Why get a power winder for your camera and what do they do? This quick video gives an overview. Sometimes considered an external battery grip, power booster, power winder....they add ergonomics to your camera, faster shooting capabilities and auto wind or rewind for some of the models.
We give a strong recommendation as an added accessory if you are a high-volume shooter. Plus they look pretty great.
What are your thoughts? Would you use one? Why or why not?
Holy shit. The canon ae1 with the auto winder is, apparently, the origin of the stock "camera shutter" sound
Motor drives make your film camera sound more like "$ha-ching..$ha-ching $ha-ching $ha-ching!"
Just inherited my mothers Pentax ME and there was a Pentax ME Winder II in the cameras bag. Can't wait to put some film through it!
They are indeed. Thanks so much for featuring your update. Much appreciated.
I doubt very many people want to burn through film at 2+ frames per second these days, however, I prefer large, heavy cameras and will often use a winder (set to advance the film one frame at a time) to increase the size, weight, and balance.
The only 35mm film camera that feels right (and not like a toy) to me, without a winder is the Nikon F3.
I agree
I got a canon ae 1 winder,with 1 year warranty, for my ae-1,it's on the way to me,it's thursday, here in germany, it should arrive monday.
The EOS 1N is really underrated. An absolute bargain to buy too.
totally agree!
Love my Nikon F4 with the MB-21 winder. Heavy as hell but it is great and surprisingly easy to handle in spite of the weight.
LOVED the size and weight of my Nikon F4s.
Wow, that cannon sound is the most stereotypical camera sound I’ve ever heard.
A motordrive makes the camera bigger, bigger = better. The best tool for the job is always the biggest tool for the job.
Interesting, The F3 is probably the least comfortable of the motordrives that I have used. Canon nailed it with the MA for the A1 and the AE1 P.
I got a winder for my A1 for 3 reasons. 1) it adds way more gripping area which helps in manipulating the camera for weird angles. 2) it sounds awesome. 3) with the winder, 70-210 lens and an eyecup, the camera is basically the in game camera from GTA SA which is pretty cool
Honestly the noise alone is almost making me want one...
@@valentinozoboli4592 it sounds great but it's worth remembering that the amount of batteries it needs and how quickly they drain is distressing.
@@no.7893 That is concerning. I imagine its very easy to fly through film too.
If you use a stabilized zoom lens on a "modern" camera like the Canon EOS 1 V/N or 3, you'd notice your expensive battery will drain quickly (also true for Nikons and others). because the stabilizer needs a lot of electricity to work. Same for the autofocus motor of heavy lenses like a 50mm 1.2. With a battery grip your batteries will not only last longer, but you can also use rechargeable batteries, saving you a lot of money!
I use a Power winder on my Canon AL-1 to keep the battery door closed.
1:29 For the Canon winder, it's actually 2 frames a second.
wish it was easier to finder a power winder stand alone. Trying to find one for my minolta maxxum 9000
I love my F3hp and MD4 combination the sound is amazing it’s sexy lol 😂 mind you the MD12 on my FM2n is pretty good to they improve the handling for me
Yup. I love the size, weight, sound, and nostalgia of winders (set to single advance mode) on 35mm film cameras.
Anybody out there know what to do with an a2 that worked last time I used it now it doesn’t even work with fresh batteries.
It weights a lot, when I got my Nikon FM the grip was sulfated so it was easier to me to just throw it in the thrash haha
Pentax LX + Pentax SMC focal lengths
In the past, OK. Nowadays, if I think a fast sequence will be required, I use digital, which doesn't have a heavy winder. For analogue, a waste of expensive film, extra size, and especially a lot of extra weight. A nice gadget or tool once, but no more now.
