Cambo Wide RS 1200

For those looking for something a little more compact and lighter than the Wide RS 5000, but still require the image-placement shift movements, the Cambo Wide RS 1200 is the perfect choice. Whether you use it on a tripod or hand-held for more spontaneous shooting, the Wide RS camera will open up new photographic possibilities for you.

This exciting member of the Cambo Wide family features both lateral and vertical shift movements of the rear image plane. These precise and accelerated spindle movements (which create 5mm of movement per revolution) provide architectural photographers with the movements they require and give landscape photographers the ability to create amazing vertical and horizontal panoramic images through stitching several exposures together.
