Thats lovely details Mike, nice

Thanks! Apperciate it.

Not sure what you meant by two rails, was that to allow travel in two dimensions ? Sounds complicated 🤔

Here you are: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66737033

Literally the mechanical part of one rail hacked onto the motorized part of another. The above post on Dpreview documented the job.

I like your approach of using two things that don’t work to make one that does 👍, as it happens just before looking in dpr I was watching a review of another motorised rail, and that too didn’t work (it wobbles). I’m sorta glad my camera has inbuilt stacking and it’s only the faffing around on my ball head tripod that’s annoying to get that initial point aligned and in focus. Now it’s working for you I suggest a trip to the florist for more subjects…
