Product Description
The Hejnar Photo 6.00-inch Multipurpose Rail with Built-In Bubble Level and Accessory Ports is an original design created for photographers who require maximum versatility and precise equipment control. This double-dovetail rail functions as an extremely rigid foundation for specialized workflows, providing technical expansion points not found on standard mounting plates.
Advanced Rig Building & Applications:
This modular component serves as a multi-tool for several creative fields. It functions flawlessly as a precision Macro Rail for technical focus stacking or as a highly adjustable Lens Plate for establishing the perfect center of gravity on telephoto systems. For intricate macro and close-up lighting setups, it acts as a rigid base for single or multiple Flash Support brackets when combined with cold shoe mounts. It is also an excellent track to build a robust Long Lens Support system when combined with a front lens support plate.
Innovative Expansion Ports:
What sets this rail apart is its comprehensive accessory accommodation. The rail end features a 1/4-20 tapped hole paired with two 5mm dowel pin openings. This specialized configuration allows you to mount a quick-release clamp directly to the end of the rail, utilizing the pins to completely block any rotation or twisting under heavy loads. Additionally, the length of the rail features M3 tapped holes along each side, allowing photographers to install custom safety stop bars, guide blocks, or custom bracket hardware. Machined in the USA from solid aluminum, this rail offers the exact tolerances and structural stiffness required for professional equipment support.
