Kessler Crane CineSlider and Crank Handle Kit (60.5")

The CineSlider from Kessler Crane is a belt-driven, heavy-duty camera slider supporting up to 80 lb, and this model measures a total length of 60.5", it has a total weight of 12 lb, and a travel distance of 51". The slider is made of reinforced aluminum, and the slide rails are on the inside, where they're better protected.

This CineSlider supports 80 lb when placed on a surface or mounted on two tripods. It is not recommended for use with a single center mount. It is designed with adjustable drag control, which allows you to add resistance to the movement of the slider carriage, allowing for more consistency on slower slides. The drag control knob also works as a friction brake when fully locked down. It does not come with a crank handle, but you can add an optional Kessler Crank Handle at any time.

The CineSlider is capable of being motorized with one of several optional Kessler Crane motorized systems, such as the elektraDRIVE, CineDrive, or Second Shooter motion control systems. It can also be enhanced with the optional Kessler Parallax, which will add a panning axis, allowing for inward and outward panning shots.

The CineSlider Crank Handle from Kessler Crane is a removable crank for hand-driving the pulley system on a CineSlider. It features a snap-on design for easy attachment and adjustable arc diameter for greater control of movement. To fine-tune control, simply loosen a silver tightening knob on the crank and slide the handle in or out to adjust the arc diameter.

Note: The Crank Handle will not attach to CineSliders manufactured before spring 2014, as those models have a built-in, non-removable handle design.
