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. 

This precision chinrest features:  

 

Precision focusing stage 

 

Professional fluid head positioner  

 

Chin height adjustment 

 

Sturdy quick-release camera mount 

 

Replaceable chinrest papers 

 

Sturdy bamboo hardwood platform 

 

Solid red oak camera support pillar 

 

Small footprint (about 11”x14”)  

 

Non-slip, non-mar rubber feet 

 

Easily disassembles to 24”x12”x6” 

 

Adjustable camera mounting 

 

Balanced for camera center of gravity 

 

Camera mount: 11-12” nominal 

(from iris)

 

 

Eye height: 16.5” above counter top
