Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it suitable for video?

A: Absolutely. I love this kit. It is super portable, light weight and a great value. I use it all of the time.

Q: 2. Is the pole in sections so that it can be used at different heights or is it just an 8' length?

A: The Studio Titan's column comes in two sections (lower and upper, combined with grub screws) to form a 8' stand, and you raise and lower the device mounted to its platform using the pistol grip.

Q: 3. there are 2 white screws came with the box, what are they for?

A: I think that those white screws are a mistake that were accidentally put in your box. No white screws came in my box. Just look at your directions and assemble your camera. You will see that there is no need for those screws. This is a great camera! Have fun with it!

Q: 4. Can I buy the dual pistol grip or can I buy pistol grips separately?

A: There is no dual pistol grip made for that camera stand. And they can not be purchased separately to be used together.

Q: 5. Please suggest a suitable optical viewfinder for this camera?

A: Unfortunately, there is not a viewfinder specifically designed for use with this camera, or for cameras with a 5:4 film aspect ratio. Most of the optical viewfinders we carry are designed for use with the 35mm 3:2 aspect ratio. However, if you are looking for an optical option that may work for your needs, while it would not exactly cover the frame on the long ends due to the aspect ratio difference, the Ricoh GV-1 External Viewfinder B&H # RIGV1, the Sigma VF-31 External Optical Viewfinder, B&H # SIVF31, and the Zeiss ZI Viewfinder for Zeiss Ikon Camera When Used with 18mm ZM Lens, B&H # ZEVF18, would have the closest angle of view for use with the Ilford HARMAN TiTAN 4 x 5 Pinhole Camera.

Q: 6. Does the kit provide 2 lights? It only says 2x clamps.

A: It does have 2 lights. I do like the adjust-ability of the lights. The back drop stand is a bit short. Will work well for younger children and for sitting on the floor, but not well for adults.

Q: 7. what is the circumference of the pole in order to install a super clamp with a right angle arm to hold a light?

A: The shaft diameter is 35mm or 1.37 inches, therefore a Super Clamp can definitely fit around it.

Q: 8. Is this considered a superwide? Does exposure compensation need to be added to expose the long ends of the film/paper?

A: The HARMAN technology TiTAN 4 x 5" Pinhole Camera has a 72mm focal length with a 97° angle of view, which would be roughly equivalent to a 20mm lens used on a full-frame 35mm camera. This would be right near the beginning of the focal lengths considered as a super-wide angle lens.

Q: 9. Can I use medium format backs for 4x5 cameras?

A: In theory, you could use a medium format imager with a 4x5 camera. However, in order that we may best answer your question, please email us with details of what you wish to do at provideo@bhphoto.com.

Q: 10. Do both sections go up / down as the handle is cranked or just the lower section?

A: The STUDIO TITAN AMERICA 06-200 Low Base Square Tube Geared Crank Stand (6.8') lower section is the one that moves with the crank.
