Film Copy Stand - Camera Clamp Position End Stop

Film Copy Stand

I was tired of putting together random gear when I wanted to scan some negatives, a tripod here, a tracing light there, and so on... so I decided to build a dedicated copy stand.

My design is based around the excellent Light Source Mini - 97 CRI, from Negative Supply.

I already had a camera and macro lens and an unused tripod head and clamp.

So I started designing and set off to make my dream a reality. I used a piece of wood for the base, and I welded together a post using some scrap plate and a piece of square tube. Everything else is modelled in Fusion and printed in plastic.

Camera Clamp Position End Stop

I regularly switch between scanning 120 and 35mm film. So each time I swap I need to move my camera. I got tired of dialing in the correct location, so I designed this end stop, which fits around the post and has a grub screw (I just use a regular machine screw) hole.

This allows me to find the correct position for my camera for 120 and for 25mm one time and then set it forever.
