat camera. This process should work for a bunch of different film cameras as long as you have a body cap and a shallow light fixture. I'm sure this isn't the only way to create a camera light, but it's what worked for me on this Nikkormat. This was built to be the prize that I'm giving away for the #filmfebruary contest.


Tools I used
Dremel with cut off wheel, Pliers, Drill, Screwdrivers

Materials needed:
Dead film camera, Light socket with shallow base and threaded collar (preferably switched), Body cap, 1/2"x #6 screws (size may vary depending on camera), Plastic adhesive

How to build it:

1. Drill out the body cap the circumference of the socket
2. Remove the shutter using pliers
3. Remove the mirror and mirror carrier with pliers
4. Test fit the socket inside the shutter opening
5. The mirror bumper may need to be cut/ ground out using a Dremel tool with a metal cutting wheel
6. Route the cord through the opening and mark on the back door where you want the cord to come out
7. Drill a pilot hole, then another hole slightly larger than the cord width
8. Use the Dremel tool to remove the lip at the bottom portion of the hole you drilled for the cord.
9. With the body cap installed apply a small bit of adhesive to the face of the body cap (not shown in video) then clamp the socket ring against the body cap.
10. Drill two pilot holes in the socket ring and install screws to hold the socket in place against the body cap.
11. Route the cord through the hole in the back door
12. Install the LED bulb (I recommend using a 5w bulb or lower) and you're all set!


Random info:
I actually built a wooden base for the bottom of this, but ended up not liking how it looked, so I didn't use it.
If you did want the camera facing forwards but not near the surface where its sitting, one option is to put it on a small 6" tripod.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency this might not be the best place. These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv remote control. Pretty random and confused.
