Just thinking out load, would like to see the center of gravity back a little further. Not sure how much this set up will Flex when you add a long 100mm macro lens and maybe a flash.

My concern is vibration movement being exaggerated on your cantilever design, like a diving board.

I'd turn the DSLR around. so that the lens is over the center of the tripod. This is how I use my focusing rail.

We await your results. Start indoors, such as on a table-top studio set-up.
