I like that it fits on my heavy duty desktop tripod, and affords me easy macro focusing in a small package. I didn't like that the controls are a bit small and a bit too tight (hence the loss of a star.) Especially the camera release knob - it could have been a little longer, AND the jaws could have been made to open a millimeter or more wider. I found it necessary to remove one of the stop bolts (an allen wrench was provided in the box) to then slide the rail onto my Arca lock on the tripod's ball head. This is contrary to the reviews that said it didn't fit. It fits, but you need to slide it on. Fortunately I won't need to take it on and off, since the tripod is dedicated to macro photography. This product is almost there, and well worth the seventy five bucks.

I've only used as a couple of times maybe a handful five or six if you're luckyIt takes a little getting used to for the fine tuning and with my eyes it's not easy at all even through live view but I have managed to pick and get a few good ones

I purchased this rail for macro photography, and the gears are not smooth, and the machining is not precise, so when you go to move the camera forward or backward, the entire camera setup rotates left and right. The movement forward and backward is also not smooth. Was really bummed out.

Well built, the slider moves smoothly and precisely. The Arca dovetail groove works with both my MeFoto travel tripod (with built in Arca ball head plate) and Sirui Arca Style ball head. Also works with a Gorillapod via the 1/4" screwhead. Met all my needs. Highly recommended.

Dovetail does not fit standard Arca Swiss mount. They seem to have made the dovetail too large and it does not fit my Arca Swiss mount. I had to return the item. Save yourself the headache and don't buy this item. It's a shame because otherwise it seems like a nice unit. When you move the rail it does have a scraping sound, so that's not so good either.

I was looking for a focus rail with Arca style clamp and found this product. It is solidly built, is rather heavy, and sits perfectly on another Arca style head. It also locks the camera or lens plate well. You may need a good quality tripod head to connect this one to it. I used this to capture picture of ice crystals. A sample image is attached. There are two minor concerns though: first, the lock knob for the camera is quite hard to be reached and can only be tightened when the clamp is at the very end of the rail. The second concern is about precision of the control mechanism. The camera moves more than a 2cm per 180 degree rotation of the focus knob, i.e. travels the whole length of the rail in just 5 twists, which is high and makes it rather difficult to control the precise movement of the camera. Overall a keeper and I can recommend it for macro photography.

Ich hatte bereits die Fokussierschiene schon einmal gekauft und war sehr zufrieden damit.Nun benötigte ich diese Schiene noch einmal und war etwas verwundert, das die Qualität so unterschiedlich ausfiel. Für Bastler ergibt sich ein neues Bearbeitungsfeld. Die Endkontrolle vor einer Auslieferung des Produktes scheint mir nicht gut zu funktionieren. Zunächst hakelte der Vortrieb ziemlich heftig. Die 2 Madenschrauben für eine seitliche Verwacklungskompensation kullerten lose in der Verpackung. Die 3 Schrauben für die Befestigung der Zahnstange befanden sich zwar in dem Sackloch jedoch eine Gewindeverbindung war nicht möglich. Die Schrauben drehten sich beim Nachziehen einfach durch. Vermutlich sind diese zu kurz. Habe sie herausfallen lassen und die 3 Sacklöscher tiefer gebohrt, Gewinde geschnitten und mit längeren Schrauben war nun eine Befestigung der Zahnstange möglich.Jetzt funktioniert diese Haoge MFR-180 so wie sie soll.Der Verkäufer ist natürlich für so eine Produktionsschwankung nicht verantwortlich.

Because of the thread pitch it is not easy to make precise adjustments. The rail moves too far for the slightest movement on the thumb turn.Its a solidly made item thoughTried it, returned it. Not precise enough

Chi scrive che questo articolo sia poco preciso, o di scarsa qualità , deve evidentemente darsi agli scacchi. Perché di fotografia capisce poco e niente. Solido, preciso, facile da usare, fa quello che deve e lo fa bene.
