Q: 1. What do I need to purchase additionally for a Z9, and what would I need to place it on my Manfrotto 410 tripod head?

A: To attach the Nikon Z9 body to the back of the Cambo ACTUS-G View Camera Body (Black) you need this mount, BH #CABHACTUSG (https://bhpho.to/2qkgl6o). It does not come with a front lens mount.

Q: 2. All of this work with xcd lenses?

A: Actus-XCD cannot work with the Hasselblad XCD lenses at this time. The lenses themselves are unable to be controlled when not connected to the camera body, and if used with a Hasselblad X1D body would result in the bellows acting as a series of extension tubes and not the intended perspective control method.
