Focusing rails are essential accessories for macro photography, which requires precise distance modifications and a steady hand, as well as other situations where accurate camera positioning is crucial.
Two 6" rails allow movement in four directions, right, left, forward and backward. Mounts on, and accepts 1/4 thread screws, and it will fit most tripods and stands. Positive locking knobs assure rock-steady focus.
This excellent quality rail is for use with all digital and film SLR cameras and is compatible with most Nikon, Minolta and Pentax macro and EOS bellows, macro shot extension tubes, or macro lenses such as the Canon FD and FL

I bought one of this for my courses; this 4 way focusing rail is not bad at all for this price.
I run photography courses in London and I bought it for my courses, for people to learn macro photography and practice with it. This gadget works really well, I was reluctant at the beginning and but i really liked it; it has a smooth movement, the adjustments knobs are quite handy and it can be split in two which is good considering you might not need both rails, Overall, a solid, well built piece of kit. It can also be used with the camera grip mounted. I recommend for those who want a budget macro tool.

It worked well for close up photos. I have no problem using it with a very nice camera. The build quality is nice for it's cost, but if I used it every day for 8 hours a day to make my living, I would want a better quality, but that would be on about 15 times more.
This unit is fine for light use.
