[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 368788, member: 15356"] Why haven't you used your gitzo macro rail buddy? I had some cheap rails that I hated, since the nob you turn to move the the rail was too loose,too hard to turn when moving the camera up a grade, and it never was rock steady even when locked down. This rail seems better in several respects. It has a large nob to adjust position of the rail, two round rails to keep it stable and hopefully to keep it smooth but still tight without binding up. A good size lock lever so adjustments can be made and the quickly locked down. I am worried that the rail length might be a bit short, but better short than unsteady and a pain to use! Lol :) I'm hoping to get an off center column tripod for my macro to use this with, capitalizing on the versatility of the tripod and the fine tuning of the rail. :) [/QUOTE]
