3D Shape Engineering Motorized Camera Slider
Documentation & Instructions
Setting up the slider on the ground or on a tripod.
The slider comes with 4 M5 bolt legs that are adjustable to level the slider when
shooting on a surface without a tripod. The slider plate has a spirit bubble level
which can be used to level the slider when the plate is in the middle of the track. The
slider can also be set at an angle up to 90 degrees. Make sure to secure the slider
when doing this to avoid damage.
Thee slider has 3 ¼”-20 threaded holes on the bottom of the track. It can be held up
with one heavy duty tripod in the middle, or two lighter duty tripods on both sides.
Using a single lighter duty tripod to hold it up can lead to instability and possible
damage to the tripod and / or slider.
Securing the Slider Plate while idle / not in use.
When the batteries are installed and the motor is not running, the electronics
module will still send current to the motor to hold it into place. While power is
applied to the electronics module, do not manually move the slider plate or you risk
damaging the motor / electronics.
Before removing the batteries from the electronics module, make sure to tension
the stopper bolt on the side of the slider plate. Failure to tighten the stopping bolt
can lead to the slider plate moving / shifting suddenly as well as possible damage to
your camera equipment. Make sure to loosen the stopping bolt when you resume
use, as to not damage the motor, belt or electronics.
