It’s small enough to get into tight spaces, yet long enough that it won’t limit your range of motion.

With the 4-Foot Slider, you have the option of being able to move the mounting from the standard center position to an offset position that extends the Slider’s reach.

The slider is structurally designed to prevent bending or twisting, and it can easily mount to vehicles or moving camera platforms. To create a second camera dolly, try setting it up on apple boxes, junior pins, or Mitchell mounts.  It can be inverted for difficult to reach, underslung angles, and with the Mitchell camera plate only 2.5 inches off the ground, you can rig it exceptionally low. The Original Slider’s 8-Foot Slider works surprisingly well for interior car shots. The Original Slider Co. suggests starting outside the driver door, sliding across the steering wheel, console and glove box, and finishing outside the passenger door.
