Q: 1. I have Manfrotto 488RC4 ballhead with that RC4 quick release system. Will this railing snap on as is? The two answers below seemed to be contradictory.

A: This rail is not quick release ready, you would just screw your existing qr plate into the bottom of this rail.

Q: 2. What is the total distance of travel that this device will allow?

A: 4 1/2 inches is the total range of movement

Q: 3. The groove for adjusting camera position is asymettrical on the plate. Why? Which is the front end?

A: The knob to adjust fore and aft positioning in the Manfrotto 454 Micrometric Positioning Sliding Plate is usually placed on the left of the camera so that you can take photos with your right hand and control the fore and aft with your left hand.

Q: 4. How would I mount it to a tripod?

A: The tripod plate can mount directly to the bottom of a dovetail.

Q: 5. What is the distance per full turn of the knob? Thanks

Q: 6. can i mount arca swiss clamp on rail?

A: If you are referring to connecting a camera with an Arca-type quick release plate to the top of the Manfrotto 454 Micrometric Positioning Sliding Plate, then as long as the quick release plate you own also has a female-threaded 1/4"-20 socket on the bottom of the plate, it would be compatible for your usage needs. Not all Arca-type quick release plates have 1/4"-20 threads on the base of the plate, so it will depend on your specific quick release plate as to if it would be compatible for your usage needs. If you are referring to using a separate accessory quick release clamp that is Arca-compatible, they all usually have either a 1/4"-20 or a 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the base of the unit, so they should be compatible. If your quick release clamp uses the larger 3/8"-16 socket, you can purchase a reducer bushing such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039, for your usage needs.

A: There are many remotes for the D90. This is a wired remote for the D90, http://bhpho.to/1alWxywAnd this is a wireless version, http://bhpho.to/1cm0HdBA lens ring can either be a reverse ring to attach two lenses together for macro photography or it could mean a Macro ring light.

Q: 9. Camera mount screw

A: Look at the O end of the slot in the mounting plate. Its very slightly wider than the rest of the slot and faintly threaded. The mounting screw just screws in from the bottom of the plate here.
