NiSi Macro Focusing Rails

A Focusing Rail is an essential accessory for macro photography as precision and stillness are vital when shooting at high magnification. Constructed in CNC machined aluminium and with a host of features usually found in more expensive rails, we have delivered a professional grade product at an everyday price.

You can use the rail on a table top or simply unscrew the feet and mount it to your tripod. The rail is compatible with the Arca-Swiss dovetail mount and the underside is compatible with ¾” and ¼” tripod mounts. Check out our Macro Focusing Rail NM-180s or the Macro Focusing Rail NM-200s to discover the impressive list of features that set this rails apart from other, pricier, rails.

4 Way Macro Focusing Rail

The perfect compatibility of the two slides allows unlimited freedom of movement, with top of the range features, high quality and an irresistible price thanks to the NiSi model.
