When I moved from the Plustek to camera scanning in 2019, the folding worktable was a constant source of vibration. Even throught all of the changes and upgrades, vibrations were still something I had to be careful about. When I moved to the A7C II it provided the ability to tether. This was a big improvement over the A7 II and a IR release. When I switched from the cobbled together Negative Supply Riser MK1 to the new Basic Riser Mk 3, things really improved and vibrations are mostly gone. Part of my problem with the Riser MK 3 is the base is heavy but just a bit too small. Apparently the guys at Negative Supply think that if you are using a 4X5 Lightsource Pro along with the Pro Mount MK 2, you are using one of their larger copy stands. The legs on the Pro Mount would bump into the button head cap bolts when trying to adjust the carrier. I swapped out the button head bolts for a larger 5mm flat head cap bolts and a larger rubber foot. The last thing I need to do is find someone with a drill press so I can countersink the bolt heads for a smooth surface.
Cost wise, it was a big investment but I kept adding and changing pieces over the years so it wasn't one big outlay all at once.
