Questions & Answers
I haven't tried it, but yes, you can physically connect your camera to the side, up, or down.
Yes, you manually lift/lower the plate by pressing it. If you require extremely fine adjustments, it appears that you intend to photograph a very small object and stack the images. You won't be able to take those precise incremental steps with this device because you lack control. You can, however, place your object on an X-ray machine after setting the copy stand and camera in one position. Move the Z stage in tiny increments.
Yes, but only from that vantage point. It's fantastic!
No, you won't be able to use a bracket, but it is a very solid setup. I use mine to digitize my negatives on a regular basis.
Selected User Reviews For CS36-36"" Pro-Duty Copy Stand
I'm using a Canon 5D Mk II, and the flex in the plastic carriage prevents the camera from remaining orthogonal to the base plate. I used a bungie cord to help keep the camera straight (though it's still not orthogonal). Because the carriage does not stay in place, I must use a clamp to keep it from moving on the column. Because my camera is heavy, I followed the instructions and removed the carriage extender.
The copy stand is easy to put together with only four screws. This was required for an unusual circumstance: I need to edit and digitize a large collection of fifty-year-old black-and-white negatives. They were stored in file pages, so I'm photographing the negatives by placing the pages on a lightbox. After that, on my laptop, the images are reversed. br>By allowing you to adjust the copy stand with one hand while looking through the viewfinder of the mounted camera, you can speed up the process.
This is a fantastic piece of writing. designed and executed flawlessly I'm using it with a Fuji X100F camera and VueScan software to photograph hundreds of rolls of color negative film to make printed contact sheets. This copy stand is essential to the project; I considered other models that were less expensive, but chose this one due to its apparent build quality, and I am very happy with my decision.
This is a sturdy stand! The mechanism's sturdiness has me very impressed. The plastic part that connects the camera to the stand should really be metal, but overall, it's a good setup.
It appears to be sturdy enough, but only time will tell.
Negative digitization has never been easier.
