I have built a large and heavy device that contains three fast focusing rails, two for front and back advance and one for side shift, plus another fine lead screw system.
The camera plus the macro accessories are mounted on a two point sustaining system, and the two rails for the front and back advance is to additionally provide a weight balance to the whole toy (close to 3kg without the tripod, camera, lens and other accessories).

The portability is very discutable, but is fun to play with the whole toy.
