How it works

Carbon fibre rail and bearing system
The slider uses a carbon fibre rail with 16 bearings to ensure smooth, consistent motion. This helps eliminate micro-judder and keeps movement clean for video and timelapse work.

Motorised control system
The included motor attaches directly to the slider and is controlled via onboard buttons or the YC Onion app. A control knob allows stepless speed adjustment, while the LCD screen displays key settings.

Manual and motorised switching
A quick-attach belt system allows you to switch between manual operation and motorised movement instantly, giving you flexibility on set without re-configuring your rig.

ARRI support legs
The adjustable legs feature a spherical design and 360° positioning, helping stabilise the slider on uneven surfaces such as grass, rocks, or sand.

Motion modes and creative control
Using the follow focus bar and app control, you can create:

• Parallel slides for clean tracking shots
• Parallax movement for depth and separation
• Panoramic motion for wider scene coverage

Multi-axis integration
When paired with compatible DJI or ZHIYUN stabilisers (and optional Interlink module for certain DJI models), the system can be expanded for coordinated multi-axis movement.
