The uncompromising top camera for use on a tripod, for example in studio, architectural and museum photography. The ALPA 12 XY dazzles most where other camera designs reach their limits because they are simply not precise and stable enough. Just as with the ALPA 12 MAX, both shift sleds are mounted on roller bearings. The sleds can in no position slide outside of the camera housing. This ensures extreme stability. They enable the very wide but always precise movements needed in particular for high-end stitching. A massive connecting adapter to a professional studio tripod is available as an accessory. Of course, like all other ALPA cameras, the ALPA 12 XY is fully integrated into the ALPA platform.
