Professional Copy Stand Kit
The Kaiser RSX Copy Stand Kit delivers a stable platform for precise tabletop photography and document reproduction. Its 20x24 inch grid baseboard features individual leg adjustments to ensure a level surface on uneven tables. The 50 inch counterbalanced column supports heavy cameras with smooth rack-and-pinion height adjustment. Integrated scales and a spirit level aid accurate composition for studio and archive workflows.
Vibration-Free Operation
The matte black anodized column uses an internal coil spring to counterbalance camera weight, eliminating drift during long exposures. Rack-and-pinion gearing provides fine height control without sudden drops that disturb lighting setups. Non-reflective baseboard finish prevents glare from contaminating copy work. Individual foot adjustment maintains stability without shims, keeping the platform steady during multi-shot sequences.
Upgrade From Basic Stands
This kit replaces entry-level copy stands that lack counterbalance, precise scales, or a grid-marked baseboard. The jump is worth it when shooting heavy medium-format cameras, capturing large documents at 50 inch column height, or requiring repeatable positioning for focus stacking. It is not suited for buyers needing motorised column movement, automated focus rails, or a larger baseboard area for oversized originals.

Questions about this item
How do I install the RTX arm on the 50" counterbalanced column and what step is often missed?
Mount the RTX arm onto the column's rack-and-pinion track, then engage the integrated coil spring for weight compensation; the step often missed is adjusting the spring tension to match your specific camera weight before locking the arm in place.
What maintenance will the 20x24" grid baseboard and column need over time?
Periodically check and tighten the individual leg adjustments on the baseboard to maintain a level platform, and lubricate the rack-and-pinion mechanism on the 50" column to ensure smooth height adjustment continues.
What limit appears first when using the copy stand continuously with a heavy camera?
The counterbalance spring tension on the 50" column will reach its effective limit first, requiring re-adjustment if the camera weight shifts or after extended periods of frequent height changes.
