[QUOTE="UniqueDesigns, post: 3086179, member: 17654"]Did I miss any posts that suggested this method, Axial Lighting? I use a copystand with a dedicated 16MP Nikon Point & Shoot I bought used off Ebay for $25. Using high end cameras seems a waste to me. This setup allows me to shoot with other lighting angles to create animated .gifs with multiple frames without moving the coin. Here's one guys' setup explained with the tools he has.
