Optimised for Scanning

Unlike a tripod, which is meant to point your camera at a subject in front of you, the scanning stand points your camera down at the desk where you will place your film holder. From here, you can easily regulate the height by sliding the head up and down the rail of the stand instead of being forced to re-adjust the legs of a tripod - this makes it much quicker to set up and get scanning with than a traditional tripod.

A Camera Head Designed for Scanning and Ergonomics

The head of our stand is custom made and especially designed for the task of scanning. The shape of it supports the camera sturdily while providing a wide front, covered in a rubber material, that grips onto the base of the camera to keep it from swinging. The wider front also allows for a large, custom made for this stand, 40mm diameter tripod screw and for your hands to tighten it to tighten it with ease. 

Compatibility

The chart below will tell you if you need the extension or not (assuming you scan 120 film - if you only scan 35mm film, you never need the extension for normal focal length lenses). The compatibility is based on our judgement of if the stand is stable enough or not.

* This setup is pushing the limit of what we recommend for the stand. You may have to be more patient and more careful if using this stand with this setup. Failing to do this can result in blurry pictures. If you are unsure - get in touch at hello@valoi.co

Cosmetic condition: The metal parts on this product may contain small scratches or scuffs due to the manufacturing and shipping of it. This is normal and has no impact on function - we will not replace parts with minor cosmetic damage.
