Questions & Answers

Is it possible to tell whether the gears are made of metal or plastic. ?

Plastic. My camera is a Nikon D700 with an old metal lens that I use. It works fine and has stood the test of time, but I only use the copy stand on occasion.

Is this copy stand easily transportable, or at the very least possible, in airline luggage?

The vertical bar can be removed by removing one screw from the bottom. The vertical bar measures 29" in length and does not fold, collapse, or telescope. The stand's flat portion measures 15 3/4" x 18 3/4" and does not fold. It's possible; it appears to be a little long, but I've seen some unusual things make it into overheads.

Is there a link to a canon rebel in this? What would be the best way to connect this to a tripod-mounting camera?

This is what I use with a Canon Rebel. The stand has a small plate with the same tripod bolt, which you use to connect the camera to the plate, and then the plate clips onto the stand, making it very secure and capable of handling the camera's weight.

This copy stand was purchased for the purpose of photographing artwork and photos. Which lighting setup is the most effective? up for a glare-free environment?

For 3- You could even make a "tent" out of thin white cloth with the lights a few feet outside the tent and a hole for the lens using D pieces.

Two medium-sized "soft box" type lights, angled 45 degrees to the right and left and placed a few feet away from the subject, tend to work well in a packaged setup.

Selected User Reviews For Albinar High Load 28 inch Copy Macro Stand with 15.75 inch x 19 inch Base, Quick Release Mount

Strong enough to handle intricate work- I considered other big-name models before purchasing this Albinar model because it was a good deal
4/5

2-dollar name-copier stands Three times the amount After reading a positive, in-depth review on the web, I decided to give this model a shot. I'm satisfied with it now, after six months of continuous use: It's fairly durable and serves my needs well. This stand at 1: I do a lot of detailed macro work. 1 magnification with a 36mpx dSLR, which converts to 32X at 100% crop. Any flaws in the stand, such as shake or sway, are amplified by this level of detail, which I rarely see. The biggest issue with using any macro stand for this type of work is that very minor vibrations are transmitted to the camera body, which can affect sharpness. To put it another way, it's a vibration-sensitive material. Having a free work area is just as important as having a sturdy copy stand. br>br>I like the stand, but I have a few issues with it. To begin with, they could have used more durable plastic around the head that could be adjusted up and down for less money. A small crack is forming on mine, but it hasn't affected my ability to tighten the head yet. Second, the set screw will not tighten when it comes into contact with a hole on the vertical aluminum shaft. This is a pain because it's right next to where I usually set the camera distance. My solution was to add a small platform to the base so that the camera could be positioned precisely. Third, the base plate is only tightened by hand and can become loose over time, so you should check it on a regular basis. in addition to the lock's position so that your camera does not fall. There's also a loose brass screw that causes the base plate to sag when the weight is applied to it. Maintain a tight grip on this! In any case, I use backup straps to keep my camera from falling out of my hands. Finally, where did the $23 come from? Is there a shipping charge of $60? This item can be shipped for a reasonable price. Despite the drawbacks, I am pleased with my purchase.

Good, useful product; cheaper than others, but a little rickety
4/5

The support post's top plastic cover does not fit and was missing from the box. Now it won't fit on the top. It irritates me, but not to the point where I would return it. It would be better if the support pole was a little longer.

For the price, it's adequate
3/5

It's not the most robust, flexible, or durable, but it gets the job done. It has a medium-sized capacity. DSLRs of this size (D70, D5100) are capable of copying prints without difficulty. For heavy-duty applications (such as large professional cameras), You'd have to spend $400-$600 on lenses, heavy-duty gearing, precision adjustment, and vibration resistance. The sum total is $500.

Albinar 28" Copy Macro Stand with High Load To keep it aligned with the base, I believe it would benefit from some kind of restraint
5/5

When it turns, it begins to lean. It's a fantastic deal. It does a great job of supporting my ultra macro rig.

It makes things a whole lot easier
5/5

It's a lot easier to work with micro macros now. It's easier to focus because it's sturdy and doesn't wobble.
