 CineSlider

 

The Kessler CineSlider™ is a heavy duty portable mini-dolly / linear slider system for camera rigs weighing up to 80 pounds or more. Weighing in at only 10 pounds, with a length of 40.5 inches, 5 inches wide, and a total camera travel distance or 35.5 inches, the CineSlider is a very portable solution to get those quick, smooth short-run dolly movements, without having to transport a large dolly system. Features include drag control and locking, handle with adjustable arc diameter for ultimate movement control, smooth rolling precision stainless steel ball bearing Delrin wheels, and multple mounting options.

The CineSlider™ can be center mounted flush to the Kessler Hercules 2.0 head to achieve panning and tilting movements, center mounted to a 100mm bowl tripod with the optional 100mm Ball Mount Kit, or support from both ends with a combination of a standard tripod / fluid head or lightstand or monopod.

Camera mounting options include the Quick Release Plate & Receiver that comes standard. Also included with the CineSlider™ is a 3/8" standard mounting bolt, for flat mounting a fluid head to the carriage. Optional mounting options include a 100mm Bowl High Hat (coming soon) and 100mm Ball Relocater.

We now offer a longer 5 Foot Long CineSlider™. Due to the length of the 5 foot CineSlider™, you will need to support the unit on both ends with tripods, lights stands, etc, or set it on a flat surface. Do not center mount the 5' Long CineSlider on a tripod. Both ends must be supported. If setting on the ground, we recommend the Outrigger Feet for the best support and stability. Due to the length, the 5' CineSlider can ONLY be shipped through UPS.

CineSlider F.A.Q.

A. No. You cannot center mount the CineSlider to any head, other than the Hercules head. With the Hercules head, you use two bolts that pass down through the body of the CineSlider into the solid aluminum top of the head for a rock solid connection. You can also center mount using our Revolution / CineSlider 100mm Ball Mount direct to 100mm or 75mm bowl tripod legs.

If you wish to use a standard video tripod head, you will need to screw your quick release plate in to one of the threaded holes at either end and then support the other end with a 2nd support of your choice (i.e. C-stand, tripod, etc).

The reason you can not use a standard video head to center mount is because if we put a threaded hole in the center and you tried to attach your quick release plate to it, when you slid your camera to one end the amount of lb./square inch of force would be so great it would strip the hole out and your camera could end up on the floor. Even if you had your set up light enough to not strip out the connection you would get a large amount of drop as you slide the camera down the rail, due to the compression of the rubber pad found on most quick release plates.
