Can anyone suggest a good macro focusing rail which is wobble-free during precision adjustments and has a locking feature?
The locking feature is very important because I don't want the slightest amount of play or creep when the whole thing is moved (I need to be able to replicate this shot).
I've looked at the [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554343-REG/Manfrotto_454_454_Micrometric_Positioning_Sliding.html"]Manfrotto 454[/url] but as most people say, it's wobbly and the focusing knob feels terrible. The [url="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/193311-REG/Velbon_SUPER_MAG_SLIDER_Super_Mag_Slider.html"]Velbon Super Mag Slider[/url] feels very nice but I'm afraid it might creep or get accidentally re-adjusted because there's no locking feature.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
