Re: Anyone Doing Field Stacking With a Rail?

Hello! I am using the "all-in-one" macro rail of my development. As for me is it best solution for field macrophotography - portable, with build-in battery and with step from 1/1000mm to 10mm. You can find more information about my rails here https://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&...

Re: My workshop (ideas and projects)

Thanks for your feedback!
So far, I decided not to make a separate site for the project, but to create an FB page and YouTube channel.
I am currently working on a new firmware with an improved interface. I'm open for custom macrophoto solutions and ideas (rails, stages etc)

Re: My workshop (ideas and projects)

Macro rails with video-mode. Some of my clients work in advertising photography and it is important for them to have a universal device - for stacking and for close-up video (food photography, jewelry photography). For them, I developed a hybrid of a slider and a macro rail with a long travel dista...

All my life I worked as a designer and a programmer - identity, web, animation, games etc. And all my works was digital. However, I always dreamed of working with my hands and constructing different hardware. Some years ago, one of my friends ask me to construct a slider for videography. This pushed...

Re: Laser aiming and focus in photomacrography

Very useful idea and device. Some days ago I broke my eyes with MP-E 65 5x magnification an outdoor photo session. Very difficult to point objects when the live-view screen is blurry. I developed several versions of 3D printed laser pointers for my Canon and Nikon cameras. I used 5mw D=6mm laser mod...

Thank you!
You can use this battery (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12-in-3 ... 10408.html) to power your setup and add silicone case for weather protection. But wires is realy big problem for outdoor macro.

The belt reduces stepper motor vibration. And makes the rig design easier :)
