I love my EOS 100mm f/2.8L macro lens, but on tripod it was a pain to rotate to vertical.This mount did it for both macro work and portraits for me. Very sturdy, fluid, and speeds up work-flow.

The rail can be mounted directly on an ARCA clamp on your tripod or you can use the threaded hole on the bottom of the rail to attach any quick release plate. The camera or lens is mounted on the rail by means of an ARCA quick release plate (not supplied). The clamp on the top of the rail holds the quick release plate securely with no detectable play. It is also possible to attach a second iShoot focus rail perpendicularly on top of the first rail using the same clamp if you want to provide controlled side-to side movement (I have not tried this).To adjust lens distance from the subject (and thus adjust the area in focus). you twist the knob at either end of the rail. The slider moves smoothly and hold its position well. The knobs are well made from high grade aluminum and are machined to provide a very sure grip. It is a treat to watch the area in focus move along the subject as you watch through the viewfinder. For large movements, you can press the quick release lever at the side of the slider. This disengages the threaded clamp form the drive rod so that you can rapidly move the camera/lens in and out. The quick release lever can lock to avoid accidents. There is also a knob on the far side of the slider that can fix the slider in position.

The iShoot macro focusing rail is very well made and an excellent value for the money. It is made from high quality materials that are precision machined. There is very little play in the mechanism - which is really important in macro photography. The rail uses a worm drive design that allows precise adjustment of the distance of the lens from the subject. Even with a heavy lens on the camera (Canon MP-E 65 on an 80D body), I could not detect any slippage down hill when the lens is angled down - presumably due to the friction between the threaded rod, bearings and the threaded clamp that is mounted in the slider. All of the mechanism is exposed so cleaning and lubrication are possible if needed. I'd recommend storing the rail protected from dust to avoid the need to clean it. One issue with this design is that it is possible to touch lubricated parts of the rail so care must be taken to avoid spreading lubricants to your other photographic equipment.

Great workmanship, there is no problem with the installation, I think its value is far more than its price. Nice product, thank u!

Nice design. I saved a lot of money because of this little thing, this is why the converter is so important to every photographer. It is sturdy and beautiful, easy to carry and use. The entire disassembly and mount time is only about 1 min.

good quality

I used this adapter to mount my Canon lens to Sachtler FSB 6T, very stable and easy to use. It's a good design, satisfied.

Good quality

Good quality.

It's is an amazing adapter. I think all my photographer friend should have such a practical little thing.

Really good. You used a nice delivery. And I can use this adapter to change the clamp .Let's take a look at it for a long time using.

good
