This 2' long ProAim Flyking Precision Camera Slider with Mitchell Mount provides you with the capability for smooth slides supporting up to 154 pounds of fluid head and camera gear. The slider has 15" of slider travel on 8 precision ball bearings, which are coated with a lubricant that bonds to the bearings for silent operation. This makes the slider suitable for use while recording audio in quiet scenes. The carriage incorporates spring-loaded shock absorbers to help prevent sudden stops when reaching the end of the track. The Flyking Slider features smooth 360° in-shot panning on the Mitchell legs, unlike most sliders, which require the slider to be mounted on a fluid head. The Flyking mounts directly to the Mitchell mounting plate on your tripod legs. Additionally, four adjustable height legs are included with the slider.

The slider's 154-pound load capacity is made possible by the precision-machined aluminum rails that the carriage travels along. The rails feature a Mitchell fitting that enables mounting the slider on a set of tripod legs with a Mitchell mount. Make sure your tripod legs can support the weight of the slider, fluid head, and camera rig. The slider includes two crossbar track ends, which allow you to mount a quick release plate so you can support the slider on two tripods, one on each end. The track ends also feature 5/8" mounting holes for mounting the slider on two C-stands. The side of the slider track incorporates imperial and metric markings, and the slider carriage features a pointer, which, in conjunction with the side markings, allows you to note where the carriage is on the track so you can make repeatable sliding moves.

The slider features 15mm rails set roughly 9.45" apart, and the carriage features a bubble level.

The Flyking Slider's bearings feature a bonded lubricant. This helps keep the slider rolling smoothly and quietly. The lubricant chemically bonds to the bearings, which means that it doesn't flow off the bearings due to gravity when the slider is not being used, allowing the slider to start smoothly from a standing start.

The CNC-machined precision rails support up to 154 pounds of Tripod head and camera rig, easily accommodating most larger digital cinema cameras with lens, matte box, and accessories.

The rails feature a Mitchell plate for mounting on a set of tripod legs with a Mitchell mounting plate. The rails also feature 360° pan capability, allowing you to simultaneously pan and slide during the shot. Please note the pan function is only available when using the slider's Mitchell mount; if you support the slider via the threaded mounting holes or the baby-pin receiver on the crossbar ends you cannot pan the slider track.

The slider carriage incorporates a Mitchell mounting plate that accepts tripod heads with Mitchell plates. The carriage's Mitchell mounting features four key ways, which makes it quicker to mount your head.

When using the included legs to support the rails, the slider has a minimum height of 6.69" and a maximum height of 9.06". this provides just over 2.25" of height adjustment, which you can use to level the slider on uneven terrain.

The slider features both a sliding lock and a pan lock.
