Proaim Flyking Precision Camera Slider Overview
This 4' long Flyking Precision Camera Slider with 100mm Bowl from Proaim provides you with the capability for smooth slides supporting up to 154 pounds of fluid head and camera gear. The slider has 3.3' of slider travel on 8 precision ball bearings, which are coated with a lubricant that bonds to the bearings for silent operation. This makes the slider suitable for use while recording audio in quiet scenes. The carriage incorporates spring-loaded shock absorbers to help prevent sudden stops when reaching the end of the track. The Flyking Slider features smooth 360° in-shot panning on the Mitchell legs, unlike most sliders, which require the slider to be mounted on a fluid head. The Flyking mounts directly to the Mitchell mounting plate on your tripod legs. Additionally, four adjustable height legs are included with the slider.
The slider's 154-pound load capacity is made possible by the precision-machined aluminum rails that the carriage travels along. The rails feature a Mitchell fitting that enables mounting the slider on a set of tripod legs with a Mitchell mount. The slider includes two crossbar track ends, which allow you to mount a quick release plate so you can support the slider on two tripods, one on each end. The track ends also feature 5/8" mounting holes for mounting the slider on two separately available C-stands. The side of the slider track incorporates imperial and metric markings, and the slider carriage features a pointer, which, in conjunction with the side markings, allows you to note where the carriage is on the track so you can make repeatable sliding moves.
The Flyking Slider's bearings feature a bonded lubricant. This helps keep the slider rolling smoothly and quietly. The lubricant chemically bonds to the bearings, which means that it doesn't flow off the bearings due to gravity when the slider is not being used, allowing the slider to start smoothly from a standing position.
The CNC-machined precision rails support up to 154 pounds of tripod head and camera rig, easily accommodating most larger digital cinema cameras with lens, matte box, and accessories.
The slider features both a sliding lock and a pan lock
The slider carriage incorporates a 100mm bowl mount and comes with a 75mm conversion ring.
When using the included legs to support the rails, the slider has a minimum height of 8.27" and a maximum height of 14.37". This provides just over 6" of height adjustment, which you can use to level the slider on uneven terrain.
The rails feature 360° pan capability, allowing you to simultaneously pan and slide during the shot. The built-in collar breaks lock the slider into any position.
