Most parallel adjustments are executed indirectly. In other words: The possible adjustments increase linear with the camera extension. The M 679cs offers an up/down or lateral shift of 168 mm each at maximum camera extension The front and rear standard is simply placed parallel to the main (tilting angle 30°). -
