This ACTUS-MV View Camera Body with AC-214 Bellows and ACMV-86E Bayonet Mount Kit from Cambo gives you the basics needed to enter the world of large format shooting with your DSLR or mirrorless camera system.
A separately purchased lens plate, lens, and camera body are also required.
Compact, portable, and fully-adjustable, the Cambo ACTUS-MV View Camera Body is compatible with digital backs as well as mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies. Designed to offer all the movements a studio photographer requires, the front and rear standards provide generous and precisely geared movements for rise, fall, and shift application. Additionally, when working with an inclined rail, tilting both the front and rear standards allows you to restore perpendicularity when desired. To position the focus plane, the front standard offers swing and tilt movements in extremely small increments, and a similar mechanism at the rear of the camera body allows for fine focusing. Meanwhile, friction knobs on the left side of the camera can be tightened for unintended camera movements on the rail.
The base configuration of a ACTUS-MV consists of a monorail, front assembly without lensplate, and a rear frame which accepts a camera bayonet holder or digital back frame. Optional bellows can then be added depending on the application.
- For Phase One/Mamiya and the Hasselblad-V interface, optional adapters allow for portrait and landscape rotation.
- The front standard of the Actus-MV accepts all lens plates from the vast Actus range, including medium format adapters, lens plates for X-shutter lenses, and legacy leaf shutter lenses.

Dedicated to the Cambo ACTUS view camera, the AC-214 Long Bellows offers a 7.9" extension and has five pleated folds to benefit working with longer focal length lenses. It is designed for use with the 11.8"-long AC-330 Longer Monorail and can be used to achieve a 1:1 magnification ratio with a 120mm macro lens.
An optional accessory for the ACTUS-MV View Camera Body, this Cambo ACMV-86E Bayonet Holder for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras allows the mounting of bayonets for various mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies to the interchangeable top part of the rear standard of the ACTUS-MV. Additionally, the adapter includes a built-in rotation between landscape and portrait positions.
