Studio Stands, Booms & Tripod Heads
Cambo Studio Stands
Cambo’s range of Studio Stands offer photographers rock solid camera support and reach that cannot be obtained with tripods. Fingertip control using counterweights and smooth vertical movements, geared horizontal shift for precise camera positioning and the ability to lock off the stand when perfect positioning has been achieved; these are the key benefits a high quality studio stand offers. These stands are a must for product photographers looking to get the camera easily positioned for flatlays, eComm/fashion photographers looking for repeatability and secure camera support in a bustling studio, and any other studio environment where precise control and positioning, heavy duty support and security for elevated shooting positions is required.

Cambo MBU-11 / MBU-22
Top of the line, in compact form
Thanks to its large wheels and shorter column the MBU is easy to move between spaces. If necessary, column and base can be separated within minutes, which makes it also a viable solution when you’re commissioned to shoot large series of products at a client’s facilities. The Cambo MBU stand is offered as a complete package. This comprises base, cross arm and camera platform. It’s probably the easiest and most comfortable studio stand to work with and built to last. Both the cross arm’s rotation around the column and the horizontal adjustment move on roller bearings. The vertical adjustment is locked separately from the rotation.
The MBU’s base is a new design. It moves on large wheels which lock at the flip of a central pedal. Thanks to its large footprint and effective brake this will suffice for most applications. If needed (extremely uneven surface, medical applications) additional levelling feet with cranks are available.
Height (column only): 180cm / 240cm
Height (complete with base): 195cm / 225cm
Weight (complete with base): 60kg / 62kg

Cambo Tripod Heads
Cambo’s range of tripod heads offer photographers both geared and ball head options, engineered to the tightest tolerances and designed to support medium format cameras, technical and view camera setups. These are high quality heads that deliver on build quality and performance, both in the studio and out in the field.
Cambo PCF / PCH
Precision Geared Heads
The PCH and PCF geared heads combine the speed of a ball head with the fine-tuning only fully geared heads can offer. That means, while having the flexibility of a ball head you still have complete control over the X, Y, and Z axis allowing for repeatability. The geared movements are self-locking and available in any position of the head. The bottom as well as the top rotate 360°. After levelling, the top rotation can be used for panoramic shooting. The PCF offers the addition of a geared camera platform which the PCH does not, a useful feature when adjustments in extremely fine increments are crucial to your composition.
Cambo PCM
Precise Compact Tripod Head
PCM is a manually controlled tripod head. Precisely position the camera with ease. The PCM makes it tilt, swing and rotate. All movements are controlled separately. Bottom and top plate both feature 360° rotation which makes it suitable for panorama shooting. The longer QR-XL is a useful accessory to enable rotation in the nodal point.
The PCM features a quick release top and comes with a 1/4″ QR plate, which has a safety lock to prevent the camera from turning at the mount. View Cameras with an Arca-Style dove tail – like the Cambo Actus and WRS – mount directly onto the PCM, without the need for a QR plate.
Cambo PCS
Heavy Duty Geared Head
The ideal support for view cameras and other studio gear. This is a fully geared head operated by two cranks, for ease of use and stability. The geared movements are self-locking. The bottom and top plate both feature 360° rotation.
The PCS has an Arca-Style mount. Cameras like the Cambo WRS and Actus mount directly onto it. The PCS comes with a QR plate.
