The VALOI easy precision framing helicoid is made for the VALOI easy systems (easy35 and easy120), and allows you frame the image with 20mm of stepless adjustment. This allows for precise framing adjustment that can optimise the aesthetics and resolution of the scan.
The helicoid screws onto the distance tubes that come with the easy35 and easy120. Add it between your lens and the tubes, adjust, lock and start scanning.

Stepless adjustment for framing
In some cases, you might find it useful to adjust your framing with more precision than the standard included tubes for the easy-systems offer. Typically, adjusting using the smallest tube is sufficient, but in some applications it might be beneficial to adjust, not in increments, but steplessly to get precise framing. Such use cases might be to maximise your resolution by avoiding cropping in post processing, or to achieve a certain aesthetic framing without having to crop in post processing.
Stepless adjustment - solid locking
The helicoid can be adjusted with a smooth and tight action to your desired length. Once you have found the exact right length, two thumb screws let you lock the length in place. This avoids movement in the helicoid, ensuring your frame stays in focus*.
*when used vertically, a heavy camera and lens might still move the helicoid. Please test with your own equipment before using it in a vertical position.

Materials
Valoi has made sure this helicoid not only fits perfectly onto the easy35 and easy120 tubes, but also have made it out of materials that will last and provide a stable tube for scanning. The core of the helicoid is made out of brass for maximal precision and durability, while the shell and threads are made out of aluminium to ensure durability, stiffness and lightness.
