Introdução
The edelkrone SliderPLUS is an award-winning camera slider designed for professional videographers and photographers. Its unique design allows for twice the amount of camera travel compared to traditional sliders of its size, while maintaining a compact and portable form factor. The rails move with the camera, preventing them from entering the shot and enabling longer, unobstructed dolly-in/out motions. It is built from high-grade CNC machined aluminum parts, ensuring durability and silky-smooth, consistent motion.
