CS 320 Small Copy Stand/Rostrum 32 CM Max Height

This is a great little copy stand but please bear in mind that 'little' is the operative word, the base is just under a foot (12") square and the height is around the same, if you are photographing small objects/pictures, this is perfect but if you are looking to photograph something that is bigger than A5 you will need a much bigger copy stand. The stand is well constructed and simple to put together, in fact there is nothing to dislike about it as it is very sturdy and well made, just be aware of its size and whether that will fit your requirements, for me it is perfect as I am only photographing old slides and negatives.

Perfect for 35mm negative scanning. My Fuji X-T3 has has plenty of room with a 60mm macro lens. However, you cannot extend it upwards enough to scan 120 film - had I realised I would have bought the medium copy stand instead. Back to the tripod for those negs... Quality is average, to be expected for the price. As others have said, the L bracket is a little on the thin side and does flex somewhat. Use a remote (not cable) and you will be fine. Only 4 stars as the main nut for the upright post was missing - luckily I had one in the junkbox so problem sorted.

Arrived today item seems well made but without the correct bolts I am unable to use it. Box was intact so error must have been made when the item was made.

I'm using the copy stand to "scan" 35mm negatives with a DSLR with a macro lens and this copy stand is rock solid and very well constructed.

Although overall it's not too bad it could greatly be improved if they made the right-angled part that the camera screws onto a bit more robust, it is far too thin in the thickness of it and because of this, it causes the camera to shake at the slightest touch. You would definitely need to use either the camera timer or a remote to trigger the shutter release and make sure nobody walks across the room! Note to the manufacturer, if you do make a thicker part, please send me one and I'll update my review to 5 stars! Speaking as an engineer, even making it a square with 45 degree support pieces instead of a right angle would help it greatly.

Used for accurate stable camera setup for copying 35mm slides and negatives, using a lightbox.

Sturdy but some flex on L bracket when I mount Fuji X-T1 with 7Artisans macro lens - very hard to keep camera perfectly parallel to base. Have ordered a pan head tripod mount to replace. Probably not a problem if you're not doing macro such as film scanning and it can be remedied with a £15 tripod mount so not a deal-breaker.
