Valoi announces easy35 v2 with major mechanical upgrades

Valoi Easy35 V2

Valoi announces the easy35 v2, the next generation of its compact film scanning system. The original easy35 launched in March 2023 and has since then been adopted by thousands of photographers worldwide. The new easy35 v2 is a complete redesign, with over 80% new components.

The easy35 system is built for camera scanning. It attaches to a macro lens and uses an integrated light source and film holder to digitize analog 35mm film with a digital camera.

The main update in easy35 v2 is a new Universal Light Source that increases light uniformity from 81% to 99%, delivering more even illumination across the frame. The light source is optimized with a fixed color temperature to help balance the strong orange mask of color negatives, reduce the risk of clipped reds, and preserve detail for post-processing. It is designed to remain neutral for black-and-white film and slides, and to support formats including ECN-2 and color negatives. The new light uses CRI 95+ LEDs for improved color accuracy.

The easy35 v2 also introduces major mechanical changes. The body moves from 3D-printed nylon to injection-molded ABS, improving surface finish and tightening mechanical tolerances by 5–10 times. The rotation mechanism is now all-metal. The film holder system uses a 5-point spring-loaded ball-bearing design to keep the film consistently parallel and to speed up holder changes. The unit also adds magnetic accessory mounting for compatible accessories such as the Duster.

For power and workflow, easy35 v2 is designed for both portable and studio use. It provides over four hours of continuous battery operation and adds Smart Battery Bypass, which allows the unit to run on USB‑C wall power without draining the battery. VALOI says this reduces heat and helps preserve battery health.

Repairability is also updated. The easy35 v2 is assembled using standard screws rather than glue or clips, and major components such as the battery, electronics, and housing sections can be replaced individually. Film holders remain replaceable, and multiple formats are available at launch.
