The advanced design Blackbird camera stage has adjustment knobs for precise x-y positioning of the camera allowing easy camera leveling that is comparable to stages on equipment costing many times more. Low backlash screw drives combined with precision internal dovetail guides ensure rock solid camera positioning that doesn’t shift in use. Built in tilt and roll bubble levels provide helpful indication of camera horizontal plane position during horizontal balancing.
The camera is first attached to the dovetail mounting plate which has a durable friction pad that provides secure camera mounting with or without use of the camera locating pin provided. Then the camera mounting plate drops into the Blackbird camera stage and is securely locked down with a thumb screw clamp. The camera mounting plate can be slid forward or back to provide additional front to back level adjustment and engages a safety pin to prevent sliding off the stage during adjustment.
