Review: FotoMate LP-02 Macro Focusing Rail


Solid macro slider from FotoMate, not much else to say, it's solid and it works.

Full name: FotoMate LP-02 200mm Movable 2 Way Macro Focusing Rail Slider - Black
Webshop: DX.com (Deal Extreme)
Price: $21.90 (Free shipping)

Pros:
This one is built solid, about 4mm thick material, with strong rubber on top and a nice surface. On the top plate it has two male 1/4" attachment screws and a female 3/8" in the middle which has an inlay that converts it to a 1/4". Under the main plate it has a 1/4" attachment hole for tripods and such. Adjustment is done with a solid screw which has a good grip and feel to it and it locks with another screw that can also be use to give the slider some traction.

Cons:
Maybe not a con, but if you need some really fine tuning be aware that a full turn on the adjustment screw moves the slider about 2cm.
