The PortaRail Speed Rail Camera Slider Rod from RigWheels is a 40" section rod designed for the PortaRail collapsible dolly/slider rail system. The rod is 40" long and can be screwed together via the threaded connectors. The rod is constructed of 6061 aluminum and designed to provide more rigidity. Each piece goes through a 6-step process that makes them straight and round for precision camera movement. You can add as many sections as you need for longer shots. This rod can also be used with other suspended or ground-rail systems that work with a 42mm outer diameter.
