Macro Photography - The Manfrotto 454 Micropositioning Plate Review

If you are serious with your macro photography then you might want to consider some form of tripod fixture which allows you to focus the camera by "racking" the focus which is the preferred method rather than using the lens to focus when using high magnification. This is a review of the Manfrotto implementation of such a device, the 454 micropositioning plate. To facilitate quick mounting onto the tripod and camera to plate I recommend you employ quick release plates. The design is adequate for the purpose however the lack of thought in the engineering of this product means there is considerable side to side and up and down movement in the slide assembly which means positioning at high magnification is difficult. At over £60 in the UK this product is IMHO overpriced compared to other manufacturers products which have more features as well.
