A wide variety of accessories were made for earlier models of Minox cameras, and some very useful ones are still being made for the newer models. Model C and earlier cameras had filtre sets, auxiliary viewfinder attachments and a selection of electric flash cube guns and electronic flash units made for them; these are still commonly available on the used market at reasonable prices.

    The following accessories are still available (new) from Minox, USA (see the Resources section of this site for the link) for the specified cameras.

    An ingenious design, this metal pocket tripod is barely longer and only slightly thicker than a standard # 2 wooden pencil. The shaft on which the ball head is mounted is hollow, containing two more legs that unscrew and slide out of it from storage. These are then screwed into the ball head, making a sturdy 3 legged tripod. The last leg also has a cleverly designed cable release stored inside, completing the ensemble. These tripods have proven so popular that many owners of other brands of camera have purchased them as well. The tripod will allow you to directly mount a Model LX or AX, providing you don't have a need to use the cable release as well (these cameras have an integral tripod socket). If you do, then you'll purchase separately the plastic Universal Mounting Adapter, a small plastic cradle that holds the camera, and provides a screw in socket for the cable release. Model C and earlier models require the purchase of a metal Mounting Adapter, a cradle that holds the camera which the tripod then screws into; a cable release mounting point is part of the adapter. Both types of mounting adapter are still available for purchase from Minox, USA.

    New ones are now only available in metric calibration. This is a 4 legged device with telescoping legs that screw into a mounting cradle. This allows the camera to be positioned at various heights above a table for quick photographing of documents, coins, or other objects for documentation purposes. The newer models contain two mounting points for a cable release, one for the Models LX and AX, the other for Model C and earlier.

    New ones now have two cable release mounting points to cover the LX/AX, and Model C and earlier. Essentially a cradle for the camera, on which two screw adjustable clamping jaws are fitted. The clamping jaws allow the unit to be clamped to the eyepiece of binoculars, telescopes, microscopes or other optical devices for a variety of photographic opportunities. Some exposure compensation is required; instructions on this come with the unit.

    This slide on metal adapter provides a mounting point and electrical contact for standard electronic flash units from other manufacturers. Although they will physically slide onto and work with all models of Minox 9.5mm cameras (excepting the EC/ECX series), owners of Model IIIS and earlier cameras may find that it obscures their view through the viewfinder. Longer model cameras won't have this problem; a window cut out is built in so as not to obscure the exposure metres on the models that have one. Model III, II and Riga cameras do not have the electrical contacts necessary for a flash unit to function with them using this adapter.

    The earlier model (no longer made, but some still unsold on dealers shelves) was flat and square, about the size of a small matchbox. The newer model is still tiny, but is styled more like the traditional "potato masher" units. Both are manual units, and are designed to mount directly onto the side of the EC and ECX cameras via 3 curved electrical prongs and a pinch lock mechanism.

    For the 8 x 11 Electronic flash unit mentioned above, this adapter fits onto the 3 curved prongs of the flash, and then allows the flash unit to be mounted on all of the other Minox models that have a standard PC contact on the side (excepting the Model III, II and Riga, which had no provision for flash).

    All models except the EC/ECX series came with a small security chain with distance measuring beads along the length for easily measuring close focusing distances. The ones for the LX and AX clip onto the carrying cases for these cameras; this bushing allows the chain to be clipped to it, which is then screwed directly into the camera's tripod socket for those people who want to secure the chain to the camera when it is out of its case.

    For the darkroom enthusiast who wants to develop their own Minox film, this unique tank allows you to place the film cartridge into it, and then screw the lid down for a light tight seal. The film is then wound out of it's cartridge via the screw down action of a centre cylinder, and the proper developing chemicals poured in and out as necessary. An included thermometre allows you to monitor the solution temperatures, as well as using it to properly agitate the chemicals in the tank.

    This is just a partial listing of what is available by way of accessories; excepting the 8 x 11 Electronic Flash Units listed above, all other accessories will not fit on the EC or ECX models. Replacement leather cases and measuring/security chains for a variety of models are also available.
