Hi guys! I'm Han who actually makes the binstax. Thank you Willy for the review and hope everything is going well with you now! I was hospitalized around the same time last year as Willy so I guess that makes us sick friends *ba dum tssss
To address the two main issues Willy pointed out with binstax: I've actually considered making the crank somehow foldable and I'd definitely implement it if I was to design the binstax from the ground up, but since it's basically a modified instax SQ1, I have yet come up with a functional design that is also good looking. Plus it's more robust this way with less moving parts. But I'll look to improve the crank over the next iterations. Or just grab a bigger camera bag, man.
Regarding the door latch: it is in fact raised ever so slightly above the door by 0.2 mm or 8 thou, so it's possible for the dark slide to catch the latch while you're inserting it into the holder. I've made the dark slide holder in a way to make up for the raised door latch, so that's probably the best I can do for now. It does not happen very often if you get the hang of it.
I started the binstax project due to popular request about a year ago and you can read how it came to be on the update page: zins.tax/updates, if you're into some nerdy stuff.
Thank you Willy again for the amazing review! Also the white binstax Willy showcased in the video is the only fully white one out there, since I had massive light leak issues with the translucent white ABS/PC plastic and couldn't find a reliable remedy. I ended up scrapping 2800€ worth of parts and had to order another batch for 4000€.
YOUUU LEGEND! Thanks for being a great sick buddy, and thanks so much for the insight and clarification!
My camera bag is perfectly average size and that’s just fine darn it! Ahaha
The Binstax definitely is great as is, I just enjoy it so much I figured I’d point out things I might enjoy in the future so we can force you to make a Binstax ii sometime down the road muahaha
Thanks so much again for your amazing contribution to the film photography sphere, there are no words to express adequate appreciation!
Is binstax available again?
Thanks Han for making these! I got mine at the end of December and absolutely love it. Before 2016 most of my photos were shot on FP-100C, so getting a serious replacement has been a journey. I’ve tried most of the available instax alternatives (Lomography, MiNT, Fujifilm) and Binstax is probably my favorite, certainly the best image quality by a mile. Big props to you for the design and finishing, it is top notch!
Great project, thanks. Does this work with RZ67 too? Greetings!
If you ever come around to making those adapters (almost insulting to call it that) for different cameras...let us and William know...
The greatest comeback in RUclips history
Ahhh shucks thanks so much Lucas! Felt so good to be making things again haha!
@@willysheepskin we are so happy you’re back. I have to admit I was a bit worried but it’s so good to know your okey.
Saludos from Chile 🇨🇱 ❤️
@@willysheepskin you're a legend and a role model for fighting cancer. Seeing this video, you back at it really made me happy.
I agree, the legend has risen. ❤. Good to see you back, missed ya
King himself showed up
Hehehe thank you Roshan!
The holiest of days as our lord and savior Willy the Goat has return to bless our feeds yet again 🙏🏼
Ah maaan you’re such a legend! Watched your latest with much gusto and jealousy, that town and its surrounds look crazy, I have to join for the next group excursion ahaha

Ahaha dude I loved that song so much in high school I have to go listen to it again now
Glad to see u in good spirits. Take care of yourself
Thank you for the kind words! I most certainly shall!
Missed ur Videos soo damn much
Thanks Jesper! Editing a couple more already so more to come soon ahah!
That is great idea to help one avoid dropping a light meter!. IMHO Mamiyas are beautiful cameras.
It's so useful to always know where it is too haha! Yeahh they are beautiful in their own way, but at least for me don't line up with being the most aesthetic things haha, the Contax's though 🤩
The man of Rb reruns!!!!
William "RB" Sheepskin ahahah
The Legend Returns!
Looking healthy, pushing the fashion industry forward with photo gear fit innovations and still shooting bangers. A triumphant return man 👏
Cheers mr B! Hope all is well with you! I hope to come up with more photo gear fit innovations ahahaha!
Great to have you back!
Thanks Chris! Great to be back!!
Yay!! Missed ya!

Thank you kindly! Next video is going to be a trip with my favorite photographs I’ve ever made in it so I’m very excited to share that ahah!
He’s back!! Love to see it 🙌
Also aftermarket/OEM terminology being used in reference to cameras is awesome
Ahah thanks dude! I think I’ve been tracking down too many car parts lately so those are the phrases that came to mind 🤣 hoping to see a Porsche roadtrip viddy sometime very soon 😏😏
The sound of the mechanism is identical to that of an ice fishing rod😉📷🎞️👍
See now that’s a fact I’d never have known but makes me enjoy it even more now ahaha!
Dużo Zdrowia William 💪📷😎🎞️ Bro!💪
GREAT TO SEE YOU'RE BACK
Great to be back!!!
Pure Joy and music to the ears when I heard "Hi there! Will here!" An excellent, interesting and informative presentation. So good tohave you back. ❤
Thank you so much ☺️ I’m going to start looking into good places for a dragonfly tattoo by the way muahaha
So so so good to see your lovely face again, Mr Sheepskin! Looking 💪! Thanks for this, you seriously made my day, William!
So so so good to see you in the comments again kind fish! Feeling much stronger than I have in quite some time too which is awesome. So glad to have been a positive moment in your day!! ☺️✨

WHOO HOo! Great video, exciting product, and it’s great to see you again Will! Take your time and focus on you. Your health is number one. We’ll be here-whenever. As always, cheers!
WHOO HOOO JUSTIIN! So rad to see you again! Hope all is well with you and yours, and thanks for your sage advice once more, it really helped! Cheers!
We will keep watching Uploads don't need to be on a scheduled The content supports the reason to follow!
Wonderful video. "HIBISCUS!" So glad you are prioritizing recovery ❤❤❤
Welcome back! We missed you
Thanks so much Arturo! I missed this toooo 🥳
@@willysheepskin omg, you answered me! 🤩
Very cool little gadget for the RB, Glad you are also doing better!
He's back!! So glad to see you up and at it brother! Much love from LA!
Thanks dude! Much love right back to LA haha!
the King is back !!!!
No u da king my friend!
Hes back! So happy to see you are healthy Will.
YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!! 💖💖💖
YASSSSS ✨
I'm really glad to see you William, welcome back 🙂
We’re all happy to see that you’re back at it!!
Thanks so much John!
I had been missing you. Great to see you thriving again ❤. From now on when I encounter a flower to shoot I am going to refer to it as “this lovely flower situation here”
Ah thanks Sergej! Ahaha that’s the way all flower situations deserve to be described I reckon! 🤣
HEEEEEEEy, it's nice to see you again all well and good!
btw the purpose of the bar is to grab a corner of the instax film and push it so the rollers grab it and it's in all instaxes (although some models might implement different type of latching) in some form. it's just missing the sticker and moves automatically upon exposure.
Cheers Benn!!!
I actually thought that’s what it’s intended function was but I wasn’t sure on that and I think Han said the zinstax doesn’t have it and works fine so figured that couldn’t be the case.
Great to have some input on that though ahah, thanks so much for sharing!
SO DAMN GOOD to see you back
SO DAMN GOOD to be back! Cheers Aram!
HES BACK!!!!
Yezziiiiir 🥳
Glad you are in a good place!
Yeeaaaaah you are back! Good to have you man!
Thanks Cristian! Great to have you around also ya legend!
Missed your videos 🥹
I missed putting them out here! 🥹
Return of the King! So glad every time i see a Willy Sheepskin video drop :) Heath comes first, always. Take your time and we’ll still be here when you post another video ☺️
Ah thanks so much! And thank you for the kind words, it won't be too long before the next few though since they're well along in the editing process already! Whoop!
I dig it. I want it. The camera and the back.
Go forth and splurge my friend! They're both very solid investments in my eyes haha!
Very cool! I've eyed that old abandoned building in ****** often - I love how you used it for this video. Harks me back to the early 00s when I was shooting my Mamiya 645 Pro TL for work...
Love the light meter idea! Def going to start doing that!
I hiiiiighly recommend it, I used to spend so much time wondering what pocket I’d put it in but now it’s just always there ahah
Mans is back! We pray that you keep growing, keep recovering and keep building your strength🙏🏼 cheers my brother!
Thank you amigoooo! Who knows maybe theres a Buff will floating around someplace in the future lolol, cheers!
Welcome back brother, good to see you doing well 🙏🏼
Thank you Sherif! Very glad to be back and doing well finally haha!
Glad to see you back! 🙌🏽
Thank you Jovan!
So cool to see you back!
I am so delighted to see a video from you on my page again! Glad to see you're doing better, I've truly missed your regular uploads.
The amount of times I leave the dark slide in on this thing! 😂 so glad to see I’m not alone.
Ahahah I pretty much lose a frame per pack to myself being silly, I've resigned myself to it now though lol! Rad to see you around as usual Dylan! Cheers!
Here for it. Glad you are well. Glad you took time for you, highly underrated now a days.
Thanks so much Justin! It is indeed underrated, the universe gave me a good excuse though ahahahah!
@@willysheepskin that positive spin is everything!
Glad you are back! Awesome video as always..👌
Thank you so much! Very glad that you enjoyed it!
YES!
Whoop whoop!
Love that youre back my guy
Thank youuuu!
Ah man, I miss Capetown and Table Mountain
There's no place quite like it hey!
Feels right in the world to see you back! I hope nothing bad keeps you off RUclips again, it's great to hear from you
Thanks so much Sam! Feels right to be back haha, I truuuuuuuly hope I have some better luck headed my way now haha! Cheers!
Been hoping you would do a Binstax video! Enjoyed it all.
Awesome video. Really happy to see you back willy!
Thank you Yucca! Had so much fun putting it together, glad that you enjoyed it and very glad to be back!
Awesome to see you doing so well again.deffinately an inspiration to us all. thanks so much!
Cheers Jimmy! Would’ve been a lot harder if I didn’t have all you legends that watch things cheering me on throughout, so thank you!
It's heeeeeere.
Really enjoyed this comeback mate. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
i hope that ain't sounding weird since we are total strangers but I m so relieved and happy that you r still with us...after the recent news and the sudden disappearance I was expecting the worse!👊
That doesn’t sound weird at all! I don’t really see folks that watch my stuff as strangers really, it’s like we get to hang out together every time a video comes out haha! I’m sorry that I wasn’t that great at putting stuff out here on RUclips but tried to put out little updates on instagram! Glad to still be around to put things out though haha!
@@willysheepskin Appreciate you ma man!🙏
Willy! 🥹
Sreeeeekuuuu! How are you!? It’s been too long!
@@willysheepskin Doing good chief. Yes it’s been so so long. Hope you’re good and back in action ♥️
que bueno que volviste!
Muchos gracias amigoooo
What cool locations, perfect to test out some new gear.
Cheers Iain! David has been trying to get me out to that first spot for months haha, so glad I finally went!
So glad to have you back .. great video
Wonderful to be back!! Cheers Tim!
Tomate tu tiempo, recuperate que es lo importante. Cada video es increíble. Always a fan ! Always watching old videos. Un abrazo.
Thank you so so much! So glad you still enjoy the old ones, I’m always trying to keep them feeling the same but also improve haha!
Another great vid, but most importantly I'm glad you're feeling better dude!
Many thanks Lance! I too am very glad haha, felt like that saga was going to last forever at some stages!
The best way to end the week! ❤️ maybe you should make it clear that we didn’t move into this extremely fancy abandoned house 😂
Bwahahahahaha I mean all that’s left of that house is the floor, although I’d live there for the view 😏 we can buy a tent and make a plan I reckon 💞
Always great to see you again, man!
Thanks Germán! It's great to be back!
Yay, Willy!! I signed up for the waitlist on the Binstax a couple of weeks ago, this must be a sign that is was a good financial move
It was an eeeexcellent financial move in my opinion, has been so nice to keep it on hand and use it for stuff that might not be worthwhile on the Portra but is still worth photographing. Feels so much less intense than normal rb photographing for me too ahah!
Awesome video Will! Really cool piece of kit and great to hear a little life update!
Cheers Reimann! Have your street photography video queued up currently! Super curious to see what an NFL draft is about ahaha
@@willysheepskin oh awesome! I’ll be curious to see what you think of the photos and the event as a whole!
So glad to see that you're well and back making videos. I can't wait to see more!
Thanks David!! Many more to come!
a great video, but the most logical thing to do with the winder, is to make it a key, which fits inside the compartment, saving space, and also this key could be the door opener as well, being a safe way of doing it, so that the darkslide can't open it by accident, as it would be a 'turn' not a push motion.
Thanks Andy! On the key front I don't think that'd be the greatest solution unfortunately since a key is the sort of thing that gets lost quite easily and it would be a bummer to have to whip it out every time you want to advance the film! I think the current design is super great, just wanted to offer some potential advancements for the future to encourage the arrival of a Binstax ii at some point haha! At the end of the day no one but Han has spent the amount of time thinking about how to make them so I'm sure there are reasons for all the features being the way they are, in spite of our efforts to come up with improvements lol!
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas though!
@@willysheepskin that's Ok, just something which came to mind; also with the key idea, you can tether it to the darkslide handle, like a zipper pull, this you can't lose, so easily.
the man, the myth, the legend
very happy to see you back, best of luck in all your future endeavours
Ah shucks thank you kindly! I wish the same for you!
The man returned... ❤
Yeees indeedy! :D
We bak!!
Yeziiiir!
I’ve been interested in trying one of these backs for awhile. Your photos turned out great, well done !
Cheers Alex! It’s worth a try I reckon, they’re really great fun!
Great video man, happy that you are back putting stuff out into the world. Shout out to Haan, a true legend. #sheepsquadisback
Thanks to you for being there alongside me the whole way through man! Haan is indeed a legend of the highest proportions😤 #sheepsquaaaaaad
Glad to see you're still doing your thing and being healthy, got kind worried to be honest.
If you only put out a video every few months or so, i'll watch it happily anyways :-)
I bought an instax back for rb with the original motor kept inside from a guy in the Netherlands - works really well.
Made me happy to see that you're back again Will- great shots btw✨️
Oh that’s interesting! On one hand I’d be into that but part of me also really likes keeping the rb all mechanical ahaha, for now I reckon I’ll see if I can tinker with the lever or expand the camera bag somehow! Glad you liked the images! Cheers Svend!
Good to see you back! Loved seeing you use the Binstax. Seriously considering picking one up, especially after seeing your results!
Thanks so much! I highly reccommend it, its tons of fun and I use mine like every time I take out the RB haha!
The legend is back at it :)
Ahah and what an honor it is! Cheers Benjamin!
miss you bro
Great to see you again! Looking good and glad that you are doing a lot better. I had a colleague from work who, after transitioning to Instax backs for his medium-format cameras, never looked back on his other photography wares. I guess it takes some by storm!
Great to see you again too Alp! I very much understand your colleague from work's decision haha, it really is a wonderfully different experience!
It's nice to see you again, Will. I’m glad you’re doing better and wish you all the best in the future.
Don't worry about the consistency 'cos, you know, good things in life are best enjoyed in low doses. So I don't mind waiting for your videos, no matter how long it takes 😉
Thanks so much Tomáš! It's so nice to see you still stopping by after all this time haha! I like the small doses line of thought lol! Don't worry though there are a few in the editing stage that shan't take too long to come out at all hopefully!
Welcome Back!
Immensely happy to see this. Frequent and regular uploads are "only" for optimizing for the algorithm to give you more exposure. Important for your income for sure, albeit indirectly. But the quality of your videos is just top-notch and waiting for a new upload from you is *more than worth the wait*. Your recovery and health are paramount!
What a lovely Idea the Binstax/Zinstax is! A proper camera to expose that film finally.
The shots you showed were excellent. I'd be interested into how it compares to portra (or frankly any positive or negative film) in terms of quality...to get a feel what the quality loss there actually is. For sure it's gonna be tremendous. But the usualy instax cameras are just potatos.
Looking forward to supporting you by just clicking like, and subscribing.
Cheers form Germany.
Hey man! Is there an update of your health? You look good. Hope you’re feeling better! Thanks for the video. Love your work, cheers
One of your best yet. Absolutely marvelous ❤❤❤.
Thank you so muuuch ✨
hope you'll get well
Great to see you back again! I've had the binstax for a couple of months now and it's so much fun to use, especially when starting to get into flash. Nice Billionaire Boys Club sweater btw!
The first thing I did was try it with flash and it works so well once you’ve figured it out hey! Stoked you’re enjoying yours too! Also it’s like my favorite sweater hey, had it since 2013 I think and it’s still going very strong haha!
How much did you pay for the Binstax?
@@leem1440 I think it was 350-400 usd around. I believe that the purchase was worth it because of the build quality and also Han is very dedicated to this considering he scrapped a bunch of parts he already paid a bit of money for and bought better parts at his own expense in the name for his product. Also it's really fun to use. If it's within budget, I'd say go for it!
Good pacing to this video, nice priduction. I promptly put my reservation in on one of these for my RB67 too. 😀
