![]() ![]() The slider itself gives you one axis of movement, but with the HeadPLUS, you can tilt your camera up and down, pan your camera left and right, and if you have a compatible lens, you can focus near and far. By adding this powerful motorized unit to the top of your slider, you can essentially move your camera along four different axes. The piece of gear I was most interested in using was the edelkrone HeadPLUS Pan and Tilt unit. Also, it can run on AC power in the studio but also DC power if you want to use it with batteries on location. If you are considering a new slider and the edelkrone fits your needs, I would definitely recommend adding a Slide Module to your slider. I've used and owned a few other motorized sliders over the years, and I really don't think I could ever go back to a manual slider ever again. edelkrone's Slide Module V2 is a motor you can add to many of their sliders that allows you to not only achieve perfectly smooth movements, but it also lets you program a continuous loop back and forth.Įntire system can be run on AC power or DC batteries Having your camera loop back and forth is extremely useful when filming an interview and you want to "set it and forget it" over the course of an hour or two. ![]() If you've ever tried to manually pull or push your camera across a set of slider rails, you know how difficult it can be achieving a perfect smooth motion. The biggest thing I always hated about some of the first sliders we ever owned was that it was near impossible to get a smooth, seamless sliding motion without the entire slider stuttering at some point. Having used the SliderPlus Long for a few weeks now, it's definitely hard going back to a longer slider that doesn't always fit in your camera backpack. I've never used an edelkrone slider before, but always remember thinking how well crafted this design was from their early Kickstarter campaigns and first generation sliders. SliderPLUS gives longer push in and pull out moves over traditional sliders Also because of this brilliant design, you can get more push-in and pull-out length, because the track actually retracts underneath the camera as the carriage moves towards the center of the rail.
