3. Introduction
Our very compact and lightweight Carbon Fiber Slider was developed by Nico
Engel and is ideally suited for creating moving time-lapse and video recordings.
The completely newly developed motor quick-release mount allows the
changing of motors without additional tools and within seconds. In addition,
the slider can also be operated manually without a motor.
Arca-Swiss profiles are milled into both sides of the slider, which allow mounting
the Slider to tripods without additional clamps in a simple way.
The basic version of the slider is approx. 60cm in length. This is optimal to
transport the slider in a suitcase for travelling. In addition, we also offer a slider
with a length of 100cm.

6. Setup
With the help of the adjustable legs, the slider can be set up on many surfaces
even without a tripod. Adjust the feet so that the slider is stable and does not
shake. Loosen the blue knobs to adjust the legs and turn the knobs back
tightly as soon as you are done with the alignment.
For mounting on tripods, there are milled Arca-Swiss profiles on both sides of
the slider (4 separate profiles in total). These are aligned to all sides (see pictures
below).
