Copy stands... are useful for amateur photographers who occasionally need a few copy negatives, and also for small microfilming jobs or similar work. This kind of stand is usually an upright column mounted on a copyboard. The camera is attached by means of its tripod socket to an arm-and-collar assembly, which slides up and down the column. A pair of lamps to illuminate the original are also mounted on the column at a suitable distance from the copyboard. 4, record 4, English, - copy%20stand

Les statifs de reproduction sont extrêmement divers : de la table à photocopie en passant par le statif de reproduction à colonnes, jusqu'au modèle spécialisé pour la reproduction photomacrographique. Ce dernier modèle ressemble à s'y méprendre à un trépied auquel on a ajouté diverses composantes pour en améliorer la stabilité et en faciliter l'utilisation. Il peut recevoir plusieurs accessoires tels que dispositif d'éclairage, niveau à bulle, etc. 1, record 4, French, - statif%20de%20reproduction
