How it works

Motorised slider system
The included motor attaches to the carriage and drives movement via a quick-release belt, ensuring smooth and consistent motion across the full length of the slider.

A/B motion programming
Define start and end points via the onboard controls or mobile app. This enables repeatable slides, looped motion, and controlled shot timing.

Timelapse control
Adjust key parameters such as interval timing, frame count, and exposure through the app to create motion timelapse sequences with precision.

Manual or motorised flexibility
The motor and belt can be removed quickly, allowing the slider to be used manually when required.

Multi-axis integration
Compatible with selected Zhiyun gimbals directly, and DJI gimbals via an optional Interlink module, enabling coordinated motion across multiple axes.

Mounting and support

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

Why choose this product
