Using the left-to-right adjustment gets perfect stereoscopic shots. Also ideal for all macro photos (no need to move the subject).

Great for macro and 3D

I found the two adjustment knobs to be loose, having too much play to set precisely. The price was low. Perhaps it can be tightened up.

Good for the price.

My first macro rail. Can’t beat it for the price.  I find the movement smooth enough ( especially for the price). The thumb screw for connecting the camera is slightly frustrating and awkward, there is not much room to work with. The only thing I wish it had would be an indicator like a simple arrow on the ruler and maybe .5mm increment indicators as well.  I made my own indicator with a zip tie and 3m tape. Overall happy.

Can’t beat it for the price.

Smooth operation and seems to be of fair quality. I would like to use the product for a little while before giving an absolute opinion on its quality and use. As of this moment its of sound quality and performance.

Smooth Operation better than other higher priced items

Cheap, but works great. Adjustments can be a bit coarse, but does the job, well made, stable, and a bit heavy... kind of a good thing actually.

It's a keeper!

Surprisingly good quality for the price.  Adjustments seem precise.  A very  good value.

Good value

Nice

Invaluable for product (jewelry) photography

Great tool for precise focus.

This is a solid starter piece for the money. The adjustment wheels are a bit small so there is a human limit to how fine of an adjustment can be made. I found this workable and at the same time has given me the experience to build a list of features to look for on my next one when the money is available.

Good starter piece

If your serious about macro, you need this. I love mine and you will love yours too.

Must Have!

Well made. Does not require extra accessorys to mount camera or to mount on tripod though I use quick releases for both.  With my set up and a manfrotto tripod a little heavy to lug in the field but very good in my micro studio.

Excellent

This is the Flashpoint I use. It’s easy to adjust to the way you like, it is stabile and not very heavy in weight. After using this, I really enjoy it. No worries, buy it, you’ll be very happy you did. Jim, Charlotte, NC

Flashpoint Macro focusing Rail

Works fine

Very well made a little heavy which makes it very solid

Soiid

well built. works well for extreme closeups.

nice focusing aid for macro work

It does what I expected it to do and gave me the results I was after. It is a little tricky to lock in place when operating in the vertical position.

Good purchase

For the price, this is a solidly built device. While I'd suggest improvements, like a quick release attachment to camera, and the ability to sturdily hold a DSLR with more than just a 60 mm lens, that's not a fix that can be retrofited, or made for the same money, so we must accept this as it is. 
   It's a relatively inexpensive way to get teh job done with a macro rail-type system for a photogrpaher who doesn't do this everyday, and who doesn't need more than a 60mm macro lens.

Very good buy for the money

I have used the Flashpoint Focusing Rail for a few weeks and am very happy with it's performance. I did not want to spend great sums of money to see if I would like a focusing rail and this was the perfect answer. I am sure there are more sophisticated products out there but this fits my needs perfectly.

A great product for the price

receiver of gift is thrilled and says it has all the functions he wanted

purchased as a gift

Works just as intended.  Full control for macrophotography. Excellent control  in each axis.

Works just as intended

For good macro photos a focusing rail sure makes things easier. I got this one because I couldn't afford the more expensive models. I was a bit apprehensive about the quality since it was so much less than others that I looked at. However, there was no need to worry. This Flashpoint is really quite good! My camera fits securely without wobbling around. The movement of the rails are smooth and give me plenty of travel. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Great quality at a great price

Works good to stabilize a camera for macro imaging resulting in pinpoint clarity.

Great addition to my hobby.

Great buy at twice the price. Well made with fluid motion on
both axis. I'm a retired mech engr. and appreciate things
that are well designed and built.

precision

Build quality is good and the unit should hold up well for constant use. An indicator mark for the scale on the rails would make for more precise fine tuning when using for focus stacking.

Quality & use

I find the build quality of this product to be excellent.  I'm typically using this product mounted on the head of a heavy duty tripod.  Being able to finely adjust the camera position on both X and Y axis is necessary for the extreme macro photography I am attempting to image, typically 5X to 15X, at the sensor, or more.  This product is very easy to use and I recommend it to anyone doing this type of close-up imaging.

High Quality, Low Price

I got this free with a Canon 180mm macro lens bundle. I would have eventually bought a focusing rack anyway. I think they sell it for about $45 separately. It is worth the price. It is surprisingly well made, and a valuable tool for getting your manual focus right. Someone else said the side to side racking is useless. I agree. You can do that with your tripod head. Maybe I'm missing something. There is also the issue of locking the settings with the tension knobs. Not a problem as long as you don't overtighten or throw your tripod over your shoulder with the camera and rack attached. Although I do this. Just be sure they are tight. Treat this with care and it's a good product. I use it with my Canon 100mm and 180mm. Turn on your live view, press magnification, and you can get exact focus without moving your tripod. Great tool.

Pleasantly surprised.

I have only used it once so far, but it helps when I am trying to get close and keep the object in focus. I use it with a bellows where there is all most no depth of field.

This really works

Excellent built for price. Should work fine for the amount of macro tripod work I do.

Better then expected.

Excellent for macro shots.  I haven't tried it yet for macro stacking, but I am optomistic!

Exactly what I needed and inexpensive

Perfect for macro/micro photography. When shooting extreme close ups this allow very fine adjustment of camera position eliminating the need to move or adjust your tripod.
