The Libec ALX S8 is a 32.6" long camera slider that features an integrated 75mm ball base with a flat bottom, allowing it to be mounted directly to 75mm bowl fluid heads as well as flat-base heads. When used on tabletop or flat surface using, the slider has a maximum load capacity of 33 lb. For smooth and wobble-free operation, the carriage features eight roller bearings positioned on the rail top and along the sides at angles. A spring-loaded friction knob allows you to adjust slide tension, while a brake knob will lock the carriage in place at any point on the rails. Using a supplied hexagon wrench, you can adjust the pushing force that the ball bearing exerts on the rail.

At each end of the slider, there are 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and a rosette for attaching various accessories. If you will be using the slider on the ground or tabletop, the slider features built-in legs with height-adjustable feet to accommodate non-level terrain. For compact storage, the legs fold up against the side of the slider, securing in place using thumb knobs. Unscrewing the knobs completely allows you to detach the legs completely and swap out the 32.6" rail for separately available 15.5" or 47" rail lengths.

Q: 7. Hi does anyone tried this slider with the c500 ? would you recommend it for that camera?

A: I have been nothing but pleased with this rig with my EOS 7D and the C500 - the only trick is that the C500 is Heavy and would need an additional tripod at the end of the travel of the slide or it might tilt. Some use 2 ALX system tripods either end, but I just used mine with the ALX in the center with a static old lighting tripod screwed into one end ( 1/4 20thread holes on both ends ) Most efficient, compact and performance based excellence in my whole kit. Keep the Slider Rails Clean ( !!) and you'll be amazed at the heavy-duty fluid head for Very smooth moves. Practice and enjoy!

Q: 8. Will this head fit properly on the Miller solo DV Tripod ?

A: It is best to stick with heads/legs made by the same manufacturer to guarantee the best fit. Your combination will work as long as both the head and legs are 75mm ball compatible but a Miller head will typically have more range to level the head and lock down tighter on Miller legs than a Libec head (and same goes for a Miller head with Libec legs).

Q: 9. is this the same plate that is on the Libec hands free monopode kit with TH-X Pan tilt video head?

A: Yes it is. According to Libec this system and the TH-X Head will be cross compatible.

Q: 10. Do we need to remove the battery from the body to use this grip? Thanks.

A: Yes, the Vello BG-S8 Battery Grip for Sony a6600 comes with a battery pack adapter. That needs to be inside the battery chamber of the Sony A6600 for the grip to work, so you need to remove the battery that you have in the camera and use the battery pack adapter that comes with the grip.
