4° The macro-stage
This accessory has been designed by BEAULIEU to facilitate macro-
cinematographic shooting at subject lens distances of between 3 and
12 cm (1.2 and 4.8 ins.) approximately. Its most common uses are
filming transparencies and slides, post-cards or insects. It can also
act as stabilizer when macro-filming without a tripod.
Fitting the macro-stage to the Beaulieu 4008 ZM
— Unscrew the camera lens-hood.
— Unscrew the two parts of the lens-hood (front and rear rings).
— Screw these two parts back together after inserting between them
the macro-stage retaining ring.
— Screw the complete assembly on to the camera (the focussing
ring preferably being set at infinity).
Note: For macro-filming, the focussing ring should always be left
set at infinity (see instructions for use of the camera). (48)
How the macro-stage works
a) Distance-adjustment slide: the macro-stage being fitted to the
camera, the slide system makes it possible to move the subject
forwards or backwards so as to achieve the required magnification
ratio.
In order to set the distance, loosen the locking screw, slide the
subject back and forth until it is in the desired position, and tighten
the locking screw. The field covered 1.2 ins. from the lens is
22.5 mm (0.9 in.) X 16.8 mm (0.63 in. and, at 4.8 in, 29 mm
(1.14 in.) X 21.8 mm (0.86 in.). (49)
