DitoGear OmniSlider 1.5m

The DitoGear OmniSlider 1.5m is a motorized camera slider designed for controlled linear camera movement in video, timelapse and stop-motion production. Its 1.5-metre travel range makes it suitable for interviews, product shots, commercials, music videos and more complex motion-control work where repeatability is important. The system combines a rigid rail, motorized carriage and dedicated OmniController, allowing the operator to control speed, acceleration, direction and programmed movement without relying on purely manual slider operation.

1.5-metre motorized camera travel

The 1.5 m version provides approximately 1513 mm of usable carriage travel and has an overall length of around 1780 mm. This gives the camera enough distance for longer push-ins, pull-outs and lateral moves while remaining more manageable than the longest OmniSlider configurations. The rail is 70 mm wide and designed around an industrial linear-bearing carriage system for stable, repeatable movement.

Video, timelapse and stop-motion modes

OmniSlider supports several operating modes for both real-time and frame-based production. In video mode, the operator can control live camera movement and adjust speed and damping. The system also supports continuous timelapse, drive-shoot-drive timelapse and stop motion, allowing the carriage to move in programmed increments between exposures. This makes the slider useful for everything from standard cinematic moves to long-duration motion sequences.

Motion recording and repeatable playback

The OmniController allows the operator to record a movement and play it back later, including in real time, slow motion and stop-motion modes. Repeatable movement is especially valuable for compositing, visual effects, product work and shots that need to be recreated several times with different lighting, talent or camera settings. Speed and acceleration can be adjusted from the controller, helping create either soft gradual moves or faster transitions.

Controller with joystick and speed damping

The dedicated OmniController uses a four-direction joystick, an LCD display and separate controls for movement speed and speed damping. The damping control adjusts acceleration and deceleration, making it easier to achieve smooth starts and stops without abrupt changes in motion. The controller also provides access to track-length calibration, movement settings and stored motion functions.

Battery or mains-powered operation

The OmniSlider can be powered from compatible DitoGear battery packs or an AC/DC power supply, which makes it suitable for both studio and location work. The system is designed for horizontal use and can also be configured for diagonal or vertical operation when the load, support and motor configuration allow it. Because payload capacity varies between OmniSlider motor versions and operating angles, the camera setup should always be balanced and tested before vertical or inclined use.
