IN SHORT > I have over 40 years experience working with focusing rails. For a period of 20 years I made my living as a macro-photographer---using a top-of the line Novoflex focusing rail. There are "issues" using any focusing rail. Most problems are with the user rather than the equipment. For the work I do, mostly in the 1/4X to 4X range (subject filling the frame vertically 1/4"--4" high), the Neewer Pro is a very good focusing rail, and $23 is an incredible bargain price. DESCRIPTION > 6" X 6" X 3 1/2" > Movement range (in either axis) 4" > Large knobs drive the carriages; the small knobs optionally lock the carriages in place. > Very well made. Much better made than Neewer® Two-way 4"/10cm Macro Shot Focusing Focus Rail Slider for Flash Canon Nikon Sony DSLR Camera 1/4" Screw Quick Release Mount ) PROS > The carriage of the Neewer Pro moves smoothly, allowing reasonably precise adjustment > The stage of the Neewer Pro does not interfere with the LED focusing screen ("monitor") on my Lumix GX7 (the simple 1-axis Neewer focusing rail does interfere). > Even with the rail in its full forward position, the rail of the of the Neewer Pro does not interfere with use of the electronic veiwfinder on my Lumix GX7 (the simple 1-axis Neewer focusing rail is in the way). Caveat I never use the viewfinder when using the focusing rail. > The stage of the Neewer Pro does not interfere with large diameter lenses (the simple 1-axis Neewer focusing rail does interfere). > Note that you can disassemble the Neewer Pro and re-assemble several components as a 1-axis focusing rail, if you don't need 2-axes, and although it seems wasteful, it would probably be the best 1-axis rail available for the price. CONS > The Neewer Pro adds 3 1/2" to the height of any setup, which can be a problem with near ground-level macro field photography. > The Neewer Pro makes your setup top heavy. You have to be careful to keep the knobs locked down, or your camera etc. may flop over. Never happened to you? Congratulations, but remember that it only has to happen once to ruin a $1000 camera or lens. > The tripod threads are oddly placed at the edges of the bottome plate, with no threads in the middle of the plate. So it doesn't lock down as securely, and comes loose easier. It should be easy to disassemble the rail and drill and thread a 1/4" x 20 hole in the middle of the bottom plate. > The frame does shift substantially when you lock down the movement with the lock knob (which isn't the case with a premium focusing rail, such as a Novoflex). The solution is to tighten the lock knob as you make your final adjustments. How you assemble your system also has an effect: Assemble it with the in-out (focusing) rail on top (with the left-right rail on the bottom), with your lens axis as directly above the rail as possible. COMPLAINTS OF OTHER REVIEWERS > The complaints are about movements of less than 1mm (as specified by one reviewer). That is insignificant for "normal" macrophotography, and would be unnoticeable taking photos less than about 4X. > > Locked down (with the locking knobs) my focusing rail had no "play" or looseness. > > More than enough precision for me, taking macro-photos at up to 4x magnification (i.e., filling the frame with subjects 1/4" high). > Some reviewers claim that the movement is too stiff. Others complain that it is too loose. I found it about perfect--holding without needing to be locked down when used horizontally; and controllable (using the locking knob) when used at an angle or vertically. > The tripod threads were no problem on my focusing rail. If they are too tight or filled with too much paint etc, it is a simple thing to clean them out with a 1/4" x 20 bottom tap. > One reviewer suggested "soaking" the focusing rail in WD40. While WD40 is a "miracle" product with a thousand uses, it is NOT a good idea in this case. WD40 is too "aggressive". It dissolves glue and any pre-existing oil or grease, and WD40 eventually evaporates (and the fumes may damage photo equipment in the same drawer, bag, or case). A better solution is silicon grease Permatex PERMATEX DIELECTRIC GREASE 22058 . It takes some effort to work the silicon grease into the components, and wipe off excess, but it won't damage anything. > Many of the complaints are similar to my experience with the cheaper 1-axis Neewer focusing rail. Over the years, I've found that many reviewers review different items than they actually purchased. For this item, I'd only trust "verified purchase" reviews. PROPOSED DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS The Neewer Pro has some design issues: > It should be condensed vertically by about 2". > The stage (attachment to the camera) needs to be redesigned (a la the Novoflex design). > It would be ideal if at least one of the stages could "lift-and-rotate" 90 degrees (spring loaded), to make the focusing rail more compact for storage. The ("folded") complete rail could be 2" tall X 3" wide X 6" long. Such a rail would also be a "double-extendable" 1-axis focusing rail, which could be handy in many situations. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask questions.

So, I realize I'm very much a neophyte in the photography realm. I've been doing point-and-shoot for a long time, and finally bit the bullet and got a nice SLR camera (Nikon D3500). One of my goals which I wanted to achieve with that camera was to take great macro (close-up) pictures, so I made sure the package I purchased had a nice macro lens with it. But after ordering that, I had been recommended this and similar kits to make the macro photos more stable and reliable. So, I figured for $30, I'd go ahead and get this one. It comes in a plain brown box, no issues with that. But there is no documentation at all. There's a little pamphlet in multiple languages, but it just has an email address to contact if you're not satisfied and a request for feedback on Amazon. I got more instruction on the use of the device by going back and looking at the Amazon webpage for it than I did from the product itself. It's not at all tough to figure out once you realize that you have to mount it to a tripod, and it would also be nice to have a note that once you use the main thumbscrews to adjust to position, you should use the secondary ones to lock that position. Again, indicated in the sales page, but nothing documenting it in the package. The mechanics on it are fine, the thumbscrews are all very smooth and accurate. It does seem that the two bars (left-to-right and front-to-back) do not lock together tightly, so there is a bit of yaw once you think you've got everything set. So I would definitely recommend setting your focus, then either using the timer function on your camera, or using a remote shutter option. It's stable enough that the shutter itself does not cause enough movement to blur your image, but I'm not sure depending on point of balance if a finger on the shutter button would cause a problem or not. Overall, I think this is a decent product for the price. I may upgrade later if I get really serious, but for now, it works well enough for me.

The focusing rail is well built and very stable, but it could be made a lot better operationally. The issue is that this rail when used with high magnification macro lenses results in very short field of focus images. This issue is further exacerbated when you add macro extension tubes to get even higher magnification. The result is the user really needs to take a series of photos and merge them to get useful depth of field. The issue with this rail is that it has only course movement adjustments which makes it extremely difficult to make a series of uniform fractional movements of a millimeter to reliably secure overlapping images to merge into a uniformly in-focus image. My suggestion is to adopt the same type of two independent mechanical mechanisms used for coarse and fine adjustments on microscopes into the forward and back movement mechanism of this focusing rail. It would make an OK rail into a very useful and reliable tool. Also, I would add the option of click detent steps on the fine adjustment to make it easier for the user to have uniform steps in their multiple image captures prior to merging the photos. The two attached photos are of a Monarch butterfly's left compound eye which included the use of 32mm of extension tubes, and the right wing tip of the same butterfly. Both are stacked images using Helicon Focus software to merge multiple frames to secure greater depth of focus.
