Just got, from China, for 14.98 postage paid a Fotomate LP-01 macro slide. Well built and works well. An excellent deal that took 11 days from order to delivery.

Dan, I'm curious what you will use it for. I thought you had a Conigsys that included a macro rail for stacks.

What is the repeatable, minimum advancement of this item? Does it mount on a macro rail?

Glad you asked.

I have a slide under the CogniSys for major, rough movement of the camera, leaving minute adjustments to the Cognisys rail. I found that I needed adjustment on the horizontal plane and this macro slide works great. It is not a truly accurate slider but to guess (I haven't checked this out yet) one turn of the knob is about 1/2 mm.

We would appreciate a photo of your final configuration.

The setup.

Should I post this elsewhere too?
