Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is maximum weight limit on this? Planning to mount a setp upto 6lb total. Also, can i attach camera directly to the rail?

A: This can support 6lbs and more. The load limit is more dependent on the head and legs than the actual rail. The DPG 3016R is a solid rail.

Q: 2. Can this rail support acra swiss clamps on both the top and bottom of the rail? Is it dual sided?

A: Yes, the Sunwayfoto DPG-210R Multi-Purpose Rail does have a double dovetail. Arca clamps can be placed on the top or the bottom.

Q: 3. Does the center of the bubble level line up with the center of the threaded hole at the bottom?

A: Yes, the center of the bubble level lines up with the center of the threaded hole at the bottom.

Q: 4. How much weight can this hold? Can it easily hold a medium format camera (Pentax 645z) with a larger, heavier lens (80-160mm zoom)?

A: The manufacture does not list the maximum load the rail can handle. It is pretty much a solid piece of metal so it can support a lot of weight.It is the head or other part you attach to the rail that is more of a concern for maximum load.

Q: 5. Can I use this on a gimbal so that a camera with short lens can be used with the gimbal?

A: Gimbal heads are generally for long telephoto lenses with a built in tripod. Using one with a shorter lens may result in the inability to balance the camera.

Q: 6. Thank you for your answers. But my question is: does it have a threaded hole IN the end; not on the long flat surface at the end?

A: One end has three holes on the very end of the rail: a center hole smaller than 1/4 and one hole on either side of the center hole smaller in diameter than the center hole. All of the holes are threaded.

Q: 7. Will this easily hold a medium format camera with a bigger lens (80-160 zoom)? How much weight can it handle, given that the weight has a little bit of leverage, being back from the center of gravity?

A: I've used this rail to support a Swarovski 95mm spotting scope w/65x straight mag and focus module,70-200mm Canon lens and a Tamron 150-600mm lens with no problems at all. The rail is double edged quite strong. I have purchased three of these and love the quality. I don't think you will have a problem with amedium format camera at all. If you are still concerned you could always mate two of the rails together.But, I think that would be a little over kill. Hope this helps.

Q: 8. Do you recommend the 200 or the 140 for a Sony A7III with a 16-35 2.8? thanks

A: In my honest opinion, there is not much disadvantage to having a longer nodal rail in case you get a longer lens in the future and need more room for correcting for parallax. While we haven't tested this combination ourselves, from looking at the camera + lens combination I think in this case 140mm should just about work.

Q: 9. Can I use this QR plate on a Wimberley Gimbal MH-200 II with a long telephoto lens (Canon FD 800mm F5.6 L + Camera)?

A: Yes, the Sunwayfoto DPG-210R Multi-Purpose Rail will fit the FD800mm f/5.6L. And you can use that on the Wimberley Gimbal MH-200 II head.

Q: 10. Can the clamp be rotated 90 degrees (for use with (tripod collar) lens plates?

A: No. You'd need to dove plate adapter for that.
