Will this work to mount a camera securely on a copy stand set-up, with the lens pointing straight-down?

It should work since the clamp holds the plate attached to the camera securely. Obviously, you also need a matching Arca-swiss style plate attached to your camera body that's compatible with the clamp (such as a P-50 or P-70).

This is a secure Arca Swiss compatible type mount which I use on a monopod. If it can securely attached to the stand it will do a good job

This will hold your camera securely to this clamp, as I mount a D3 with 300mm lens to a monopod and have no fear of it falling out with the set screws. If your copy-stand rig is sturdy enough this clamp will not be the weak link in the set up.

Absolutely , this is a great Arca-Swiss type clamp. If properly tighten it won't slide forward or backward. And of course it is not going down with the lens pointed down.

I would think that it does...But then again, I have not tried this myself..It also depends totally on how heavy your gear is.I'm not professional so my gear doesn't get that heavy so it would hold as far as I know.

I have used it with an Olympus E-510 with the Zuiko 14-42 mm lens. This is a very light kit. I don't know how well it would work with a FF camera and heavy lens.

it worked for me but i had to make minor adjustments account it is not perfectly centered. i also would suggest using cinema lens and follow focus on a steady tripod with this setup. it does make for a very professional "looking" setup if your concerned about this as well.

It works with any sort of camera with a traditional screw thread on the bottom. The problem is weight. Make sure that you're not putting an extremely heavy camera on it--over the years this rig got worn out, and on the set of my last feature film it fractured and I broke a lens. I would go with a better mount than this--Cowboy Studio makes another blue fold-out shoulder mount that it much more rugged and worth the investment.

I'm 90% sure it will. The metal ring fits around the lens and sticks via adhesive. When you want to use a lens it holds on magnetically.

I've gotten it to mount on an older tripod I had laying around. The little stand and the hotshoe provided in the package have the standard 1/4" screw socket that most cameras have as well. I've used it to screw it onto the little tripod platform attachment.

Yes. Tripod does allow camera to point straight down (and straight up) nearly 360 with the exception of when pointing down, where the camera lens lines up with elevation lock screw or when pointing up, where handle lines up with tripod leg.

Yes, just make sure it is secured, I have used this tripod to support my Canon power shoot, and Canon T5i and couple of my Canon film cameras with no issues.

It should unless you have some kind of an attachment to your camera that would protrude below the plane of the tripod mount. Any kind of protrusion might keep you from going to a full 90 degree orientation with your camera. Other than that, it should work fine.

It is possible that it could work but maybe you would have to use alot of weights to balance it. I cant say for sure if it will. I have only used my canon t3i with standard lens on it and only 2 weights. I have ALOT more weights left for heavier cameras.

My guess would be 'yes' as this tripod has a standard size 35mm camera mounting screw (¼"?).

Yes, I attached mine and it is very secure. I use it with a Canon 500mm so it certainly handles the weight.

My guess would be 'yes' as this tripod has a standard size 35mm camera mounting screw ("?).

Hi David. I'm sorry but I'm not sure, although - since the mounts are the same - I think that it should. There might be vignetting issues, but those are fixable in-camera. Please contact Fotodiox, I'm sure they can give you a proper answer...Stan.

It's a standard post on the bottom. So I don't see why it would not. I use a Canon 5d.

That one still looks fairly compact, so more than likely it would work. The camera looks like the weight would be centered over the tripod mount fairly well, so at least for straight shots on flat-ish surfaces it should work. Smaller cameras will have a larger tilt range because you have less weight away from the mounting point.

While I can't say with 100% certainty, I can't foresee a reason why this set up wouldn't work for that. This answer is based on the consideration of the durability of the product and the adjustable shoe mount width. I would assume that anything that attaches to your camera could attach to this mount. I would actually trust this mount with more weight than I would attach to my camera.

I am going to contradict the others and say no it will not "work". In my opinion this ball head is too small for that camera and lenses and would not recommend it in this situation. This ball head is sturdy and well built, but I think the surface area on the ball where it locks is too small for a camera like that which will have a lot more leverage against the lock. I would suggest moving up to something that can handle 10 or more pounds to be safe.
