Hi all.
Ok, I have a 5D3, with all sorts of L lenses.
I am using Arca Swiss plates on the camera, and have RRS tripod and clamp mounts.
While this serves me very well for most shooting....I"m needing to set up to take some top down shots and I just don't have what it takes on my regular tripod.
I need to lock the camera down, looking downward facing, for some shots that will likely be done for compositing....macro stuff with focus stacking, and more often than that...moving my flash sources around for different highlights and exposures around the object(s) in question.
What can ya'll recommend for this?
I have a couple of decent C-Stands and thought I'd seen some YouTube videos awhile back, using those for stuff like this.
Does anyone have experience with this? If so, what types/names or clamps and C-Stand adaptors are available for this?
I can hook my camera up tethered and have a remote so that once I lock it in I can go without touching the camera.
Does anyone else shoot with RRS tripods and clamps...arca Swiss stuff....and have suggestions for modifiers for this set up to enable a horizontal arm to come off it to attach a camera with some weight (plus lens) to hover over vertical for shooting below it on a table?
I've gotten such great advice in the past here on previous questions, hope ya''ll can give some advice, anecdotal experience and links to info on this.
Thank you all so much in advance!!
