To easily mount the camera directly above the photography table, Skyler uses a Tether Tools tripod with wheels combined with the Tether Tools Crossbar Arm. This provides him with a camera stand that is quick to set up and stable enough for this type of photography.
To have a full view of the subject, Skyler has a tablet mounted on the tripod that provides a live view of the photography table. The software he uses is Capture One or Lightroom.

Often, photo shoots can take a long time, and to avoid disruptive battery changes, Skyler connects an ONsite Relay to his camera, which means he never has to interrupt the photography.
