Thank you for your answer. I am likely to get the WeMacro rail very soon. :-)

Here's a helpful tip: Sturdiness is perfectness..! I started out with a piece of 1/2-inch plywood 12-inches wide by 30-inches long. I got a couple of threaded inserts like you would use to put a leg that had a 1/4-inch thread on a table.

Draw a line down the center length of the board to use as an "aiming guide". Insert the female threaded inserts about 18-inches from the end of the board. Mount the WeMacro rail to the board.

Place the board onto a sturdy table or counter top. Place weights at both ends of the board. The weights serve several purposes including absorbing low frequency vibrations plus it keeps any light accidental bumping from moving your gear.

Mount your camera to the WeMacro rail and place your subject inline with the camera. Here's a handy sliding work table and a laboratory jack to help fine tune positioning of the subject.

Again sippy great shot! How come we don't see zits and acne on these bugs? It's like living machinery! LOL
