Questions & Answers▲
What is the travel distance of the VariZoom VariSlider VSM1-T?
The usable travel distance is 119 cm. The total length of the slider track is 137 cm, with the remaining length accommodating the carriage and end stops.
How much weight can the slider support?
In its standard upright position, the slider supports a load capacity of over 50 kg. When used in the inverted position, the maximum load capacity is reduced to 20 kg.
Can the slider be used upside down?
Yes, the slider can be operated in both the normal and the inverted position. When inverted, the maximum payload is up to 20 kg, so heavier camera setups should only be used in the standard orientation.
Which bowl mount sizes are compatible?
The slider is compatible with 75 mm and 100 mm bowl heads as well as Mitchell Mount. The set includes two 100 mm bowl adapters, making it ready for use with common professional tripod and fluid head systems out of the box.
Is the slider motorisation-ready?
Yes, the VSM1-T is prepared for motorisation and motion control applications. Motor and motion control components can be added as needed, making it suitable for time-lapse, automated camera moves, and similar production scenarios.
Can the track length be extended beyond 137 cm?
Yes, the slider is part of the modular VSM series and can be extended with additional track sections. This allows the travel distance to be increased beyond the standard 119 cm for longer camera moves.
How much does the slider weigh?
The slider weighs approximately 8 kg. This makes it substantial enough for stable professional use while still being transportable between locations.
What materials is the slider made from?
The slider is constructed from aluminium and steel. The combination provides a balance between low overall weight and the structural rigidity needed to handle payloads exceeding 50 kg.
Is a transport or carrying case included?
Yes, a padded carrying bag is included in the scope of delivery, allowing safe transport of the slider and its components between shoots or studio locations.
Can the slider be used on an incline?
Yes, the slider can be set up and operated on an incline. The flexibly adjustable legs and stable feet with steel balls help maintain a secure and level carriage path even on uneven or angled surfaces.
Are the carriage rollers replaceable?
Yes, the precision-machined carriage features replaceable rollers. This allows worn components to be exchanged without replacing the entire carriage, extending the serviceable life of the slider in professional production environments.
Can the carriage be locked in place for transport?
Yes, the carriage can be locked in the end position, which prevents it from moving freely along the track during transport and helps protect both the carriage and the rail surface.
