Designed for re-photographing and copying prints, documents, flat art, and other objects, the 42" Pro-Duty Copy Stand from Smith-Victor features a matte 18% neutral gray 23.5 x 23.5" baseboard that is ideal for photographing items up to 16 x 20" in size. The baseboard also has a printed grid to aid in accurately and consistently aligning objects in the same place. The 42"-tall extruded anodized aluminum alloy column has been designed to limit vibrations and it features scaled index marks for consistency in height placement. The carriage to hold the camera system has a 1/4"-20 tripod mount, is rated to hold camera and lens combinations up to 8 lb, and it incorporates a quick-slide, self-locking lever mechanism to alleviate the need for additional cranks or tightening knobs to securely adjust the shooting height.
