<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 3355885, member: 17469"]I've been shooting coin photos off my tripod for a couple years, but recently picked up a new toy, a copy stand from Ray (rmpsrpms here on CT). It's going to be quite the setup I think, though I've only shot half a dozen coins on it at this point.

The $700 cost probably isn't for everyone, but for me it was worth it as I was pricing and figuring out how to build this kind of setup anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]888676[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A huge advantage for me is being able to set this right on the desk next to me, instead of the bulky tripod setup I had.
