Libec ALX Camera Slider Overview

The Libec ALX S8 is a 32.6" long camera slider that features an integrated 75mm ball base with a flat bottom, allowing it to be mounted directly to 75mm bowl fluid heads as well as flat-base heads. When used on tabletop or flat surface using, the slider has a maximum load capacity of 33 lb. For smooth and wobble-free operation, the carriage features eight roller bearings positioned on the rail top and along the sides at angles. A spring-loaded friction knob allows you to adjust slide tension, while a brake knob will lock the carriage in place at any point on the rails. Using a supplied hexagon wrench, you can adjust the pushing force that the ball bearing exerts on the rail.

At each end of the slider, there are 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and a rosette for attaching various accessories. If you will be using the slider on the ground or tabletop, the slider features built-in legs with height-adjustable feet to accommodate non-level terrain. For compact storage, the legs fold up against the side of the slider, securing in place using thumb knobs. Unscrewing the knobs completely allows you to detach the legs completely and swap out the 32.6" rail for separately available 15.5" or 47" rail lengths.

Libec ALX Camera Slider Reviews

Love it

I've had this slider for 2 years now and I love it. The adjustable leg levels make it easy to balance on any outdoor surface. The knob that allows you to adjust friction works like a charm; also, love that there's a separate latch to lock it in place.

Great slider

With the legs and tripod mount removed, it is possible to directly (and permanently) secure this slider to a tabletop?

question

can i mount this slider on one allex tripod ?
Asked by: Anonymous
If you used just one typical tripod for the Libec ALX S12 Slider it would not be for long. With your first move to one end, your camera would crash to the floor.That is becasue the ALX S12 at 43.5 /110 cm is too long for one typical tripod. You need two stands of some sort for it or use it on a table top. See the two mounts underneath the slider for attachment to confirm this.If you were using the short ALX S8 Slider (28 ), then one tripod would be fine.
