Digital Bolex rebuild project from David Bross is farther along

[Clark Nikolai]

The recreation of the Digital Bolex that David Bross (of the Digilog camera app) has been working on is now functioning. He's got help from Joe Rubinstein from the original Digital Bolex company. It sounds like he'll have two of them to be used by filmmakers to test it out.

The article said he got a total of 4 sensors.  I think he's planning less on having two for other filmmakers to test it and more for having two to lend to other filmmakers to use.  Unless I misread things, he's not planning to make it a product to sell.  Sounds like he's going to make 3 or 4 cameras total.

(Which is extremely cool, I love when people do something for reasons other than commercial interest)
