Hi to all members. I have recently bought a 4x5 conley in a perfect condition. it came with a leather box and 5 original film holders. I have one concern with using my regular tripod Bogen 3023. Although screw fits it feels like the front belows needs more support (it actually has a screw hole ) to take pressure off of the hinges. I designed a wooden plate with all kinds of improvisations but since I don't have a workshop for such fine carpentery, I wonder if there are any old tripods designed for this cameras, or if anyone hasz a better idea for me. I also wonder if anyone knows what are the metal parts made of and what wood is used for these models so I can figure the best way to maintain its condition for another hundred years ! Excuse my spelling, I'm not native speaker and my dictionary is not here...
