This Rail is well made, it looks great and feels great. I like everything about it + the level buble. Will handle my 24-7mm lens.

Very pleased with the Koolehaoda 400mm Rail Plate! I'm actually using it to make a copy stand! This double Arca plate fits the bill and then some! The build quality is exceptional, with sturdy aluminum alloy construction that feels rock-solid. The dual rail design provides unparalleled rigidity for my project. The Arca Swiss compatibility is spot on, and the plate's smooth edges make it a joy to handle. At 400mm in length, this plate provides ample space for my camera and accessories. The included screws and Allen wrench are a nice touch, making it easy to secure the plate to my tripod or camera.

I bought this rail to take stereoscopic 3D photos, so I'm using it kind of "sideways" to how a focus rail is typically used. For my needs, it's been great. It has solid construction, all the hardware I needed (besides a tripod and camera) and doesn't take up much room in my camera bag. It has handy markings for distances and clamps down securely. It is Arca-Swiss mount, which is great for compatibility with other accessories, and comes with mounting plates included. I haven't tried other rails, and I'm sure there are nicer ones out there, but for the money and for what I use it for it's great.

This is a very reasonable, low-cost alternative to the pricey Kirk LRP-3 rail that Hudson Henry recommends for balancing long lenses and shooting panos with a fluid head. It also works in a pinch as a macro rail, although it doesn't have geared movement so it's a bit fiddly for that. The construction quality of the Koolehaoda pleasantly surprised me. The materials are very robust and the fit and finish is great. The screw knobs work smoothly, the clamps have a solid grip with no play, and the clamp slides on the rail smoothly. Rotating the clamp works easily and accurately. And the bubble level on my rail is right on the money. In addition, Koolehaoda has corrected two problems reported in earlier reviews. 1) The rail now has safety stop pins to keep the clamp sliding off. 2) The graduated markings on the top and front now line up properly so you get the same distance readings from both sides of the rail. These are really good fixes and show that Koolehaoda is listening and responsive to reviews. On the not-so-great side, the rail is just a tiny bit wider than Arca standard. It's not a problem if you have a screw-on Arca clamp, but the rail may not fit a lever-release Arca clamp unless the clamp's width is adjustable. This seems to be a common problem with inexpensive Chinese "Arca compatible" gear; it's like all the companies share the same slightly-inaccurate Arca specifications. A bigger issue: The sliding clamp is slightly off-center relative to the rail. This means that a long lens mounted by a collar/foot won’t be perfectly centered over the rail. And that will cause parallax error during a pano, which is a real shame since pano is one of the primary use cases for a rail like this. Now, there is workaround for this problem: Put an Arca plate that allows side-to-side positioning adjustment on the long lens' foot. And the included Arca plate does in fact have side-to-side adjustment. But it shouldn't be necessary - they should have just built it right. I'd be more bothered by this flaw if it hadn't been so cheap, but for this price I'll just deduct one star.

Very nicely machined and finished rail. Dual Arca-compatible dovetails fit all of my clamps perfectly. If you need a 9-1/2" nodal rail I'm sure you'd be very pleased with this one. I certainly am.

Love the stick. It holds three camera's and makes me look like I almost know what I'm doing.

Perfect for mounting Two Cameras or other hardware on One Tripod (once you get the thread adapters. Heavy-Duty and perfect for the tasks needed, and at a good price too. Easy to Use, functionally perfect, and no complaints here.
