How it works

Motorised movement system
The included motor mounts to the carriage and drives movement via a belt system, delivering consistent motion for both video and timelapse.

A/B point programming
Set start and end points using the onboard controls or mobile app. This allows repeatable slides, looped movement, and precise shot planning.

Timelapse control
Adjust interval, frame rate, exposure timing, and other parameters via the app to create controlled motion timelapse sequences.

Manual or motorised use
The quick-release belt and removable motor let you switch to full manual operation when needed.

Multi-axis motion integration
Pair with compatible Zhiyun gimbals directly, or DJI gimbals via an optional Interlink module, enabling coordinated multi-axis movement from the same app.

Mounting and stability

• 3/8"-16 mounting screw on the carriage for heads
• 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for tripod mounting
• Adjustable feet for levelling on uneven surfaces
