w/- Cambo ACTUS-MV View Camera Body, AC-214 Long Bellows for ACTUS-MV, AC-786E ACTUS Bayonet kit for Sony E mount, ACB-RZ Lens Plate for RB/RZ Bayonet mount, ACMV-865 Bayonet Holder for Hasselbad X1D/X2D, ACMV-86E Bayonet Holder for DSLR/Mirrorless,
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.

Bayonet kits (Sony/Mamiya/DSLR/Hasselblad)

Dedicated to the Cambo ACTUS view camera body, this ACB-RZ Lensplate enables the use of Mamiya RB/RZ-mount lenses in order to use perspective control movements with digital cameras. Featuring a proprietary forked design, along with an anodized black finish that matches the camera body, this plate slides into the front standard and attaches to the bellows for operation. Mamiya RB/RZ lenses will maintain infinity focus with both mirrorless and DSLR cameras, and a manual aperture ring on the lens is required for aperture control.
