Jewelry photography or small object photography is fun and easy with the ALZO Copy Stand. This Macro Tabletop Studio device is ideal for overhead (close-up) imaging of very small or flat objects like jewelry, coins, stamps, medication, and scientific work. The sturdy tilt angled aluminum camera support post is 29 inches high and has a 19-inch x 16-inch laminated solid composite base with white melamine finish.
The camera attaches to the support arm with a quick release plate, and the side wheel drives a rack and pinion for accurate dialing of the adjustable height. The screw below the quick release plate adjusts the drag resistance of the camera support (see image with screwdriver). There is a position locking thumb screw on the back of the height adjuster.
The solid and heavy-duty construction makes the ALZO Copy Stand for Macro Tabletop Studio a stable shooting system for professional commercial product photography of jewelry and small objects.
We recommend reading our close up photography information page to familiarize yourself with the common camera accessories used in macro close-up photography.
In the two weeks that I've used the copy stand, it has proven to be sturdy. My only complaint is that the Manfrotto-like quick release, is incompatible with any QR system I am aware of. A Manfrotto QR plate will lock into the clamp, but does it so loosely, the camera cannot be secured to the arm of the copy stand without rattling around. My desire would be to adopt an Arca-Swiss OR system like mostf photographers have. At some point I'm going to replace Alzo's QR clamp with something better. It would also be nice to have finer controls to adjust the camera's position to bring the camera perpendicular to the table.
Overall though, I find this copy stand a much better option than others I had seen on the market, and far better than trying to use a tripod.
Quick thanks to Ken and Alzo Digital for the help and support. I had a small issue with my purchase which Ken took care of immediately. As I had written to him at the time....'this is a product I love'. In reading some of the other reviews, I'm also using this for DSLR negative 'scanning'. It's PERFECT. Prior to finding the Alzo macro table, I had a heavy duty tripod and head, over a table. The footprint was cumbersome to say the least. This fits on my workbench neatly, allows for adjustments to happen easily and comfortably--- and frees up the floor from the tripod.
In my setup, I've added a small Manfrotto ballhead for an added layer of leveling, and I have a Nikon D800 with 105mm Micro lens. The support has no issues with that setup, although best practice is to always have a hand on the camera for support when the lockdown is loose and you are adjusting the height.
I can't recommend this product enough.
I am quite pleased with this copy stand and can highly recommend it. I purchased it after comparing several others. I use it for eBay auction products and copy work. I would definitely purchased other fine products like this in the Future. A fine investment!
I really could not be more pleased with this stand. The price is fair and the quality is perfect. I discovered that I could slightly adjust screws behind the camera mount to help level and square my camera to the board for scanning film.
I use this stand to hold my camera with a macro lens and take pictures of both positive and negative film. I shoot tethered from my laptop with a very good results. The stand is very stable and easy to move the camera mount in very small increments. very pleased, exactly what I was looking for.
