INTRODUCTION The Proaim Smart Video camera Slider that allows your camera to have an extremely smooth and sliding motion. The Robust slider features greased ball bearings on the rail top and at an angle on both sides of the slider platform, hugging the rail to prevent wobbling during operation. The spring-equipped friction knob enables precise weight and tension adjustments, and a brake knob sets the sliding rail in one place. The tabletop legs are integrated and fold back flat against the rails when you’re ready to pack the slider away, so you won’t have to spend time removing them. Using the supplied hexagon wrench, you can easily adjust the pushing force that the ball bearing exerts on the rail. For tripod mounting, a dual base clamp is included that has a 75mm bowl base design with a flat bottom. It allows direct compatibility with both bowl base and flat base tripods. IN THE BOX Please inspect the contents of your shipped package to ensure you have received all that is pictured and listed below.
Note : The slider is available in 2ft ,3ft and 4ft. You will get the slider according to your purchase.
