What makes SliderPLUS magical?

With its award-winning unique design, SliderPLUS is the first slider in the world that combines portable size with long camera travel. Travel with half the weight of a traditional slider and work in tight/crowded spaces much more efficiently.

Twice the camera travel

The rails of SliderPLUS move with the camera, giving you twice the amount of camera travel compared to regular sliders of its size.

Twice the dolly in/out range

SliderPLUS gives longer dolly in/out range compared to regular sliders. Since the rails move together with the camera, they won’t get in the shot. This will give you twice the amount of dolly in/out range.

Add Slide Module v3 to motorize your slides

• Slide Automation • Motion Time-lapse • Stop Motion • Visual Effects

Slide Module v3 (What's new with v3?)

Slide Module v3 is a motorized add-on which can be attached to all SliderPLUS models. With Slide Module v3, you can easily achieve perfectly stable slides or easily program motion time-lapse and stop motion videos. You can still move your SliderPLUS with your hands to set positions while Slide Module is attached!

Ability to do tasty inclines

Thanks to the new design of SliderPLUS v5, you can now do inclines up to 22.5° (climb/descend) when paired with Slide Module v3 or the previous generation Slide Module v2. While doing inclines, the use of motorized heads is not recommended. If you need an incline monster, we recommend taking a look at JibONE.

Connects wirelessly to edelkrone Heads

Having a motorized head on SliderPLUS + Slide Module opens the door to amazing 2-, 3- or 4-axis camera motions which can be easily programmed and repeated. You can record never-before-seen, amazing motion time-lapses and visual effects shots with these combinations. The devices pair instantly in the background while using the same App or controller to control all devices together.

HeadONE (2 models) Add a single or 2 HeadONEs to add motorized panning and/or tilting to SliderPLUS. Great for stunning parallax shots, interviews and motion time-lapses.

Pan PRO Add a single Pan PRO to add motorized panning head motion to SliderPLUS. For heavy camera setups up to 30 lb. Only a single Pan PRO can be paired in a bundle.

HeadPLUS v2 (2 models) Add HeadPLUS to SliderPLUS and get motorized focusing + 3-axis smart object tracking. HeadPLUS is the industry's most advanced motorized camera head.

Exclusive edelkrone features for one-person video production

Automatic Target Tracking (with HeadPLUS)

HeadPLUS has the ability to learn three different targets. When transitioning between targets, HeadPLUS keeps each target in frame and focus even when moving on SliderPLUS! With this automatic feature, you can achieve elegant parallax shots without spending any time programming the system.

Live Target Switching (with HeadPLUS)

You can make a smooth transition between any of the three preset targets by selecting your desired target through the App. During each transition, HeadPLUS elegantly frames the new target and focuses while keeping the target in frame and focus as the camera moves.

Instant Target Learning (with HeadPLUS)

If you add Laser Module to HeadPLUS, you can teach the position of any stationary target to the system instantly. Just aim on the target and press OK. The camera will instantly frame and focus on the target.

Sequencer feature (with HeadPLUS or HeadONE)

With Sequencer feature, you can chain multiple poses one after another to create complex camera motion. Transition speed between every pose is independently adjustable. Also, you can make it loop so that the system goes back and forth in the given order.

Stop motion software integration (with HeadPLUS)

HeadPLUS can be controlled with Dragonframe animation software through any PC (Windows/Linux) or Mac using edelkrone Link Adapter (required). The mobile edelkrone App comes with a stop motion feature that has helped videomakers create amazing animations over the years. Now, with the release of edelkrone Link Adapter, you can step up your stop motion game by using Dragonframe to fine-tune your production in even more detail.

* Dragonframe Software purchased separately at dragonframe.com

Can be hand-controlled (with HeadPLUS)

You can manually adjust the pan and tilt angle of the HeadPLUS. Instead of relying on a remote control, you can program your camera motions with just your hands! This gives an unprecedented speed to your workflow, and makes the whole process much more intuitive.

Super easy time-lapse programming

Setting up a motion time-lapse is the easiest with edelkrone App. In your time-lapse videos, you can have a simple transition between two keyposes or you can convert a recorded complex camera motion into a time-lapse with a single button. You can use edelkrone’s unique Dynamic Interval and Dynamic Step Size Technologies to introduce never-before-seen effects to your time-lapses which bend the speed of time and speed of camera motion independently of each other.

Single App to control all

edelkrone App cleverly scans the available devices in its surroundings and pairs with them automatically, giving you a single screen to control all devices together.

The interface is extremely simple.

Use the controls on the top part of the App screen to set the pose of your camera. Press and hold on any of the keypose buttons to record that pose. Use the same button to recall that pose. It’s that simple. Press 2 keyposes to put the system in loop between both keyposes.

You can adjust the speed and acceleration of the transition between keyposes. Or, you can easily create time-lapse videos by using the same keyposes.

App Details.pdf

The App shows you this control screen when there is only one motorized slider discovered around. The keypose, transition speed, transition smoothness adjustments are always available on the main screen.

When you combine your Slider with HeadONE, this is the control panel you'll see. If you add 2 HeadONEs, the tilt adjustment will also appear on the screen. Sequencer feature becomes available when you connect an edelkrone head to the setup.

When you combine your Slider with the HeadPLUS, the App gives you this 4-axis control screen including the focus adjustment. Notice the Target Mode button also becomes available at the bottom for smart target tracking.

After you complete recording a motion, this is the screen which lets you replay the motion recorded. You can also convert it in to a time-lapse or stop-motion via this screen.

This is the time-lapse screen. First, enter your Record Time & Play Time and your FPS settings. Next, set the same shutter speed with your camera in the app & set the interval. Lastly, select the starting and ending keyposes. This way you will achieve a nice motion time-lapse video transitioning between both keyposes.

When you setup your time-lapse, instead of entering a static interval, you can enter a dynamic interval with the help of this graphic. So, you can have an alternating speed of time in your time-lapse video. This feature will not affect the speed of your camera motion. If you start a time-lapse while you are in Target Mode, you will be able to select targets.

When Ramping is on, you can alter the speed of your camera motion throughout your time-lapse video. This graphic helps you adjust the speed of your motion easily.

edelkrone Controller v2

If you prefer not to use your phone (edelkrone App), and need a dedicated solution, edelkrone Controller v2 will be your best friend. Compatible with all motorized edelkrone sliders, jibs, heads and dollies, edelkrone Controller v2 allows you to easily control any combination of these devices.

Its an excellent slider.

Love all of Edelkrones kit. The upgrade options are incredible. Now have 3 of these sliders with quite a few motor sliding options.

Super functional, well built a delight to use!

I had a slider from another manufacturer. This is, hands down, a far nicer unit, on a scale of magnitude. The build quality, manufacturing quality and user friendly design and functionality are great. I’m totally enamored with Edelkrone and plan to add additional Edelkrone projects to fill out my motion photography/videography platform.

Good slider,but not on a tripod

I use the long pro slider, with the head one and my camera. The sliding is smooth, but on a tripod the slider bends after 4 inches out from the tripod head, giving all of my footage a bend to it. Was very disappointed to find this to be the case as the slider should be able to hold 10lb, and my camera and head one is only 4.8. If your using the slider on a table it's great with all 4 legs, but for travelling work (the reason I bought it) it's much less functional in my opinion. Unless I happened to get a defunct model.

It’s worth every penny

I initially got the V5 Long version but not the Pro. This is much more in line for my needs. It is actually longer but more stable. If you can go for the pro then definitely do so. The rails are extremely smooth and there are no issues with it at all. It works great with the app to the point you don’t pay attention to it because you just know it will do what it’s supposed to. A very well made piece of gear that I highly recommend for anyone looking for a motorized slider.

Great piece of kit……

I have indulged myself recently and finally purchased this slider. Great piece of engineering ! Just a pity about the unexpected noise from the Slider Module power unit……. at medium to faster transits !

Nice upgrade from SliderPLUS PRO Long

I upgraded to v5 for the new tilt capabilities and it works well with my Panasonic GH5! Paired with the Slide Module v3 gives me smooth and silky slides from start to finish!

It is one of the products that you should definitely buy. I bought it as a full set.

This product is of the highest quality. Besides, it is reasonable. If you have a few orders, I would like to see product development with even higher load capacity and motor power.

Sometimes great, sometimes shaky.

When this slider works well it’s amazing. Unfortunately, it’s inconsistent in regard to shake. We’re using a C70, which I was told would be fine from a weight standpoint. Hopefully it’s just a matter of figuring out the bugs. I have ordered the Jib. Will see if it’s a similar experience.

Annoying bump over middle bracket.

I really want to love this slider. It’s compact, easy to set up, and appears durable. But every time I slide the camera over the middle bracket (the corresponding bracket that attaches to a tripod), it bumps. The friction is unmistakable and always present. No matter what I do, I can’t avoid it. As I said, I want to love this slider. But for the price, I expect a smooth frictionless motion. I cannot recommend this product.

Love the Concept

The main reason I got this slider is for the additional length it offers when mounted on a tripod. Add to that feature the fact that it has exceptional build quality, it definitely stands apart from the competition. This is one ecosystem I don't mind buying into. I'm looking forward to continue building my ideal edelkrone rig... I just gotta save up for it.

The product works very good. Slightly shaky if you speed ramp your video but it is easily fixed in editing

Worth the money

Love this product. Very smooth and easy to use. I have had several sliders and this is by far the smoothest. The small footprint makes it easy to trek around with.

Well Built Slider

I love it so far, but I've hardly used it as I am waiting for a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter screw to use the headone. The headone didn't come with an adapter to mount a regular threaded dslr/mirroless camera. It's kind of surprising I don't have one with all of my other gear, but I'm still excited to get rolling with this. I will post a review on youtube once I have had 5-10 hours with it. I am debating on whether or not I'll get another headone for the added axis of rotation. Movement is smooth and the speed ramp at the ends of the slider are very gradual. I don't see much lash at all even at higher speeds.
