<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3804867, member: 19463&quot;]I understand the desire not to spend big money on a camera support.&nbsp; That is part of the reason I built mine from lumber left over from other projects.&nbsp; The other, better reason is that a wood rack is a lot more stable than nearly any spindly tripod or copy stand on the market.&nbsp; What you build, measurements and the design depend on the camera and size range of coins you shoot.&nbsp; Below is my first digital camera on a very stable stand where half the cost was the bolt that attaches the camera to the wood and the one wood screw that holds it together.</p><p><img src="https://pbase.com/dougsmit/image/127039910.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My current camera weighs ten times what this one does so the stand is much more complex and expensive (maybe $5 in wood and a couple dollars in screws).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I know the coin is modern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
