The Aussiemorphic Lens & New Sled

DISCONTINUED

Due to demand for a "pass through mode", the Aussiemorphic Lens once again has a "SLED"
[manual only at this time] to allow the anamorphic adapter to be easily moved in and out of the light path for native 1.78:1 and 1.33:1 program.

Aussiemorphic Lens & New Sled
[Inverted model shown]

New Sled
The new sled is smaller [260mm x 180mm x 61mm] and does not include the large plate [as pictured below] from the original design. The new sled now uses ball bearing slides for a smoother action.

NB: I have kept these older images simply for demonstration purposes.

POSITIONED IN THE LIGHT PATH

MOVED OUT OF THE LIGHT PATH
Whilst the new model does not include the mounting plate, the diagram below is a guide to show how to mount the Aussiemorphic Lens/sled combo in front of your video projector.
A New Plan
The diagram above shows the new sled mounted on a custom plate. In this diagram, the main plate is 16mm MDF [700mm x 600mm] with a 10mm Perspex used as a projector mounting plate [550mm x 500mm] which is then mounted to the main plate using bolts, washers, nuts [I'll use both wing and lock nuts] and compression springs. The design is large enough for projectors like the Benq W10000.

The New Projector Mount and Sled
The new mount is quite large. I have recessed the Sled back so that the front of the lens [when attached] is flush with the front of the mounting plate. The Sled attaches with two bolts [under the actual slide] to the main plate to allow easy attachment/removal of the Aussiemorphic Lens.
