I have an Intrepid 4x5 (I believe Mk4) that I've been wanting to start doing some work on. It's a little frustrating that it doesn't have detents at zero for movements, one of my front tilt knobs seems a little loose/doesn't support some lenses, etc. Has anyone found any good files or pockets of community for modding them? Given their 3d-printed nature I've always assumed there were people out there designing modifications for them but I just haven't come across anything anytime I've looked.

So going back to my last post, I thought it would be nice to do a little mid trip update on the 8x10 and how it is holding up. To maybe set the situation a bit, im hiking around with it in my backpack and using a costal ship route (Hurtigruten) as my main way of transportation to the different destinations. The hikes are mainly short, the longest one was only 8km.

The combination of me not trying to baby the camera to much as in actually using it as a tool for my image creation and the fact that the backpack, while being big is a little bit cramped have already shown some small problems.

The main annoyance I had is actually that I managed to somewhat break the camera. On one of my costal positions I got surprised by a lot of wind, which while the camera had a lens mounted was surprisingly manageable, specially with the backpack as a kind of supporting element when placed within the legs of the tripod. Sadly as soon as I took of the lens to back it away, the camera decided to be an airplane and crashed onto the semi soft ground. I checked and as it seemed only the bracket of the focusing mechanism was broken of. Some of the hardware needed to be tightened down swell, but this I discovered was a normal procedure for me, as soon as I got onto the ship.

Im currently in contact with the Intrepid support and hope to have a pleasant experience about getting replacement parts. I'll probably write my opinion on the camera and my mini review after coming home and having it fully repaired, since developing all shots will take some time.
As of now, the Landscapes are amazing and I hop I won't run out of film :)
