Can anyone Please tell Me all the original dimensions of the Calumet/Orbit 8x10 C1 dark cloth wire support. I have 2 C-1 cameras with none so I was going to make some to use myself.
Any other info would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks,

will, I just took a piece of wire that fit, bent it almost 90 degrees (slanting upward slightly) out about a foot, 90, 90 about 12 or 13" then the same as above. it shouldn't be that hard to figure out with a few pieces of 1/8" or 3/32" steel wire.

I have a C-1 but I use the BTZS cloth and it has an elastic end that goes around the camera back. I think the C-1 has two clips at the top of the back for holding the cloth.
The documents also mention a wire frame that slides into these clips and holds the cloth up like a tent. I didn't get this with my C-1.
Here is a link that may help. This site is great for documentation for many cameras and lenses.

I used hardened spring wire you can buy in any hobby store. Dark cloth is heavy for welding rod. Wire is easily bend in a wise and small "sledgy "hammer.
Hope this helps Greg
Hi all,
here I was going to thread those holes for thumb-screws and run tension rods to the front standard, never thought of a focus-cloth tent.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks Chris, That is exactly what I needed.
Thank You to the rest for all the input.
I have 2 NEW (scrap) long stainless steel (base loaded mirror mount) CB antenna rods (with only a slight taper) that I was planing to use. I think that they are much longer than I need so I was going to use the thicker end. By doing this I think the taper will not even be noticeable. Most likely I will have to use a torch to bend it or at least to reduce the stress at the bend.

I need one also and was going to thread the holes, I will have to look again at it and decide what to do.
