Glidetrack SD - 0.5 Metres Further Details

Glidetrack SD main features

  • Use it with a single or double-tripod set-up, or standalone on its custom-made scratch-free feet.
  • The carriage can be locked in position using the small adjuster on the side of the carriage.
  • Crane type moves. By mounting your Glidetrack at one end, you can do pseudo crane moves on the fly.
  • Set-up is a matter of seconds, and then you’re ready to shoot professional grade video from your existing DSLR kit.

The Glidetrack SD is based on a 10mm rail with a 40mm wide slider car. It is light and strong – capable of handling kit up to 4kg. At the heart of the Glidetrack system lies an industrial grade rail and bearing system. The rail is made of hard anodized aluminium and the bearings themselves are of industrial grade self lubricating plastic that makes them extremely insensitive to dirt and dust ingress and corrosion resistant, which cannot be said of traditional bearing systems. The bearings are extremely hard wearing and are rated to run for many thousands of kilometres of travel before needing replaced. Your elbow will wear out before they do!

Comments about Glidetrack SD - 0.5 Metres:

Brilliantly simple idea, and easy to use.

The metal rail is a nice piece and the feet are stable. With 2 sizes of threaded hole underneath it will mount to most tripods and chuch a small head on top for ultimate control.

Could be longer, but then it would cost more and not be so transportable,

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Glidetrack SD - 0.5 Metres:

    I work as a videographer for a professional downhill mountain bike team, so i purchased the Glidetrack SD to create more interesting shots. I use it with a Canon 5D MK II and a Canon 60D

    Initially, i had a few issues setting up the Glidetrack. I found that the bolt on the bottom of the sliding plate caught on the tripod bolt, meaning that there was a jolt halfway along the slider. I solved this easily though by putting a washer in between the tripod and the rail.

    Another problem i had was that the motion wasnt that smooth to start with, and there was to much resistance in to get a smooth shot. Again this was easily solved though, i simply sprayed the rail with a bit of GT85 and slightly loosened the allen key bolts on each corner of the slide plate.

    Once i had solved these minor issues the Glidetrack worked flawlessly. The 0.5m length is spot on, and enables me to create shots that look like high budget bike film shots. You can also use it as a stabilisation shoulder rig if you slide the camera to one end, point it forwards and put the other end on your shoulder.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
