The perfect accessory for LAB-BOX

LAB-BOX is a modern and versatile daylight tank that allows you to develop 135 and 120 films thanks to its modular system.
With its elegant and functional design, it has become one of the most popular products
in the analogue photography scene. M-BOX fits perfectly into this context,
maintaining the same elegant and functional design.

Designed for those who want professional development results,
M-BOX simplifies every step of the process, allowing for greater precision and control.

Main features and design

The product design is reminiscent of the LAB-BOX, in elegant matte black plastic with orange inserts, compact and portable.
The top features the power and program selection knob and LED lights to indicate the charge level.
On the inside, there is a compartment for the magnetic motor, where you can insert the pin to attach it to the LAB-BOX.
On the bottom, a silicone cap protects the battery compartment and contains the charging cable.
On the side, there is a connection for charging with a USB-C cable.

How to use it

Three agitation modes

M-BOX allows you to choose different agitation modes during the development process.

Three programs are available for each stage of the process, from development to washing.

Motorized and controlled agitation ensures the best possible development results, guaranteeing uniform treatment even in 120 and in the most uniform areas of the negative, such as sky or backgrounds.

Three different programs of agitations

Program 1: Continuous slow

Continuous, slow rotation (approx. 40 rpm)

Recommended for the stop, fixing, and washing phases for which a higher speed is not necessary.

This program allows you to save energy.

Program 2: Intermittent

Intermittent and fast rotation (approximately 80 rpm)

Recommended for the development phase, this program achieves better results in terms of development homogeneity.

The program stops for 4 seconds every 16 seconds, this interruption increases the uniformity of development, especially on the most homogeneous areas (skies, backgrounds) of the negative.

Program 3 Continuous fast

Continuous and fast rotation (approximately 80 rpm)

Recommended for stopping, fixing, and washing phases.

It can also be used for developing 35mm film. It is the fastest program but also consumes the most energy.

Continuous and slow rotation (approximately 30 rpm)

Charge level of the batteries

To charge the M-BOX, insert the supplied USB-C cable into the port on the side of the motor.

Once charging is complete, the red charging light will turn off.

The M-BOX has a battery life of approximately 60-70 minutes at maximum speed after a full charge.

Between 100% and 25% charge, there is a reduction in rotation speed (from 85-90 rpm to 60 rpm), which does not affect the results, however, as it always remains above the minimum rotation for uniform development.

We recommend recharging the M-BOX for a few hours every 3 development processes, or in any case, as a precaution, using the motor when the charge is at least at 50%.
