Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there an easy way to mount this slider on a tripod without half ball mount?

A: Yes, the Syrp Magic Carpet PRO Short Slider Kit with Extension (60") (B&H# SYKIT0021H) can be mounted on flat top tripods just as easily as it could be mounted on those with bowls and half balls. If your concern is the leveling of the slider, however, then please note that it may also be mounted directly on multiple tripods using tripod heads that are not mounted on half balls, too.

Q: 2. Is the carriage compatible with the carbon fiber tracks?

A: The Syrp Magic Carpet Pro carriage is not designed to be compatible with other track solutions other than the Syrp Magic Carpet pro tracks.

Q: 3. What are the difference between the PRO and the regular Carbon Fiber track? Is the flywheel worth the price difference?

A: The difference between the Syrp Magic Carpet Pro and Syrp Magic Carpet carbon slider is the Pro provides a flywheel carriage and 90mm quick release plate for rapid set up changes. The flywheel does help in how smooth the slider starts and stops when in motion.

Q: 4. Is there a center tripod mounting point? Or do you need to use two tripods or stands?

A: Yes, you may center mount it on a strong tripod or, depending upon weight of camera being used, you may use two separate tripods (one at each end) to mount the slider.

Q: 5. What is the actual travel distance of the 24” slider?

A: The Syrp Magic Carpet PRO Short Slider Kit (24") Has two track parts that are 24" so the travel is in fact 24" and can be extended with more track parts if needed.

Q: 6. Is this slider motorized along the track?

A: This kit does not include the motors. If you just want linear motion (up and down the track) then you will need Syrp Genie II Linear BH #SY00380003 • MFR #SY0038-0003 if you want both linear motion and pan/tilt then you will need to get Syrp Genie II 3-Axis Kit BH #SYKIT0001 • MFR #SYKIT-0001

Q: 7. Can the PRO Carriages be used on the original Genie slider tracks, or are these different diameter tubes?

A: The SYRP PRO Magic Carpet carriage only works with PRO parts. The original Magic Carpet slider is not compatible with the PRO line.

Q: 8. When purchasing the 36" Slider with 24" extension, can you switch out the 36" track and just use the 24" extension by itself?

A: Yes, on the Syrp Magic Carpet Pro Short Slider Kit with Extension (60-), each track extension can be used independently, or together for additional length.

Q: 9. What length of Magic Carpet can be safely mounted on a single tripod?

A: For a single tripod you would want to use just the 24" model. The longer models will require a 2nd stand at least.

Q: 10. What is needed to mount my Miller CX6 fluid head to this, please?
