Libec ALX Camera Slider Overview

The Libec ALX S12 is a 47" long camera slider that comes with two built-in 75mm ball bases having flat bottoms, and thus it can be supported by a set of 75mm bowl fluid heads as well as flat-base heads. When mounted on tabletop or flat surface using, the slider has an overall maximum load capacity of 33 lb. For smooth and wobble-free movements, the carriage comes equipped with eight roller bearings placed on the rail top and along the sides at angles. A spring-loaded friction knob lets you fine-tune slide tension, and a brake knob will lock the carriage at any location on the rails. With a supplied hexagon wrench, you can fine-tune the pushing force that the ball bearing puts onto the rail.

There are 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and a rosette for mounting different accessories at both ends of the slider. If you will be placing the slider on the ground or tabletop, the slider has built-in legs with height-adjustable feet to handle uneven terrain. For storage in a compact manner, the legs fold up against the side of the slider and are held in place by thumb knobs. Removing the knobs entirely enables the removal of legs entirely and the replacement of the 47" rail with individually purchased 15.5" or 32.6" lengths of rail.
