Compact, portable, and fully-adjustable, the Cambo ACTUS-MV View Camera Body with Bellows Mount Kitis 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.

Q: 2. Will this focus to infinity with a Nikon Z body?

Q: 3. Does this work with the Nikon D810 ?

A: Yes, this is compatible with the Nikon D810.

Q: 4. How does this differ from the Actus G? And would this work with the BMPCC6K Pro on the back? Thanks

A: Yes, you may need to be creative regarding mounting it to be sure it'll fit,. But you could use it with with the BMPCC6K Pro, yes. This and the Actus G are substantially the same but the B2 comes with the various camera mounts as currently shown (June 2021) on this webpage. The tilt, rail, and other adjustment abilities are the same.

Q: 5. I would like to use the Cambo B-4 with a Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera to photograph architecture. What lenses would I need to have infinity focus and have the whole sensor of the camera covered? Thanks

A: If you’d like to use a mirrorless Nikon on the Actus, you need the Actus-G combined with Nikon Z bayonet. The Actus-B4 is for use with Nikon DSLR cameras. The Actar-24 is designed to cover the full sensor and more. You’ll have 10mm of shift to both sides. Physically more, but beyond 10 the quality deteriorates. The Actar-35 is also a good option, but this lens is a retrofit, meaning the client needs to send in his lens to us and we rebuild it. Nikon F lenses can also be used on the Actus/Nikon-Z combination. There won’t be any limitations in focussing to infinity, but in general the image circle of these lenses is too small to be of any use.

Q: 6. Along with a Nikon D810 I also have a Pentax 645Z system with a 120mm f4 medium format lens. Will this combination work together?

A: You can use your Nikon D810 with the 120mm lens if you use Cambo ACB-P645. There isn't a bayonet available to mount the Pentax 645Z body to the Actus. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1131846-REG/cambo_99070719_lensplate_with_pentax_645_lens.html

Q: 7. Will the Canon M6 Mark II work on the Actus-B2?

A: This an EF mount on the ACTUS-B2. While it is possible to adapt for use with an EF-M camera, it has not been tested to our knowledge.

Q: 8. Hello. I own two DSLR bodies, a Canon Rebel SL1 with APS-C sensor and a Nikon D800 with a full-frame sensor. I also have a large array of Nikkor full-frame lenses. May I use the Actus-B2 with Canon EF mount to pair the APS-C Rebel SL1 with a full-frame Nikkor lens to provide a greater circle of coverage for view camera movements? Thank you very much.

A: This will not enable the use of Nikon lenses on an EF body; the purpose of this device is to use DSLR lenses effectively as a view camera (large format). You can instead use an adapter.

Q: 9. Would this system work with my mirrorless EOS R? I still shoot EF via an adapter, but not sure that would affect the function.

A: If you are using the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R on the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera, you can mount your setup directly on the Cambo ACTUS-B2 View Camera Body with Canon EF Bayonet Mount Kit (Black) without issue.

Q: 10. With 147mm of travel to focus, I'm thinking that the Nikor W 150mm F5.6 S LF lens is just a tad too long. Is that correct?

A: Unfortunately if you are looking to use a Nikon F mount lens, with an F mount body it is not possible to do so and maintain infinity focus. Doing so would turn the Actus into a strange set of "extension tubes" that would not be a functional solution. I would instead recommend Mamiya RB/RZ lenses and large format lenses 100mm and greater for maximum compatibility.
