Focus Stacking Rail for Actus View Cameras

Focus Stacking Rail for Actus View Cameras

By integrating the Cambo’s new Focus Stacking Rail with the Actus View cameras, photographers gain the best of both worlds. This rail system allows the use of a third-party stepper motor, such as the Cognisys or similar systems, to make the focus stacking process precise, automated, and effortless. Cambo’s system moves the sensor rather than the lens, which keeps the perspective perfectly consistent throughout the entire focus stack. It eliminates alignment errors and ensures optimal results in the final rendering. At the same time, all standard movements of the Actus remain fully available, preserving its flexibility and creative control.

 Thanks to the generous camera extension of the Cambo Actus, extreme magnifications become achievable with ease. The system also provides access to a wide range of new and legacy lenses, including outstanding macro options from Schneider, Linos, and Rodenstock.

Create images that are sharp from front to back—regardless of your subject’s size. It’s the perfect way to explore the fascinating world of macro photography. Cambo’s Focus Stacking Rail features a highly precise micrometric rail, and when combined with a stepper motor, it allows the camera to focus in exceptionally small, accurate increments—ensuring repeatable, dependable results every time.

The Focus Stacking Rail integrates seamlessly with three cameras in the Actus line that you may already own. The Actus-B, Actus-G, and the Actus-DB2. The installation is straightforward, and the conversion is fully reversible at any time, which gives you maximum flexibility without permanently altering your system.
