Precise Z-axis adjustment in the field?
Is there any equipment available that allows you to precisely adjust the height of the camera when it is mounted on a tripod? Sometimes, this would be really nice when doing macrophotography in the field...
Hallo Niels,
I use something similair to this: http://www.cameranu.nl/nl/statieven-en- ... 624_145744
Not very useful for extreme macro but for low mag 1:1 stacking in the field it works like a charm.

I believe he wants to raise/lower his camera for framing, not step his camera toward the subject.canonian wrote:Hallo Niels,

Something along the lines of http://www.edmundoptics.com/optomechani ... sitioners/
there are tripods with a crank lever on the middle column.
