Just kidding, no it isn’t. But, if you have an electric turntable and don’t want to hold it, let a tripod hold it for you. Had the tripod for unrelated shenanigans, just got new scanner, so connected the two. Would have been best to scan my scanner, but would have needed another scanner…so scaled a picture instead. Once it’s all put together, it’s easy to grab it out of holder, catch harder to reach details, plop it right back in, keep going.
