A coupled Visoflex I

I introduce to you here a Visoflex I, M mount, with a mechanic coupling system.

Usually you must use a double cable release or an OZXVO-M, pneumatic operated, one, and you need to rearm it, every shot.

 

Here you just have to push on the little finger to flip up the mirror and release the shutter. this little finger tilt under the screw to mount/unmount the Viso-M.

It does not work on vertical framing, obviously...

 

We have no documentation about this system, if somebody can light the lantern....

this Viso is coming from England.

Very interesting find, JC... a not trivial device.

Simple idea, and very nicely made. Hopefully there is something engraved on it hinting who made it.

There is nothing engraved, when you see how the pieces are made, the research for rigidity, I have some doubt about a single exemplar made.
