Swing mod on Pacemaker Speed

[Jbuck]

hello!
Im considering making a swing mod on my Pacemaker, but a friend told me that this will def. make the front standard unstable..
i mostly use large & heavy lenses on it... so im wondering if anyone had any experiences with front swing making the front standard unstable.

thanks alot!

Turn the camera on its side and use tilt?

[Jbuck]

my aim is to use tilt in portrait position

Back in the early 2Ks View Camera magazine ran two articles on swing and tilt mods.

I modified mine. Used with infinity stops, it works fine. The stops ensure neutral swing for most situations, and the standard lockdown secures everything in place when using swing. Swing though is crude. I would be cautious with really heavy lenses, like the aero ektar.

It works fine if you do it right. Once locked down it is as stable as my non modified one.

Modifying for 2 way tilt as in those articles is quite easy to do.
