hey, one safety tip, remove the rail clamp and put the rail on so that the standards are each side of the clamp, makes the rig a little more balanced, so you can tip the head forward, without the rig falling to one side.
As a person who has been using and owning these types of cameras for decades, your descriptions of the movements possible with these monorail cameras, were very succinct. This is a rare thing, keep it up. I only use film, but your description of the digital camera body, including showing what settings to use; was enlightening. I did learn a few things and I never knew digital cameras had a time setting "T". Always learning.
one tip, when moving the standards, HOLD the cameras fixed parts, and pinch the standard with the fingers, this HOLDS the part still so you can move it in a controlled way, ie for the tilt, loosen, pinch top, push on the bottom, so you 'flick' out of the detent slowly, and move under control; one hands' fingers push to initiate the move, the other hand restrains the standard from going too far.
also I have noticed all that rail in front of the lens, you should get that back, to the rear, as it is likely to be in the shot!- esp. if using a wide angle lens, this does mean you have to focus with the rear standard, but it is not all that hard.
HI the video is very iteresting , so as from my understaning you have attached a digit camera to cambo for joining the possibility of movements obtained with the view camera and recordered to a digital support , but how did you make the focus and so on exactly ??? thanks for clarifying
The main focus adjustment that determines whether to focus close up or far away is done by rolling the body of the digital camera closer or further away from the front of the Cambo. You can think of the entire Cambo as the lens in this case. So when the rear support (aka standard) is rolled forward or backward, focus is being adjusted. All the other movements demonstrated (twisting, tilting, etc.) also adjust focus but in a very different way than you may be used to.
Hello Chloe. Thanks for you interesting insights. I was wondering what back plate Fuji GFX adapter you used and where can it be purchased. Thank you very much!

I hope you do more videos. Great easy going presentation.
6:42 Hi, Patricia! 👋
Great explainer on the Cambo SC II. Recently purchase on and really debating on whether I should get deeper into large format.
Awesome video and quite informative👍
Very good video, I hope to see more. Keep it up.

Thanks very great and well made video. Could you put the links of the equipment separately, especially for the fuji adaptator ? THanks a lot !
капец ты ее установила конечно))))) ладно хоть это все не навернулось)))
Thanks for a great video. What lens are you using? 210mm?

great video, now explain the film holders, loading them and putting a sheet of film in the camera!, then the video is complete.
I would like to see how you focus your subject completely. Not selective focus.
