Special features
One of this special feature is the
Telescopic Magnetic Side Support
. This device eliminates the need to
use two tripod or stand stile of support to perform a rock solid full length sliding shot. It’s a revolutionary
solution which is simple, do not add any bulk to your set up, while it is always at hand on the side of
your slider’s centre support.
(Note: please, read about the physical properties of this magnets in the “Safety notes”
In case you have one of the “
R
” variant slider you can take advantage of a very special feature which is
pioneered by Wood-Comp. You can have
Auto tracking
on your subject or talent or can do panoramic
sort of a rotation while the sliding move. How is done? Simple.. Your slider is equipped with a cross-bar
between the main rails as well as turning table built into the carriage of your slider.
Perform a (centre orientated) tracking shot. Make sure that when you stand behind your slider you have
the cross-bar adjusting/locking plate on your Right-Hand Side!
No1: Move your camera on the
carriage to the Left-Side of slider
and by adjusting only your ball
head, set the 1st key frame of
your shot.
(Note:
Lock the ball head)
No2: Now, move your camera to
the Right-Side of the slider. A
t this
time the cross bar still parallel to the
rails..
(
Note: live some room for your
fingers to adjust the Cross-bar)
No3: Now only by adjusting the
Cross-bar up and down, find
your 2nd key frame.
Lock the
Cross-bar (
Note: only finger tight)
and
you are all set for your tracking
shot.
Now, when you move your camera along the rail, is continuously tracking your selected subject or
talent.
Note: your slider don’t need to be perpendicular to your shot, it can be in any angle on the horizontal field as well as
you can do vertical shots too, for example doing a vertical slide using the “Panoramic” rotation feature, key framing between
the shoes and the upper part of the dress.
