NiSi NISI-NM-180S Reviews

The top is fairly loose

By William

Contrary to what some other reviewers say, the top is fairly loose on the top rail. Plan on having to align photos. There is a knurled knob to tighten the top onto the rail, but then you can't move it without loosening again (causing it to move). You can't get the full 160mm of travel because the top runs into the larger knob. 120mm is max (see photo).

Total precision
