Manfrotto Presents New Sliders

London, 1st September 2015 – Manfrotto, the world leader in equipment and accessories for the photography and imaging industry announces the launch of the new sliders.

Available in a 60cm and 100cm version, the sliders have been developed for experienced photographers and videographers to support creative achievements both indoor and outdoor and who need a tool to enhance their creativity and spontaneity.

SMOOTH AND PRECISE MOVEMENTS

The new Sliders are totally machined and ensure an extremely smooth and accurate sliding movement thanks to their 8 high precision steel ball bearings. The coupling between the rails and the carriage can be simply and easily adjusted, as well as the friction on the carriage itself. Moreover, the Sliders boast wheels made of an exclusively strong material (PSU - high performance polymer) used for its great fluidity and silence.

The new Sliders are incredibly versatile. Its Friction System allows users to adjust the feel of the tracking shot and, thanks to their wide tracks, represent a sturdy and incredible steady solution.
