That is some serious looking camera support. Mind if I ask what it is?

Its a sort of hybrid Arca Swiss M/F-Line camera which allows me to move the rear, holding the Sony A7II, in X and Y directions, so that I can take numerous shots and build up a medium or large format equivalent image. Its got some RRS bits in it too. Long story, but I am experimenting with very old lenses and it would be even more expensive to shoot film to assess them so this system does so digitally. Its tricky to use but is starting to produce some interesting images. The learning curve is steep and there is no manual. The camera is mounted on an Arca P0 head (below is on an Arca Z tripod head) and on an ancient large carbon fibre Gitzo tripod which is at least 20 years old (because I've had it that long). The really nice thing about Arca cameras is how modular they are and how many obscure bits they make, but this comes at a cost. I've built it up fairly cheaply by buying bits as they have come up.
