ARCA-SWISS f-universalis Digital Back

Lightweight. Precise. Technical camera control for digital backs.

The ARCA-SWISS f-universalis Digiback is a lightweight and compact technical camera from the ARCA-SWISS F-line. It is specifically designed for use with digital backs and provides precise control over perspective, focus plane, and image composition.

By allowing independent positioning of lens and sensor, the camera enables classic view camera movements such as tilt, shift, and rise/fall. This allows accurate perspective correction, controlled focus adjustments, and high-resolution multi-shot techniques.

The f-universalis combines the well-known precision of ARCA-SWISS technical cameras with a compact and lightweight construction, making it suitable for both studio and on-location work.

Construction

The camera is supplied with the wide-angle bellows (Art. No. 071013). It features a 100 × 100 mm square mount for the front standard and a magnetic circular interface for attaching a digital back via a dedicated adapter.

• The bellows does not twist when switching between landscape and portrait orientation
• The construction remains light-tight
• Different digital backs can be integrated using dedicated adapters

The front standard accepts ARCA-SWISS 110 × 110 mm lens boards and features the patented Orbix® Micrometric tilt system. The tilt movement occurs around the optical center of the lens, minimizing the need to refocus when applying the Scheimpflug principle.

• Geared rise/fall adjustment
• Movement range of approx. 40 mm
• Manual swing movement via a locking lever

The base rail measures 200 mm and forms the rigid foundation of the system. The rear function carrier supports the digital back and enables geared focusing and vertical adjustments directly on the image plane.
