No need to rent even, places like xometry & hubs will make any cad design in several materials and ways for anything from one part to several thousand. It’s how I made my own (much less polished) version of this Alpa TC/SWC style micro-tech cam concept.It is smart he basically rented into a CNC factory and helps them utilise capacities better and has therefore been able to build a product line with limited initial capital outlay for machinery as all is arranged with the production partner. If on a low volume basis he has on top high margins it is very attractive for him.
It is a bit "special" stylistically, some people like it, some dont – he used a copy of the Philipps Explorer 8x10 for one of the field cameras as inspiration if my memory is correct.Wow, the 8x10 from this guy looks like the steampunk version of this type of LF cameras.
I doubt Gibellini will offer this as a service. Coming from LF, the approach has always been DIY for lenses. Which is awesome news, if you want to use legacy glass, MF and movements.Maybe he also does it like everyone – 2k Gibellini mounting costs per lens ...?
I‘ve got one. The entry level model though. I still like the creative use of 3D printed parts.Wow, the 8x10 from this guy looks like the steampunk version of this type of LF cameras.
I would hope so too, but then the body costs 5k EUR .I doubt Gibellini will offer this as a services. Coming from LF, the approach has always been DIY for lenses. Which is awesome news, if you want to use legacy glass, MF and movements.
Anyway, awesome find!
Hm, not clear if it has movements, right?
Thank you for the link to the additional information and pictures!More pics. Looks promising. A bit more info from replies to queries. It will take Hasselblad V backs. Both digital as well as film. Pricing still not out yet.

Information and replies to inquires at the above link are directly quoted from Gibellini below...not clear, but looks like probably no movements. It looks like an alternative to the Alpa TC.
Paul, this looks like baiting from a troll, therefore I suggest ignoring it.You are just repeating what I have written above - I have said this was from the instagram link … in part also based on questions I had asked him.
Do you have some pictures to share you have done with different Hasselblad cameras?
