    Product Description

    The Velbon Super Mag Slider, essential for precision macro photography, is made of a lightweight, corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy. Even with a steady hand, macro photography can be tricky and temperamental. The fine tuning of the Super Mag Slider helps you find the right depth of field to take precise close-up photos.

    The smooth action macro-rails consist of X and Y movable tables for precisely adjusting focus. The X axis moves right and left, the Y axis moves towards and away from the subject via threaded rods. By using the included allen key you can separate the top and bottom tables for additional modification. Underneath the top table (Y), there are both 1/4 and 3/8-inch threaded holes for mounting the top table to a tripod. The adjustment knobs are smooth and fluid, and have just the right amount of resistance.

    For over 50 years the name VELBON has been recognised as a leader in the design, development and manufacture of tripods and tripod accessories. Velbon has the distinction of being the largest specialised manufacturer of tripods and offers a quality line of products to help meet the needs of the beginner as well as experienced professional photographer. Whether you need a tripod for still camera - 35mm, medium format and large format, digital camera, video camera, binoculars or scopes, Velbon has a model with the quality, craftsmanship and exact features to meet your needs.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for entry and maybe medium level macro photography.

    I decided to step up from a 3 axis Meike Slider (plastic) which I bought to give a try to macro photography. I decided to keep going for the macro so began to search for a good option without breaking the bank.
    Finally, I choose the Velbon and it has been one of my greatest surprises with camera gear. I love it because of its sturdiness and yet easy controls and moderate weight.
    I use it for 1:1 Macro stacking photos. Absolutely recommended for such application.
    It has an almost unnoticeable side movement every one full turn of the adjustment knob, but for my level of work, it passes unnoticed. Maybe for higher magnifications, it will represent an issue.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and mount camera to. Side axis slide is great for centralizing subject.

    Would be better if the slides had a graduated scale on the side so that accurate increments could be made with ease.

    Tiene buena precisión, no vale para la técnica de "apilado de imágenes", le falta precisión. Pero como accesorio par un enfoque de precisión va muy bien y es muy cómodo de usar

    5.0 out of 5 stars Slitta micrometrica
    Reviewed in Italy on October 14, 2015

    Posso confermare con estrema soddisfazione che questa slitta ha risolto i miei problemi a livello di macrofotografia.
    La uso su un supporto fisso facendola lavorare il verticale. L'altra slitta che possiedo non è in grado di lavorare in verticale in quanto a causa del peso della macchina fotografica tende a scivolare verso il basso impedendone così l'utilizzo.
    La meccanica del Velbon è ben fatta e leggera, la vite di attuazione a un passo di 2 mm, il che significa che con un piccolo angolo di rotazione della manopola si può apprezzare una traslazione della slitta di circa un decimo di millimetro.
    Con questa slitta posso fare la messa a fuoco dell'oggetto semplicemente traslandola su o giù secondo le necessità.
    Credo che sia uno strumento indispensabile per chi come me si diletta con la macrofotografia.
