Argentum 11x14 camera and a vehicle.

As the camera was made in the USA, the design dimensions would be imperial units (inches, not metric), I will use those to describe it.

Overall measurement is about 14" (about 36cm), although the accuracy of that dimension is not critical. The location of the screws that tighten them onto the tripod block look to be 2-1/2" (62mm?), and as you need it to match the slots from your tripod block you could measure it from them. In its thickest part they seem to be 5/8" thick and taper toward the end. The width is just under 1" (24mm).

I have included a 6" scale in the picture for reference:

Hope that helps,

I made a set of these for my 8x20. They are easy to make and give great added support.

That looks like the perfect vehicle!
though perhaps difficult to adjust the front of the camera... do you carry a stool too?

Hi Vemo, Love that front loading bike, hope this is not too far off topic but who makes it?

[vemo]

Hi furgocito, the bike is a Nihola. Made in Denmark.

[Steven Tribe]

Nihola is the Rolls Royce of this kind of cargo/kid transport, but there are many competitors! Up to 100 kilos up front. The link shows Royal use in Denmark!

Jim,

Indeed they make a big difference with my 8x20 Korona Panoramic View, and stiffen it up a great deal.

As I know you build your own cameras but for clarity, is your comment in reference to one of your own builds, or to a store bought camera (even if the initial transaction took place many years ago, like my Korona did, likely in the 1930's)?

Curious minds want to know,
