The PMG-Duo 3-Wheel Pro Slider Carriage from ProMediaGear is a dual action slider carriage that features a straight and curved track in one slider body. The two tracks are CNC machined from a solid block of lightweight AL 6061-T6 aluminum. This slider can be used on a tabletop via the foldable legs on each side or attached to a tripod or tripods/light stands via standard threads in the middle or outside edges on both tracks. The sliding track consists of a clamp with 8 roller bearings inside 4 Delrin wheels (2 roller bearings per wheel), providing stability and low resistance for smooth motion. The carriage can be easily secured on the slider by simply tightening a knob. Loosening the knob allows you to remove the carriage from the slider. A second knob serves as a brake so the carriage won't move during transport.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have a Sony FS5 Video camera. Is it necessary to mount it on a head first, or can I mount it directly on the platform (I have never used a slider before)?

A: You can mount your camera on the slider either way. Your camera can be mounted directly to the carriage using the supplied 1/4-20 Mounting screw or mount a head with the supplied 3/8-16 mounting screw. Your moves will be limited without the flexibility of the head but the slider will work the same.

Q: 2. Does anyone know if this will work with a FLM CP34-L4 II 10X Carbon Fiber Series II Tripod?Thanks

A: no it does not appear that this will work with this tripod https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1514023-REG/flm_32_34_903_cp34_l4_ii_carbon_tripod.html/overview as the tripod does not seem to support a standard 75mm half ball

Q: 3. I'm looking to use this during an interview for my second, wide angle. Can anyone confirm that at the right distance from the subject as the camera pan from the curve, will the subject stay in the same framing? And if so, about what the distance from the subject is?

A: The VS32 PMG-Duo 32 slider is two sliders in one. The straight track is 32 in length. The curved side on the reverse has a radius of 72 or 6 feet. If you keep your subjects or objects centered at a distance of 72 or 6 feet the slider will move slightly around them. This adds a great touch of dynamic movement in your shot.

A: The Syrp Magic Carpet PRO End Caps and Carriage (B&H# SY00180019) does come with a carriage. That will allow you to replace the whole carriage.
