Just finished an all options included 12 x 15 to go to Germany. I did the front standard a little different to save on weight and total mass of the thing.

Rise/fall lensboard, swing and tilt on rear standard.



Got more info on it on the web page for it TyGuillory.com

Really a nice job Ty!

How do you work tripod attachment on a camera this size?

Ray, I put an insert under the front part of the camera, then another insert under the folding rails. A platform type tripod is the only option for a camera like this, and by drilling through the platform at those two spots, you have two anchor points to use a threaded knob.

My only problem with really big cameras is when Im making one, and have the bellows in, if I leave the back door open...next morning there will be a cat inside it, sleeping in the bellows.
