Edelkrone SliderPLUS v5 PRO LONG

Edelkrone SliderPLUS v5 PRO LONG is a heavy-duty camera slider designed to provide long, smooth tracking moves while remaining compact enough for regular production use. Its defining feature is Edelkrone’s moving-rail design: instead of the camera carriage simply travelling along a fixed rail, the rails themselves move during the shot. This allows the slider to produce a much longer effective camera move than its physical length would suggest, which is particularly useful on commercials, product shoots, interviews, music videos and narrative productions where space on set is limited.

Up to 88 cm of travel from a 63.7 cm slider

When mounted on a tripod, the PRO LONG version provides up to 88 cm of camera travel despite measuring only 63.7 cm in length. When placed directly on a table, floor or another stable surface, the available travel is approximately 43 cm. This dual-length behaviour is one of the main advantages of the SliderPLUS design: the tripod-mounted configuration maximises movement, while the surface-mounted mode offers a compact and stable setup for product shots, tabletop work or low-angle camera moves.

High load capacity for cinema rigs

The slider is rated for loads up to 9.07 kg when mounted on a tripod and up to 18.14 kg when used on a stable surface. This makes it suitable for more than lightweight mirrorless cameras. Depending on the support setup, it can handle cinema bodies, larger lenses, matte boxes, follow-focus systems and external monitoring accessories. The PRO version is therefore a practical choice when a production needs smooth slider movement without stripping the camera rig down to its minimum configuration.

Manual slider with motion-control expansion

SliderPLUS v5 PRO LONG is a manual slider in its basic configuration, but it is designed to work with Edelkrone’s optional Slide Module v3 for motorized motion control. Adding the module makes programmed moves and time-lapse operation possible and also allows the slider to become part of a larger Edelkrone system with motorized pan, tilt or focus accessories. Without the motor module, the slider remains a straightforward mechanical tool for manually controlled tracking shots.

Production-oriented mechanical design

The slider uses an aluminum and stainless-steel body with an aluminum rail and a roller-bearing sliding system. Practical features include lockable fold-out legs, an instant-lock button for the carriage, quick-release magnetic belt clips and a retractable 3/8″-16 mounting screw for attaching a camera head. A 3/8″-16 female thread on the underside allows the slider to be mounted on a suitable tripod or support system. At approximately 1.84 kg, it remains relatively portable considering its load capacity and available camera travel.
