ProMaster Dovetail Macro Sliding Rail
Mfr SKU: 1802 | Helix SKU: PR18023
Overview:
The ProMaster Dovetail Macro Sliding Rail fits ProMaster tripods, heads, and gimbals that use the Dovetail Mounting System, as well as other Arca-type products. The base of the rail attaches to a dovetail tripod head and can be slid back and forth for best positioning.
Two dovetail clamps are connected to the base rail. The lower clamp slides along the rail to adjust the position of your camera and lens. The upper clamp acts as a quick release receiver for your camera to quickly connect to the system. The upper clamp can be mounted in one of four positions, allowing your camera or lens to be mounted in a front-to-back or side-to-side motion.
Multiple scales are etched into the Macro Sliding Rail to aid in repeatable setups.
This kit also includes a ProMaster 70mm Quick Release Plate (1795) which incorporate two removable safety bolts to prevent it from accidentally sliding out of the clamp.
This system is excellent for macro photography in which small movements to the camera's distance relative to the subject can be used to change focus, composition, and reproduction ratio.

ProMaster Dovetail Nodal Slider - 100mm
Mfr SKU: 1774 | Helix SKU: PR17743
Overview:
ProMaster’s Nodal Sliders are compatible with ProMaster tripods, heads, and gimbals that use the Dovetail Mounting System, as well as other Arca-type products.
A Nodal Slider allows a lens to slide backward and forward on a tripod head, so that the lens’ nodal point (sometimes called the “no-parallax point”) can be perfectly centered over the head. Centering the nodal point means you can rotate the camera and lens on the head without an unnatural arc in the panning movement. This helps photographers create perfectly stitched panoramics, but this movement can also be very helpful in video work.
A Nodal Slider can also be used to change the mounting direction of a camera by 90 degrees. Some tripod heads, like most gimbal heads, only allow front-to-back mounting of the QR plate. When using an L-Bracket or a QR plate that’s mounted in a side-to-side direction, a Nodal Slider will allow you to attach the camera to the gimbal without adjusting the plate or L-Bracket.
Features:
- Integrated bubble level
- Strap slot
- Sliding 1/4"-20 mounting bolt
- Numerous 1/4"-20 mounting ports
- Scales for repeatable setups
Specifications:
- Dimensions: 129 mm long x 38 mm wide
- Weight: 3 7/8 oz / 110 grams
