<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1478803, member: 112&quot;]The problem I have found with copy stands is that they only allow the camera to be at 1 set angle - straight down. That is why I always much preferred a table top tripod, such as the one I linked to, which only cost about $15 by the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the advantage of the tripod is that they allow you to change the angle of the camera to the coin you are trying to photograph. And often, when trying to capture luster and or color you need to be able to do that. Changing the angle of the camera to the coin by even 1 or 2 degrees often produces success where you always found failure with a straight up and down angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the tripods are much more versatile, more compact for storage and travel, lighter, and most often cheaper than any copy stand. And they also allow you to use your camera for other purposes besides taking pictures of your coins. Try to set up a camera on a copy stand to take family photographs for example - it&#039;s gonna be just a tad awkward to say the least. With the tripod, piece of cake <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
