- 1x VALOI Levelling Mirror
A mirror is an essential tool for scanning film, regardless of the rest of your setup. It will help you very precisely see if your scanning system is out of alignment, and help you adjust with ease to get perfect results every time.
This mirror was specifically tested and approved by VALOI and is well made, and importantly, it is flat on the back.
Here is a video from Nico's Photography Show explaining the same process.
To level your camera using a mirror:
- Get ready to scan with all the right things in the right place.
- Place the VALOI Levelling Mirror on-top of your whole setup (on-top of your Holder).
- Your camera should now 'see itself'.
- Turn on live-view on your camera/look through the viewfinder and focus on the front part of the lens.
- Adjust the camera position (tilt and pan) until the middle of the screen/viewfinder of the camera is in the middle of the aperture of the lens' reflection. The film and camera are perfectly parallel when the middle of the camera sensor sees the middle of the reflected aperture.
- (If you own the Advancer or the Adapter 104, use the levelling feet for micro-adjustments for a perfect result)
- Making sure not to change anything, remove the mirror, refocus on the film and scan your images.
- We recommend re-checking using this procedure every time you start scanning, and through-out a longer scanning session.

About VALOI
Anyone shooting film knows that scanning usually either includes using a slow antiquated flatbed scanner that gives poor results and takes a long time, or includes paying for expensive lab scans that aren't always the way you want them to be.
VALOI's DSLR scanning system is the solution to that - with the VALOI 360 system of products you can scan full rolls of film at high quality in minutes using a digital camera, while having full control over the whole process. Camera scanning can give you quality scans quickly at a relatively low price - it does not have to be expensive (you can read more about how to set up your scanning setup for the least amount of money at VALOI's Gear Guide.
With our the VALOI holders, you can use either the 35mm or 120 Holder on their own to start scanning for cheap, or upgrade with the Advancer to get professional precsision while advancing each frame and enable better use of our three accessories to improve your experience and results.

The VALOI 360 is a system of products that work together to help you digitize photographic roll film using a digital camera at home. It is designed to hold the film flat without touching the sensitive image area while allowing light to pass through from a light source underneath (sold separately). It will help you scan film quicker and, with the right setup, with higher quality than traditional flatbed scanners. While best used with uncut rolls of film it can also be used with strips down to 3 frames long.
The products are designed be upgradeable and user-repairable while also being made from sturdy materials, giving them a long life span and protecting the environment.
