Thoughts on the “tailboard” design for 8x10?

[Drew Bedo]

Just to be clear, the camera I’ve seen does fold :

You push the rear standard all the way against the front standard, and then the rail/bed folds up.
That’s the part of the design that makes me fear the back standard might not be very stable.
On the other hand on the video shared by Tin Can the camera looks sturdy enough.

I am sorry . . .What are we talking about? What dies the term, "tailboard camera" mean in the context of this thread?

I am satisfied that my Kodak 2D is "sturdy enough" for the photography that I do. It is definitely less rigid than a geared rail camera.
