Product Description

CAMERA/SMARTPHONE vs. SCANNER No More Scan! Now is the time to digitize your photo or documents with your camera or smartphone instead of a scanner. The scanner has been used to create digital files from documents or pictures, but if you want a fine, high-quality scan, your high-resolution digital camera or phone creates a good-quality copy, print, or video. This system is used by museums, libraries, the film & TV industry, video and content creators, PowerPoint, public presenters, documentaries, restoration experts, and sign and graphic shops; Our Copy Stands are available in 4 models. The Mini 100 & Mini 700 Copy Stands are designed for smartphones only and the new Mini 300 cameras and phones. All our Copy Stands have a Floating Magnetic Board to keep the documents or photos flat for transferring. Cosmo Mini Copy Stands are small, portable, and the best gift for photography lovers. For macro photography or copying the slides or negatives, you may need to add a lightbox and macro lens or a set of "Close-up Lens" to the front lens of your camera (available on Amazon). For more information about digitizing slides & negatives, you can check the “Convert Old Slides and Negatives to Digital Images with Your Camera” on social media. Also, it is ideal for students’ art schools and jewelry and coin sellers for an online live show. Integrating a remote camera shutter will ensure a perfect and steady shot.

This is a good choice for a small format copy stand. The parts are of excellent quality and assembly is simple. I recommend that buyers purchase a small circular level to help adjust cameras and phones to be perpendicular to the base. I have a Photomyne light panel that sits nicely on the platform. I had to build a raised platform of 4" with a piece of frame glass and wood to get the right distance for smartphone slide copying to focus, but that was easy and could have been done with other materials. I am happy with the purchase.

The L support angle (the one that holds the camera) is made from 3/16" steel. It should be a little thicker, I would suggest moving-up to 1/4", since it it not sturdy enough and moves slightly when accessing the camera controls, including manual focusing. It will not move if you use the camera's timed shutter or an external camera release. I tried it with another L-bracket and it was perfect. Otherwise, a good product, well made and easy to use.

It is very nice. I had a little trouble assembling it as I had one or two screw parts reversed on the main pole, but after correcting it it is very stable. It supports my Lumix FZ1000 easily. It has a nice magnetic grid and holder strips for centering your photos and your camera. I taped the grid down on the main board so it wouldn't keep shifting. It is worth the price.

For the price is excellent, but keep in mind that it will bend a bit. I'm using it to digitize my negatives with the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujinon 80mm Macro. So I bought two other accessories on Amazon, a rail to extend the arm and a Z mount to compensate for the inclination, both fairly cheap, so I'm still paying less than I would be buying other copy stands.

Update 12/16/2019:
This isn't going to work. I've quite an assortment of photo/video plates, ball-joints, etc and nothing really worked (I bought three more pieces trying to come up with a solution that makes this thing stable enough for my liking but it just isn't. It all comes down to the L-bracket that's just not thick or reinforced enough. The only solution that worked was a rigging clamp attached to the stand's main pole, taking the L-bracket out of the equation entirely, but that's ridiculous and not what I paid for. It's going back - close but no cigar.

Original Review 12-10-2019:
It's not bad. I'm sure it's fine for casual use but I was attracted to this for DSLR negative scanning and to be quite frank it's been a headache. The L bracket is not thick enough and it flexes from the cantilever weighted force of simply having a camera mounted to it. How much it flexes depends on the camera, whether the bracket is inverted or not, and where it is positioned vertically along the run. Because of this the camera will cant inward or outward (depending) and is rarely level. A quality tripod ball head is the answer the problem, but A) a cheap one will not hold securely, and B) a quality one adds even more weight in addition to extending the camera's lens nearly to the edge of the base, so that doesn't work.
My solution has simply been to add a shim between the camera and mount (I'm using a Manfrotto quick-release) to make up for the cant and relevel the camre.... the problem there is that the thickness of whatever shim I'm using has to vary because the canting isn't the same throughout the range (I hope this is making sense).
Long story short, as I said before, it's been a huge pain. I'm sure it's fine for quick digitizing fo photographs if you're not concerned about true quality of the final "scan", but for negative and slide scanning the design doesn't quite work, unless you're willing to dial everything in for 5 - 10 minutes each and everytime you want to scan, or if you decide you want to scan a differently sized film format.
Finally the cheap retaining clip that keeps the two cheap plastic washer in place on either side of the red-handled screw attachment has popped off EACH.AND.EVERY.TIME that I've removed a tripod mount or camera from it. I'm completely amazed that I've found it each time it's gone flying. That sort of clip implementation is fine for something you don't intend to remove or only remove very infrequently, but for this application it's a bit ridiculous.
Mine is likely going back. If the metal L-bracket had just been made of metal thick and strong enough to flex from the weight of a camera (you'd think this was obvious since that's what it's for) it'd be easy to get around the other barebones shortcomings of this stand. But that isn't the case here.
