User Guide for CRCS-FH4 Chinrest-Camera Support
Premium Professional Chinrest/Camera-Support (CRCS-FH4)
Tabletop Fluid-Head Chinrest (CRCS-FH4)
The CRCS-FH-4 is the top-recommended model of chinrest-camera support.
Ideal for the busy professional clinic, this chinrest facilitates efficient image acquisition. Live-View for on-
screen focusing (rather than peering through the viewfinder) and use of camera control software is
facilitated by the use of a chinrest.
The design positions the camera so the center of gravity is typically directly over the camera support pillar
for maximum stability. An optional calibration bezel is available for the focusing stage.
This unit may be disassembled by the user for easier transport, and fits in a 24"x12"x6" space.
