Slidekamera X-SLIDER 1000

The Slidekamera X-SLIDER 1000 is a professional 1-metre camera slider designed for smooth, controlled linear camera movement with rigs weighing up to 20 kg. Its aluminium rail and robust carriage make it suitable for DSLR, mirrorless, cinema and broadcast camera setups, including configurations with larger lenses, matte boxes and accessories. The slider can be used directly on its side feet or mounted on compatible tripods and video supports, giving operators flexibility when working in studios, on location or in more complex rigging setups.

Smooth carriage movement on an aluminium rail

The X-SLIDER carriage runs on three bearing-supported rollers along a specially designed aluminium rail. This construction is intended to provide stable, consistent movement while keeping the camera platform rigid under load. The 1000 mm rail gives enough travel for controlled push-ins, pull-outs and lateral moves while remaining more manageable than longer slider systems during transport and setup.

20 kg payload for larger camera rigs

Slidekamera specifies a safety payload of 20 kg for the X-SLIDER. This makes it suitable not only for lightweight mirrorless cameras but also for more complete cinema builds that may include a professional video head, larger lens, wireless video system, follow focus or matte box. The wide 105 mm rail helps maintain rigidity and stability when the system is used with heavier configurations.

Flexible tripod and support mounting

The X-SLIDER 1000 includes two AF-8 lower mounting ports with both 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch threaded holes. These mounting points allow the slider to be attached directly to compatible tripods or video heads and make it easier to support the rail at more than one point when required. The carriage itself provides a 3/8-inch threaded hole together with additional 1/4-inch and M4 mounting points for camera heads and rigging accessories.

Brake system for controlled operation

The slider can be configured with Slidekamera’s parking brake or Smart Brake system. The parking brake locks the carriage in position when the camera should remain stationary, while the optional Smart Brake adds adjustable damping so the operator can increase resistance during a move. This can help achieve slower, more controlled manual slides and reduce sudden changes in carriage speed.

Suitable for manual and motion-control setups

Slidekamera designed the X-SLIDER as a platform that can also form the basis of an entry-level motion-control system. This makes it useful for traditional manually operated slider shots as well as more repeatable moves when compatible drive accessories are added. The combination of a high payload, multiple mounting points and modular accessories makes the X-SLIDER practical for interviews, product shots, commercials and narrative work.
