One of the pictures shows the ptz on a motorized slider. Is there a specific one that works best or a recommendation?

There is no specific requirement when using the Sony FR7 PTZ Camera regarding a slider. The main importance is that the slider and support for the slider can handle the entire payload of the full system.
