Does what it's spoda and it does it well. Better than most macro focusing rails at this price point especially since it has measured markings on the slide adjustment knob for precise quantifiable movements.

Generally solid construction, materials and screws feel good and smooth, however I can’t give 5 stars because there is an unacceptable amount of wobble when moving back and forth. If you’re using it for macro photography you will see your subject move around. I guess to get higher quality you have to go to the next price level. You can deal with it but you’ll just lose some of the picture from having to crop it and recenter later if you’re focus stacking.

No complaints, this little gadget took my macro photography to the next level - for stationary subjects, anyway. It's too slow and cumbersome for anything that moves (live bugs, etc). I was prepared for grease like many reviews warned about. My rail, however, came with *no* lubricant at all, and was gritty and gross to turn. I used some clipper blade lubricant and now it's smooth and not at all messy. I echo the other cons noted by previous reviews - the legs are pointless and the handle moves the whole rig so much that I don't use it, but no big deal to me. I'm glad I purchased this rail and for now it's all I need!

Rail permits precise, calibrated camera movement to produce macro images with very limited depth of field for image stacking. Seems well made.

First, full disclosure, this is my first purchase of a set of focus rails. I found the NiSi unit to be of good build quality and I think that is important for focus rails. They have given thought to the overall product including the packaging. The packaging is attractive very modern like an Apple product. The product is well made, parts fit together well. It's expensive but it includes an good Arca Swiss Camera plate which is a nice touch. Comments about the grease are correct. It's easy to touch grease. When mounted to my tripod and with everything clamped, it is solid. I have been getting great results when focus stacking and in macro work. I find that the screw knob is easy to use for fine focus adjust and the crank is for corse adjust. I am a happy customer.

I REALLY wanted to like this macro focus rail (NM200s) and was incredibly excited about it, but I decided to return it almost immediately after seeing it in person. At a $200 price point for a precision rail you'd expect something ... well ... precise. I don't know, maybe I just got unlucky and received a defective unit, but the lead screw on the product I received was badly warped. This warp causes the entire carriage assembly to wobble, which is then amplified to the attached camera. In macro photography, the subject needs to be still for quality photo stacks and this amount of wobble is unacceptable, especially at higher magnifications (kind of the point for buying a rail haha). The product is also unstable on a desktop due to the narrow feet. Things I liked: Product looks nice, materials feel high quality, the dial indicator for precise adjustments is nice, I had no issues with either of the arca rail mounts, the quick adjust button works well. Things I didn't like: Machining tolerances allow the carriage to twist and wobble, carriage hits the dial and loses significant travel distance if it is oriented in a way that makes the most sense for mounting a camera, feet are spaced too close together making it unstable on a desktop, lead screw is warped (in my case, some may be fine), the dial makes contact with and rubs on another piece of metal when turned, overall tolerances need work. Suggestions for manufacturer: Use a linear rail or two rods with slide bearings to eliminate the ability for the lead screw to wobble the carriage. Or, improve your quality control to prevent the use of warped lead screws. Space the feet out with two optional/removable brackets for a wider/more stable base. Check the design for interferences and make adjustments so the knobs can't hit things. I appreciate simple designs, but that makes tolerancing and quality control critical and this product seems to be lacking in those areas (this is coming from a mechanical engineer).

Very, very nice machine. It is well engineered and perfectly executed. This is probably the only macro rail you will ever need.
