The Ross Stereo Camera (tailboard) is a 19th-century British wood-and-brass stereoscopic plate camera of the tailboard pattern, produced by the London optical maker Ross for recording paired images on a single glass plate. Cameras of this type were positioned as professional stereoscopic instruments when new, used with twin matched lenses to produce images for parlour stereo viewers.

At recent UK auction, hammer results for the Ross Stereo Camera (tailboard) sit in a narrow band between roughly £1,100 and £1,100, with a median around £1,100 — figures that reflect wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail. As of 2026, what a complete tailboard Ross stereo sells for today is strongly condition-sensitive: bellows integrity, matched lens pair, original plate holders and wooden body finish all drive value, and incomplete examples typically trade below this range.
