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.

Bracket came, everything is fine

Item fits just fine and looks great!

Compliant product

Excellent ring, neatly made, holds the lens well. On jupiter-21 m sat very tightly. Convenient buckle: first snaps, leaving the opportunity to turn on the lens, and then tightened. Drove quickly, tracked. I recommend.

Everything is fine, the plastic is good, it sits perfectly, let's see on reliability, came quickly

It took a little longer for customs even though they didn't charge me anything, if i had to send invoices and id. Perfect fit on the telephoto, good finish, easily mounted.

The price is certainly not small, but the quality is excellent and in stock!

Product arrival before indicated, excellent quality.

Great thing! It came clearly in two weeks, the seller advise 100!
