4way macro rail for canon

[Ron McGill]

Have been looking at various rails available and price range is hugh!

Any advice and experiences with rails would be most appreciated.

I have the Velbon super mag slider focus rail, it is fairly quick and easy to use and is adjustable backwards, forwards and sideways, I have only really used it backwards and forward for focus stacking it is quick and easy to mount the camera on. The adjustment screws are quick and easy to adjust!

I have used it with a Canon 7D and EF100mm F2.8L IS Macro lens and it seemed to manage the weight okay,

I looked at various options and this seem to be the one that came out best for my budget.

This shot was taken with it:-

I use a cheapo chinese (£30ish) and find it excellent - 7D, 100 IS or MP-E 65, Sigma 140 macro flash. But I have heard some have had problems with the adjustment (too coarse)
