The compact 48-inch slider provides multiple modes of operation and allows you to get smooth, short-run dolly shots with payloads up to 50lbs. The slider has a unique flywheel belt-drive system that aids in attaining smoother ramped moves by dialing in the preferred resistance based on the weight of your camera. Remove the flywheel for lightweight or feather-touch moves, or use the crank (included) to operate. Add a motion control accessory, and take advantage of the smooth belt drive for time-lapse shooting. The center mounting point is a 5" x 5" plate that evenly distributes weight to mount to a 3/8"-16 thread tripod. The slider can be mounted to tripods or light stands by utilizing its many ¼"-20 and 3/6"-16 mounting points at the end or center plate. Additionally there is a 5/8" stand mount receiver integrated at both ends for securely mounting to c-stands or baby stands. Individually adjustable outrigger feet help level the slider for ground level shooting.
