Modular repro stand "Copy Stand" MK2 for DSLR & DSLM film scanning

• Tilting-free up to 1.5 kg. The aluminum profile sits flush in a 20 mm screen-printed board – CNC milled, four M6 threaded inserts. Not screwed on, recessed. From about 1.9 kg total load on the arm, the profile bends slightly. Scanning is still possible but noticeably at the limit. Not designed for heavy-duty setups with bellows, macro rails, and heavy ball heads.
• Assembly and disassembly without tools. Two Fast-Lock clamps secure the profile in seconds. Then disassemble and store under the desk.
• 3/8" thread – your tripod head fits. Professional standard, more durable than 1/4-20. Compatible with all common ball heads and adapter plates.
• 35 mm up to 4×5 large format. 56 cm usable camera height is enough for 35 mm with any macro lens and 120 roll film up to ~100 mm focal length. The 32×32 cm base plate is also stable with large negative holders.
• Modular system. Compatible with the Film Scanner Holder (negative holder for 35 mm, 120, 110, Minox) and light sources like the CineStill CS-LITE.

• Base plate 32×32 cm (20 mm screen-printed board) with 4 rubber feet
• Aluminum profile 30×30 mm, 60 cm
• Camera mount with 3/8" tripod thread
• 2× Fast-Lock quick-release clamps + end cap + mounting hardware (M6 screws + Allen key)

The Copy Stand is our repro stand for photographers who scan negatives and slides with a digital camera. The core is the base plate: 20 mm screen-printed board – the same material used in trade fair construction for load-bearing floors. The CNC recess and four M6 threaded inserts ensure that the profile does not tilt or shift under load. Instead of a fixed camera head, the profile has a 3/8" mount – you use your own tripod head and keep full control over fine adjustment and positioning.

The copy stand is the foundation of our film scanning system. Complete it with a negative holder from the Film Scanner Holder System and a light source for a complete scanning workflow.

Which film format you can scan depends on the lens focal length. Overview for full-frame sensors at 56 cm camera height:

✅ = Comfortably scannable | ⚠️ = Borderline area | ❌ = Not fully coverable. With APS-C, the scannable area decreases due to the crop factor.
