Zeapon Micro 2 Micro Rail Slider

The Micro 2 achieves its extended length travel via a dual-slide design. The slider works at the push of your hand. As you manually push the rails, the belt in the center pulls the camera platform a distance of 11". At the same time, the rails themselves move in the same direction but at a slower pace. Ultimately, after the camera platform reaches the end of its road, the rails will still be moving, until they reach the end of their road. Altogether, you get 21" of movement, about double the length of the handy slider. And at no point do the rails and camera platform overlap in such a way that rails are picked up by the lens. Also, all the movement is achieved with fluid-damping-based friction technology which ensures that the motion is smooth and consistent, in accordance with how much pressure you apply when pushing.

Key Features

• 13" length, 21" travel distance
• Fluid-damping-based friction technology
• 36 ball bearings for better pulley movement
• Polymer pulleys allowing a payload of 17.5 lb
• High-strength, fiber-reinforced rubber pulley belts
• Dust stoppers on each side of the slider keep dust and dirt from getting into the area where the bearings are; they also clear any dust away from the rails themselves every time a slide is performed
• 1/4"-20 mounting screw for ball head/tripod head attachment
• 3/8"-16 tripod mount thread (3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 reducer included)
• Aircraft-grade aluminum construction
• Locking mechanismlock buttons on the side of the center component lock the slider and keep the rails from moving between shoots

Zeapon EasyLock 2 Low-Profile Mount with Ball Head

TheZeapon EasyLock 2is designed for a few purposes. It can be used as a stand for the Zeapon Micro 2 Micro Rail Slider, sold separately, in order to support the slider on desktop and ground surfaces. Or it can be used as a low-profile desktop/ground support for your camera alone, in place of something like a mini tripod or a low hat. In either case, its tiltable feet can be adjusted to compensate for slightly uneven surfaces. Also, the EasyLock provides a convenient way of moving the slider or the camera from a tripod directly to a desktop/ground surface. Included with the EasyLock is an Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate that makes tripod mounting even more convenient. An Allen key-type wrench for the plate is supplied that comes fixed hidden on the bottom of the EasyLock. Also included is a tilt and swivel ball head. When the EasyLock is used with the slider, the ball head can be mounted on top of the slider to support a camera. When the EasyLock is used with a camera only, the ball head can be used to support the camera. The EasyLock has a weight capacity of 33 lb while the ball head supports up to 17.5 lb.

perform smooth, quiet camera slides using your micro 2 slider with themotor modulefromzeapon. the motor module features a near-silent 39 db motor that can move up to 9.9 lb up and down the slider track.

the motor module features three speed settings that can be controlled wirelessly using the zeapon smartphone app for ios or android. the app also allows you to configure settings and select presets such as time-lapse, night-lapse, city-lapse, and more. the motor also has a 2.5mm port that allows you to control the start/stop or shutter of your camera using a separately available cable.

the module is powered using a separately available l-series battery that can be charged using its usb type-c port. the module can run up to 14 hours using a high-capacity np-970 battery. the port supports pd charging, and it can also be used to upgrade the unit's firmware. a charging cable is included, as well as a screwdriver and the equipment required to mount the motor module onto the slider.

• motor module compatible with the zeapon micro 2 slider
• capable of moving a 9.9 lb load capacity along the slider
• android and ios wireless app support
• quiet 39 db motor
• features three speeds and can operate in both directions along the slider
• time-lapse and night-lapse support
• pd-compatible usb type-c charging port, also used for upgrades
• compatible with separately available l-series battery; runtime up to 14 hours using a high-capacity np-f970 battery
• video start/stop and photo shutter 2.5mm control port

in a very compact designjust 13" longthemicro 2 micro rail sliderfromzeaponallows you to perform smooth manual slides across a travel distance of 21". it's small enough to fit in most bags, and it can be used for close-up and mid-range shots with loads up to 17.5 lb.

the slider offers a 1/4"-20 mounting screw where you can attach a 1/4"-20 compatible ball head or tripod head. on the bottom, it provides a 3/8"-16 tripod mount thread, and a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 reducer is included, so you get compatibility with just about all tripods and other camera supports on the market. the micro 2 slider can be used mounted on a tripod horizontally, slanted, or vertically, allowing you to perform a comprehensive variety of smooth shots with a highly portable slider.
while many other sliders have built-in feet, the micro 2 slider supports a low-profile mounting platform called easylock, sold separately. functioning like a multifeatured stand, this foldable add-on provides great flexibility in using the micro 2 directly on a desktop or on the ground, even on uneven surfaces, while allowing the slider to maintain its dual-slide design.
