Description
In a very compact design—just 33cm long—the Zeapon Micro 2 Rail Slider allows you to perform smooth manual slides across a travel distance of 53cm. It's small enough to fit in most bags, and it can be used for close-up and mid-range shots with loads up to 7.9kg.
The Micro 2 achieves its extended length travel via a dual-slide design. The slider works at the push of your hand. As you manually push the rails, the belt in the center pulls the camera platform a distance of 28cm. At the same time, the rails themselves move in the same direction but at a slower pace. Ultimately, after the camera platform reaches the end of its road, the rails will still be moving, until they reach the end of their road. Altogether, you get 53cm of movement, about double the length of the handy slider. And at no point do the rails and camera platform overlap in such a way that rails are picked up by the lens. Also, all the movement is achieved with fluid-damping-based friction technology which ensures that the motion is smooth and consistent, in accordance with how much pressure you apply when pushing.
The slider offers a 1/4"-20 mounting screw where you can attach a 1/4"-20 compatible ball head or tripod head. On the bottom, it provides a 3/8"-16 tripod mount thread, and a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 reducer is included, so you get compatibility with just about all tripods and other camera supports on the market. The Micro 2 slider can be used mounted on a tripod horizontally, slanted, or vertically, allowing you to perform a comprehensive variety of smooth shots with a highly portable slider.
While many other sliders have built-in feet, the Micro 2 slider supports a low-profile mounting platform called EasyLock, sold separately. Functioning like a multifeatured stand, this foldable add-on provides great flexibility in using the Micro 2 directly on a desktop or on the ground, even on uneven surfaces, while allowing the slider to maintain its dual-slide design.

Industrial Belt Damping Pulley
Using high-strength fiber-reinforced rubber belts to drive the fluid damping pulleys Smooth, quiet, shock absorption and more durable, fluid, and silent.
Self-Locking Key
Press the button quickly every time the shooting is completed, then you can quickly move to the next shoot location.
Fluid Damping Technology
Our latest independently developed fluid damping technology provides great even sliding, making it feel as delicate to use as flowing water, with no more worries about the speed control. Moreover,it also eliminates the troubles caused by the so-called "adjustable damper”, so that you can use it immediately and conveniently without adjustments.
Automatic Dust Scraper
A brand-new feature to allow for smoother sliding by effectively scraping away all kinds of dust and grime without adding extra friction.
Double Set, No-Shaking Stability
In addition to the quick-mount plate for the universal 1/4” to 3/8” screw holes, three unique screws are designed to screw into the slot on the quick-mount plate to double up the rail slider and the quick-mount plate. The result is the avoidance of shaking during use and the double set screws are compatible with all quick-mount plates on the market.
Connecting The Two Pan-Tile Heads
After connecting the two heads, move the heads up and down to find your angle
Installation Steps:
