Using the AstrHori macro slider
The AstrHori Macro slider is listed on the AstrHori site at $119
As of April 2024 it’s available bundled with the 25mm macro lens fro $329
Fine movement control for macro photography
This review follows on from my recent review of the AstrHori 25mm f/2.8 2-5x macro lens
AstrHori Macro Slider used the 25mm macro on EOS RP
The camera/lens is mounted on the slide rail.
It gives two mechanisms for moving the camera backwards and forwards
It’s relatively easy to use, but as I note in the video, you do need to consider backlash and setting slide axis friction to get the smoothest of movement.
The feet are detachable.
It weighs some 560g and has a slide range of ~170mm.
