Art Projector - Kopykake Kobra K5000

The Kopykake Kobra K5000 Artist Opaque Projector is a versatile full-page overhead drawing projector allows you to enlarge and trace images up to 300% or shrink them to 50% and even works with some 3D objects.

It is in excellent condition, but a modification was made to fit two bright LED lamps in place of the original incandescent bulbs.

Professional artists and illustrators will love this projector for capturing the fine details of images from books and magazines eliminating the painstaking task of replicating the details, leaving them free to use their artistic talents to create a new masterpiece.

The Kobra overhead drawing projector also projects horizontally allowing you to project images on the wall up to 20 times the original size for creating murals, but is ideally recommended as an overhead projector for drawing.

It takes a full A4 page maximum (and some 3D objects) for projection.

The Kobra projector produces clear, detailed images suitable for professional artists and illustrators, but its ease of use makes it a valuable tool for aspiring artists and hobbyists. Although it comes with two very bright LED lamps, for best results, a darkened workspace is recommended. Maximum practical projection size on a tabletop is about A1, although projection on a wall (with projector turned sideways) can go to about 2.5 x 2 m.

This drawing projector opens a world of possibilities when creating works from book covers and images when the primary focus is creating new works that celebrate the artist’s unique style and presentation. Even Da Vinci took advantage of this technique with a prototype called the “camera obscura" to create many of his paintings.

The projector measures 68 cm from the arm to the center of the lens and weighs 11.3 kg.

A user manual is available.

Note that due to the size and weight of the projector, pickup from my address in Pretoria is strongly recommended. Otherwise packaging and shipping will be R550 extra.
