My barndoor mount is about to get a surge in use again now I have my DSI Pro and an adapter for my old SLR lenses. I had reached the limit with my previous imaging device (Kodak Z730 point and shoot camera) so I hadn't bothered using the barndoor for quite a while.

I also didn't mind turning the handle at first for about 4 or 5 months then I began to tire of it. Luckily I had an old stepper motor I had ripped out of an old dot matrix printer a couple of years earlier, just sitting in my toolbox waiting for an application.
