Beseler CS-14 Overview

The Beseler CS-14 Copy Stand offers reliable Beseler performance, an 18% gray baseboard with grid and magnetic copy hold-down bars, and a unique, adjustable camera platform that facilitates the precise alignment of the optical axis of the camera over the exact center of the baseboard.

Copy positioning is aided by multiple positioning grids, format patterns and reference scales on the baseboard. The camera moves on a single, straight vertical column, aided by a constant force, counterbalanced elevation system. The turn of a knob locks the camera in position at the desired height.

The column is anchored to the 16 x 19" baseboard at four points and accepts any camera up to 5 lb. (2268 g). Maximum recommended copy size is 14 x 14" (356 x 356 mm).

Beseler CS-14 Reviews

Made imaging much easier

By Jack
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-01-22

I had tried to image non-35mm slides and negatives using some other mounting systems (tripods etc.) but when this went on sale, I bought it. I'm very happy I did as it made imaging so much easier. My original concern was how it would work with my rather heavy Nikon D850, a 60mm macro lends and the Nikon slide adapter but I have had no issues.

Just what I was looking for

Quick, easy assembly. Does everything I want it to do. Very sturdy. Great for macro photography.

Are the column and camera mount all metal ?
Asked by: William
The column and camera mount are metal, not aluminum as given in the other answer. This can easily be demonstrated by putting the provided magnetic strips on the column or mount; they will stick, which would not be the case if the column and mount were aluminum.
