Floatcam FC Slider
Key Features
- 2-in-1 Camera Slider + Mini-Jib
- Switch effortlessly between horizontal and vertical motion. The FloatCam FC Slider functions as both a camera slider and a compact jib arm, giving filmmakers the power to execute dynamic, multi-axis movements with one tool.
- Massive 50kg Payload Capacity
- Built to support even the most demanding rigs—including large cinema cameras with heavy lenses, follow focus systems, batteries, and matte boxes—the FC Slider handles up to 50 kilograms (113 lbs) while maintaining smooth, stable performance.
- Ultra-Smooth, Silent Motion
- Equipped with high-precision rails and bearings, the FC Slider delivers buttery-smooth linear movement with zero wobble or vibration, ensuring seamless tracking shots for professional results.
- Counterbalance System for Vertical Moves
- An integrated counterweight system allows perfectly balanced vertical camera movements, ideal for tilting shots, overhead product demos, and creative reveals without stressing the motor or camera operator.
- Modular & Lightweight Aluminum Construction
- Despite its high load capacity, the FC Slider is the lightest and most compact slider in FloatCam’s lineup. Made from aircraft-grade anodized aluminum, it is built to withstand daily use in studio or field environments while remaining easy to transport.
- Supports Motion Control Integration
- Compatible with FloatCam’s motion control unit, enabling motorized time-lapse, repeatable programmed shots, and automated focus pulls for VFX or multi-take sequences.
- Multiple Mounting Options
- Install the slider on tripods (via 3/8” or 1/4” threads), mount both ends, or center-mount for lightweight DSLR setups. The slider can even be dropped flat on the ground or set on a table for impromptu setups.
- Custom Length Options
- Available in 120cm, 150cm, 180cm, and custom sizes to suit your shooting style—whether for tight interior spaces or sweeping exterior dolly shots.
