If you hate ballheads with view cameras...

I wonder if it is possible to adjust front swing from the back of the camera? It looks like the pan lock lever could change position when the ball is loosened and adjusted. If so, hopefully it has numerous patents and can't be copied.

I'm a big fan of monorails but that aspect alone makes it a dumb looking camera. It probably needs twin monorails.

Thanks for the clue Frank ... nice idea to use a pan "arca" style head to implement swing and shift on a front standard ...

I'm rebuilding a broken front standard of a Kodak 2D and this approach might fit the bill. Not necessarily "true" to the time but a practical solution for me to give swing and shift to an old camera

This is what happens when MBAs design cameras.

Looks like a nice lightweight camera.
