Greetings,
I hope all are well
Sorry to ask this but I'm kind of lost on how to support a mammoth camera.
May I ask what would be the best way to support a 50 pound camera that has bellows extension of 1400-1500mm?
I need some sort of system that I can raise and lower the camera on my own, though, setting up would understandably still require an assistant.
As I plan to do studio portraits with the RA4 direct positive reversal process I won't need to move the camera around very much.
Would others be able to help recommend or guide me to a system or setup that will work?
Would a hydraulic lift table work? How would I vertically angle the camera? Perhaps an additional smaller lift mechanisms would work (see photos attached)
Would two of these manual 150lb capacity crank tables work? I like this possible setup as I can raise and lower the front and back so I can get angled studio portraits.
I don't have a lot of money right now, so any solution that is cheap and cheerful is best!
Thanks so much for reading this!
Be well!
