Used Kaiser RS-1 Copy Stand Kit with 40" Counterbalanced Column, RA-1 Arm and 18x20" Grid Baseboard

With the RS-1 Copy Stand Kit, you'll experience a blend of durability, versatility, and professional-grade functionality. This robust system is specifically engineered to accommodate large, heavy cameras, providing the stability and precision necessary for flawless results. Its design minimizes vibration, an essential feature for achieving perfect image reproduction.

The RS-1 features a precise height adjustment system, counterbalanced by an integrated coil spring, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks. The 40" column, constructed from a special wide aluminum tube, is finished in a matte black anodized finish, reducing glare and reflections. It includes both centimeter and inch scales, and a hand crank for easy height adjustment.

The 18x20" grid baseboard, also finished in a glare-free matte black, is marked with a clear grid for easy positioning of your work. It includes a fitted mount for attaching the column to the RA-1 Repro Arm, and an integrated spirit level ensures accurate alignment. The baseboard's feet can be individually adjusted in height, providing additional stability and flexibility.

The RA-1 Repro Arm, a key component of the RS-1 Stand, guarantees secure camera fastening and precise alignment. It can accommodate any camera system, thanks to an easily interchangeable camera screw that can switch between 1/4" and 3/8". The RA-1 Repro Arm also features four centering holes for precise adjustment of optional repro bellows and a graduated stage, ensuring parallel mounting at all times.

Whether you're working with 35mm or medium format cameras, the RS-1 Copy Stand Kit adapts effortlessly. The adjustment device allows for quick changes, positioning the camera so that its bottom is level for 35mm, or using the device as a stop for the side of medium format camera bodies. This adaptability makes the RS-1 an invaluable tool for any professional photographer or studio.
