Most large view cameras have a hook on the front and a ring two on
the bellows. You can hook up the bellows but another way to keep it from
sagging is just to put a rod of some sort through the rings and hook.
The body of the bellows hangs from the shaft.

Hi,
So like my 8x10 2-D camera with a 360mm
lens has big bellows sag, and for a long time
I couldn't figure a simple solution. Then I
tried a slide rule: just right! It adjusts for length
and the clear plastic gives extra support that moves,
plus it anchors on the front and back wooden shelves
of the camera.
I think I learned how to add and subtract with it but
that's about it. Maybe a portrait prop today.
