I considered doing something like that tilting head, in fact it was the only simple way I could think of until I saw the other design. I'll try it out. Looks easy enough. Thanks for the info!
Regarding the lensboard, I think it's 5"x5", but that's an Industar 37 you see on there. Not a tiny lens. I have a 6.5" cinephor on my 4x5 camera and it's quite a bit larger diameter than the Industar-37, but it would still fit on this lensboard.
It seems like almost anything that doesn't have a giant flange on it will fit. And I've definitely seen some period lenses with giant flanges, but I aint shelling out the $$$ for them. Long story short, I considered the size of the lensboard, and figured this was plenty big for any lenses I'd likely be buying.
Industar-37:
By the way, that tripod does have adjustable legs. I just caught that maybe you're thinking it doesn't.
