Very nice devices well designed and fabricated, opening the door of all possible film camera back modification
So far, I've built two or three cardboard box cameras using Minolta glass and rudimentary shutters, and this developer works great as a film back without the hassle of dismantling an old Mini. The only thing I'd like changed is to have the film plane closer to flush or at least level. As for my shots taken with this developer, they are all garbage, mainly because I had no way of knowing, and even when I zoned, my shutters were much too violent, inducing motion blur. But that's not the developers fault. I actually duct taped to the back of a Kodak Duaflex 1 and got much better results.
I really enjoyed this as I was building a camera from start and didn't know where to start, luckily I came across this site and found exactly what I needed, the film developer! My only concern was that after testing the ejection method the spring came off so I spent an hour trouble shooting, Luckily I was able to fix it!
Two years ago, i tried to make my own instax development/ejection mechanism. €70 in instant film + assorted other materials later, and I couldn’t reliably eject/develop a photo if at all.
When I found this mechanism, it reignited my interest in making this camera work. 90 minutes after it arrived, my previously terrible camera was working beautifully.
Amazing!
Two weeks later, I tore apart the previous camera to make a slit-scan version (which is Super Fun)
Probably could have just bought another of these mechanisms…
The gears fail at the beginning, but they send me a full gear replacement, really fast, and without any additionaly cost. Im so pleased with the customer care.

J'ai acheté une unité de développement square et je l'ai combiné avec un vieux lubitel 2 . C'est super et ça fonctionne très bien ;)

My Jollylook arrived Nov 15, so I haven’t yet started assembly. However, I did unpack the kit and look over the instructions. Kit looks well organized with clear pictorial instructions. I’m going to assemble today!
DIY Pinhole Mini Instant Film Camera Kit for Self Assembly (Stained brown)

The quality of the materials is superb. The concept is both modern and venerable at the same time. It's really a top notch item. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the process of taking pinhole photos, and it is super educational, too.
Would absolutely order again!
I built this kit with for 7 evenings with my 6 year old, each session was 10-15 minutes. So much fun!
Malfunction since the beginning and help center useless to help... such a waste of money....
I purchased a Joylook from Germany and sent it to Japan as a souvenir. It was delivered to the address within 1 week after order. I built it up with my siblings and took many pictures while we had a family meeting. We were all curious about the mechanism of the nostalgic camera and amused it. Thanks!
Very friendly and responsive service. Highly recommended
It works well, I had installed something incorrectly on my DIY camera!
I had very fast support and excellent customer service!
Takes great pictures and seems really durable! My son and I had a great time putting this camera together! Makes a great gift!
You can tell the engineers involved in the making of this camera knew their stuff and thoroughly worked through every step. A great project to take on with the kids or for an older kid with a little model building experience. The photo quality is suprisingly good for what it is and the satisfaction you get from taking pictures with a camera you built yourself is great.
That was my first manual camera and I enjoy creating photos instead of just making them by phone. Moreover, building the camera yourself first and then it works is incredible!)
