BEFORE YOU START

The Axler CS-HCS-60A Adjustable Pro Slider is a portable solution for
achieving smooth, linear camera motion in your video productions. Its
petite 20″ (50 cm) sliding length can be doubled or even tripled with the
included extension rods for up to 60″ (150 cm) of belt-driven sliding at any
speed. With its weighted flywheel that controls the camera movement,
the slider can be operated by a single person to capture tracking shots
and push-ins that will increase production value and add a cinematic
quality to your films.

Four adjustable feet offer angle and height adjustment for tabletop and
indoor use, and 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 sockets enable tripod mounting for
location shooting. The camera base is equipped with a 1/4″-20 mount, and
a 3/8″-16 bushing is included for compatibility with nearly any tripod head.
The CS-HCS-60A disassembles for easy transportation in its compact,
ultraportable carry case.

EXTENDING THE SLIDER

The CS-HCS-60A Adjustable Pro
Slider comes assembled and ready to
use as a 20″ (50 cm) slider. Two pairs
of extension 20″ (50 cm) rods are
included to extend the slider’s length

Fig. 1

to 40″ (100 cm) and 60″ (150 c m).

To extend the length of the slider,
follow these steps:

1. Remove the flywheel by
unscrewing and removing the screw
cap.

2. On the underside of the slider,
loosen the belt clamps, unthread the
belt, and remove it. (Fig. 1)

3. Loosen the rod set screws on both
end blocks, and then remove the end
blocks. (Fig. 2)

4. Attach the desired number of
extension rods by screwing them
onto the existing rods. Make sure to
screw them on tightly. (Fig. 3)

Note: When adding both pairs of
extension rods to complete the 60″
(150 cm) assembly, add one pair on
each end so the center mounting
cheese plate is positioned halfway
along the track.
