Q: 1. I am considering more involvement in macro photography. I understrand the purpose of rails and photo stacking. I am wondering about the use of cable release and a lens ring to add to the stability of the set up. However, is it possible to use a cable release with a Nikon D90?

A: There are many remotes for the D90. This is a wired remote for the D90, http://bhpho.to/1alWxywAnd this is a wireless version, http://bhpho.to/1cm0HdBA lens ring can either be a reverse ring to attach two lenses together for macro photography or it could mean a Macro ring light.

Q: 2. Hi, I have a Manfrotto MH054-Q2 tripod head and am looking for a macro focussing rail that will work with that. Will this one do that, also any other rails that you might suggest I look at? Thanks

A: I think this rail would work on any head. At the bottom of this rail, there are two holes for the two main sizes of screws that are usually in use, commonly the 1/4 size and 3/4 size. So, I believe you can fit this rail head on any other heads you have (that is, fitting the detachable plate of the tripod head to it).

Q: 3. can I mount a manfrotto 394 to it

A: Yes, the Manfrotto 454 Micrometric Positioning Sliding Plate will work with the Manfrotto 394. The bottom of the plate has a inch female thread and will work with most tripod heads and quick release plates.

Q: 4. Can this be used to shoot jewelry close up at f/5.6? It will need to be able to adjust in very small increments. Thanks

A: Yes works great. Product Photography How To Tutorials that include jewelry. http://www.tabletopstudio.com/HowTo_page.html

Q: 5. Camera mount screw

A: Look at the O end of the slot in the mounting plate. Its very slightly wider than the rest of the slot and faintly threaded. The mounting screw just screws in from the bottom of the plate here.

Q: 6. Does anyone have experience using a Manfrotto 410 on top of the 454 or know of any reason it wouldn't work? We have been using the 410 to obtain the perfect angle for several years, but we are looking for a way to slide the entire camera setup those few critical inches or less to make obtaining the shot a lot easier.

A: For close-up work, I use the 454 on top of my 410. It works great.

Q: 7. What is the distance per full turn of the knob? Thanks

A: One full rotation is 1 mm.

Q: 8. How would I mount it to a tripod?

A: The tripod plate can mount directly to the bottom of a dovetail.

Q: 9. I have Manfrotto 488RC4 ballhead with that RC4 quick release system. Will this railing snap on as is? The two answers below seemed to be contradictory.

A: This rail is not quick release ready, you would just screw your existing qr plate into the bottom of this rail.

Q: 10. I just received this product and the two screws were in a little plastic bag. They do not fit through the opening in the sliding rail so there is now way that I can mount my camera. Am I missing something about assembling this product?

A: One end of the rail is threaded, just screw into that thread up through the rail.
