Key Features for Uncompromising Performance

Experience a new level of control and convenience with a feature set designed for the discerning professional. Every aspect of the RT1 is built to enhance your creative and technical capabilities.
* Two camera mounting points with a non-slip surface provide secure attachment for both landscape and portrait formats, offering versatile orientation without compromising stability.
* Mounting the camera on the inside of the camera carrier for landscape format produces images which are not upside-down. This is very convenient for comic, animation and stop-motion films, as it allows for direct, intuitive monitoring and composition.
* A parallel guide makes the camera platform longitudinally adjustable, and it can be locked in any position. This allows for precise front-to-back positioning to perfectly frame your subject.
* The entire copy and titling arm is tiltable to allow for reproduction of vertical subjects, such as documents or artwork mounted on a wall or easel, expanding its use beyond flat-lay photography. With an interchangeable ¼”/3/8” connecting thread, it offers broad compatibility with a wide range of tripods, columns, and mounting systems.
