Glidetrack SDS-075 Shooter SD

Description

The Glidetrack Shooter SD is a rarity in its product category – a camera slider that doubles up as a shoulder support. The weight and balance of the product makes it perfect for the newer breeds of DSLR’s that can shoot video, such as the Canon 550D/Rebel T2i, Nikon D90, Canon 5D Mk II, etc.

The SD will also comfortably take new video enabled Micro-Four Thirds cameras, e.g. the Panasonic GH1, G1/2 etc.

The dual functionality of the Shooter SD offers tremendous flexibility to the film-maker as you can operate and transfer from a tripod to a shoulder mounted or floor mounted setup easily and quickly. This aspect is made even more apparent considering how lightweight the Shooter is.

This makes the Shooter a completely unique product in the portable dolly market and for those looking to bring diversity and flexibility to their composition; the Shooter is the core piece of kit that will complement your setup. Make is a key part of your setup

Of course, as with any Glidetrack you can expect only the highest build quality using the best components we can source. In all, the Shooter combines both a camera slider and a shoulder support system into the perfect marriage of function and portability – offering you a complete package in one attractive product.

Glidetrack Shooter SD is based on a 10mm rail with a 40mm wide slider carriage. It is light and strong ; capable of handling kit up to 4kg. Whether you opt for the standard 1m version, the compact 75cm track or the super-compact 50cm, your Glidetrack Shooter will never jut beyond the overall footprint of your tripod.

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!
