Miops Slider+ automated focus rail

Post by 4odonates »

Does anyone have experience using the Miops Slider+ automated focus rail?

After watching several YouTube videos related to the Miops Slider+, I'm wondering whether it's a viable alternative to the Cognisys Stackshot or WeMacro automated focus rails.

Thanks for your advice,
Walter

As an aside, it's worth noting that Wolf's video includes an excellent review of the strengths/weaknesses of focus stacking using Adobe Photoshop, Helicon Focus, and Zerene Stacker. You'll never guess which one was rated best. ;-)
