Enhancing Your Shots: Exploring Camera Slider Types

In the world of photography and videography, camera sliders have become essential tools for creating smooth, professional-looking motion shots. Today, we'll explore two distinct types of sliders from Trexo that can elevate your visual storytelling.

 

Linear Sliders: Precision on a Rail

 

The Trexo Slider V2 and ProKit V2 are excellent examples of linear sliders. These devices move along a straight bar, offering precise, controlled motion for your shots.

The Trexo Slider V2 boasts features like:

  • Super Slow & Incline Mode for dramatic vertical shots
  • Built-in timelapse functionality
  • Both standalone and app-based control options

For those seeking even more creative control, the Trexo ProKit V2 takes it a step further. With its 3-axis capability and two pan/tilt modules, it allows for complex movements that can add depth and interest to your footage.

 

Wheeled Wonders: The Tabletop Dolly

 

Enter the Trexo Wheels, a tabletop dolly slider that brings versatility to flat surfaces. This innovative device offers:

  • 360-degree movement capabilities
  • Ideal for product photography and videography
  • A learning mode for easy programming of movements

While linear sliders excel in precise, straight-line movements, the Trexo Wheels shines in situations requiring more free-form, circular motions.

 

Choosing Your Slider

When deciding between these slider types, consider your specific needs:

  • For straight, smooth tracking shots, a linear slider like the Trexo Slider V2 or ProKit V2 is ideal.
  • If you need flexibility on flat surfaces or frequently shoot 360-degree product videos, the Trexo Wheels might be your best bet.

Whichever you choose, these camera sliders offer powerful tools to enhance your visual storytelling and bring a professional touch to your work.
