Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
hey..I had one of those stands...two of them actually
picked them up at a camera swap meet - dang near broke my back getting them into the car
they didn't have a head..but I managed to mount a Quick Set head on one and used it a bit
meh: didn't fit my shooting style at the time - so I dumped them pretty cheap.. buck and a quarter each I think

Everything I need.
Yes, very handy indeed. Great idea!
I keep wanting to get the 90 degree SLR mirror rig.
I also have too many Studio cameras, and right now I am dragging in 3 Elwood enlargers.
I cannot say no to a woman or camera...
OK this would have to be the camera I'm most curious about .I would say I'd love to own this big beauty but I have way to many studio cameras not being used as is. That said, I have a hard time saying no so if one found it's way to my house (like many have) I would not turn her away.
One thing I find interesting about this big baluka is it has a dummy lens and mirror arrangement so the photographer looked as if he /she was shooting mom with the front facing dummy lens All the while the child's image is being captured by the cameras actual taking lens 90 degrees the other direction.
Here's a link to a 1909 Professional Eastman Catalog that has this short lived studio camera. After all it was $550 bucks in 1909 and only delivered a 5x7 neg or 2x 2 1/2 x3 1/2 w/ built in splitter .

a phillips compact ii in whole plate format made out of titanium and ABS plastic. one day, i'll learn how to make it myself!
No need for titanium and ABS (both add weight). Just shrink my 8x10 Compact II to 6-1/2 x 8-1/2 using the same materials Dick used.
Oh, and shrink my 8x10 Fidelity holders too.
Mmm,
Pictures are so nice. Great camera, with film costs 1/2 of 8X10!
Wisner 4x10 for landscape work.

Not really:
I make 4x10s on my V8, using a divider board. Two images on one sheet. I also make 5x8s.
