<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3085527, member: 36230&quot;]There&#039;s an old Pentax Copipod on goodwill and ending very soon that might work with a little playing and if on a budget. It&#039;s basically a four-leg tripod that allows a camera to be mounted via a lens&#039; filter threads pointing directly down. It&#039;s probably not the best option though.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you care to search past threads there are different examples of copystands folks have built. After selling my film equipment some years prior, I put one together using an old tripod head, paper cutting board, and maybe $15 worth of stuff from a hardware store that worked splendidly with a camera similar to yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another option may be to consider using an old enlarger especially since they can ofte be had for next to nothing these days. Buying an actual copystand is certainly an alternative, but can get rather costly for nicer versions. However, it&#039;s also very possible that the Chinese make something that would work well and is cheap. Still, a tripod should work fine as long as careful and if not shooting many coins each day. Equipment can get very expensive rather quickly, especially if buying what we want instead of just what we need, so if money is an issue just be sure to do your homework and weigh all options.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
