Your original system had the pistons underneath the platform, right?
You must be assuming that the ganged pistons would be underneath. This is not a
requirement.
I'm not advocating for ganged pistons.
I'd think that a geared mechanism (possibly motorized) would be best.

To make a skyward camera angle you must either raise the front of the camera (as
well as the stage), or lower the back (again with the stage not flat to the
ground.
