MPR-CL Nodal Slide Rails

Overview

MPR-CL

The MPR-CL is a double dovetail rail with an integrated clamp. Use this as a balancing rail for your DSLR camera on our FH-350 Fluid Head, a nodal slide for our panorama gear, or as a platform for our flash rings with non-collared lenses.

MPR-CL II

The Multi-Purpose Rail with an Integral Clamp (MPR-CL II) is our second-generation "standard" nodal slide rail with integral clamp. At 7.4" (189mm) long, the MPR-CL II provides no-parallax point positioning for non-collared lenses from 16mm and up on a full frame (35mm) camera. The built-in screw-knob style clamp allows mounting a camera body fitted with any Really Right Stuff camera base plate or L-Plate, with center reference marks for precise alignment. A built-in spirit level at the front end provides high visibility leveling indication. A laser-engraved scale on either side allows for precise positioning relative to the reference mark in the clamp below.

The MPR-CL II can also be very useful as a mounting rail for our orbital style (B-Series/FR-Series) when using non-collared lenses. The rail clamps to the camera plate and extends forward below the lens where the flash bracket can.

Features

MPR-CL

• R-Lock incorporation
• Double dovetail rail accepts Arca-Type clamps on the top and bottom
• Laser-engraved scale in 1mm increments on both sides for ease of repetition in setting your no-parallax point
• Fixed clamp accepts left to right oriented plates, i.e. camera plates
• Use as a nodal slide for most mirrorless and ultra-wide angle lens set-ups or when the no-parallax point is less than 3.3"/ 84mm from sensor
• Use as a balancing rail for your DLSR on our FH-350 Fluid Head
• Use as mounting rail for your RRS or Wimberley flash brackets

MPR-CL II

• R-Lock incorporation
• RRS-style (Arca-Swiss) dovetails on top and bottom for increased mounting options
• Precision laser-engraved millimeter scale on both sides allows precise positioning at the no-parallax point
• Integral screw-knob clamp jaw accepts left/right facing dovetail plates and L-Plates
• 7.4" (189mm) length offers sufficient range for most non-collared lenses from 16-100mm (full-frame 35mm equivalent)
• Built-in "bulls-eye" style spirit level gives accurate and highly visible level indication
• Front and back safety stop screws prevent accidentally sliding out of a RRS clamp jaw while adjusting
