Which One to Buy Macro Focusing Slider

[brianbrittany]

Its coming up to Christmas and I have ordered a Raynox 250 Macro lens for my Fuji Finepix HS10 Camera .I have been looking at buying a Macro Focusing Slider Rail but which one? there are so many .
The one I have looked at are the Cowboystudio Macro Focusing Rail at £32.00 the Macro Shot Focusing 4 way £39.00
Manfrotto MA454 Macro £59.95 and the VELBON Super Macro £69.79.
Has anyone used any of these and would they recommend them or is there another make and model I shoul considder my budget goes to £70.00.
Any help would be much appreciated:lmao:

I would go for one of these:
4 way Macro Shot Focusing Rail Slider for SLR DSLR DC | eBay

Note just an example, use "4 way macro focus rail" as a search term to get more shop options as they are sold by a lot of different ebay shops.

These offer good, smooth performance and are more than enough for your Fuji camera or even DSLRs. I've also heard some good things of the Velbon your mention, but I've never used one. The Manfrotto I have and I find a pain to work with as the design results in the rail shifting in its housing as pressure is applied/reduced on the locking wheel (a major pain when working in macro).

I have the Manfrotto MA454, and for the limited number of times I need it, have been happy with it. It of course lacks the lateral axis adjustment of the four-way units, but it has a very handy rack-release feature which allows you to disengage the gear-adjustment mechanism and slide it large distances very quickly.
