Carbon Fiber Road Bike Slider

What's in the box: 18" carbon slider, smartphone mount, two hex wrenches, 3/8 thread adapter, carrying case. There's also a small motorized slider, but you always forget it charge. Wanted something much bigger to travel with and no motor. and in a soft carrying case. Use the Allen keys provided and make sure everything is snug and secure before using. The tote bag should have handles on the long side and a metal zipper. Pocket. All four legs have 3 main parts: rubber ball, red aluminum dial, threaded bolt. Simply turn the red dial and rubber ball counter-clockwise and you'll lengthen your foot. Lock your foot by turning the red dial. clockwise after you set your size. The legs can also be adjusted to the desired position. A nice feature is that the two rails have rubber protection on the left and right. My larger slider will just tumble to the side, not this one. to mount a variety of cameras weighing up to 22 lbs. The largest camera I've used weighed less than 5 pounds. The plate also has a built in bubble level which is really very useful. The end rails also have 1/4" and 3/8" screw holes. (Smartphone mount) Has two mounts for vertical and horizontal shooting. The holder also holds my smartphone with a hard case. The entire slider with accessories and case weighs only 2 pounds. (Tips) Inside or outside. Store the hex wrenches and 3/8 screw adapter in the carry case. Be sure to use a sturdy tripod, if not be sure to weight the tripod. My smaller tripod has a sandbag hook on the bottom post and does the job well. The floor is carpeted and you will notice a slight camera shake. If you're using a slider on a table, make sure the table is stable again, or find a better workspace. I have found that shooting at 60 fps is better than shooting at 30. For the smooth movement I wanted. Easy to set up and pack away when you're done. Compact and ideal for on the go. This smaller slider has no branding, the larger ones have a logo and brand name. This slider can be used for different styles of video (close-up). Shots of food, food, nature, etc.) I hope this was helpful.
