DIY Wooden Studio Stand?

[plaubel]

Today I started building a simple wooden stand for my 12x16".

I will use a simple construction for camera tilt at first, because I want to use the camera soon :-)

I only use two bars and some wholes in the wood.

This was my first version, with only one bar :



But now, I decided to use two bars:



One bar is fixed at ground of the camera, onto the other bar the camera lies down without fixing.

For tilting, I have to change the wholes for the bar.
It totally will take 3-4 hours to construct .
Later, I will use a better construction.

Cheers,
Ritchie

I didn't see the Folmer & Graflex Laboratory stand' on Flickr.

Was it there?

I have my SC11 at full rack tonight checking out 1-1 with 900 mm lens. First look see at this.

Hi Randy, your right, i never uploaded those pictures. I just created an album titled, "FOLMER GRAFLEX STAND" on my FLICKR page so you can check out the stand. I also included a photocopy of the CENTURY STAND CATALOG that will list all the parts to the actual stand if anyone is interested.
If you know anyone interested in the stand, let me know. I really do not have any use for it at this point in time and it does take up a little bit of space that I can use right now. LOL!

Hi Primo, thank you for sharing your story on how you get that stand. it is a very good price you got it for. Thanks for shraing the photos. It is the most complete set of photos I can find of the stand in its dismantled form.

Things are a bit complicated for me as I am in Singapore. I am not sure is there such stand in Singapore in the first place. So i guess the best bet is to look for one in US and try to ship it over. I will have find a seller who is willing to ship it to my shipper in Portland and then from there it will take a slow sea journey back to Singapore. I am estimating I will need to spend a few hundreds just on shipping cost alone. That is fine if I can find a stand at a good price

I can only imagine. I will keep an eye out for one and let you know what i come up with. I've seen at least 4 or 5 in the last couple of years since I purchased mine. I just uploaded a copy of the original century catalog that will list all the pieces of the stand if your interested in it. Here is the link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ficion...7646953757683/

I have admired F&G Lab Stand. Very pretty and almost useful. Glad it's not closer. One the catalog page I have the Deardorff SC11 and BiPost. It allows for more camera positions, but most of the time I use it dead level...

Thanks for the look see.

I have this sitting in my garage right now and I'd let it go for a fair price if someone could arrange pick-up and their own shipping.

I like the simple tilt function. Do post the photos of the stand here once you are done with it.
