Product Description
This Igus DryLin W16-C dry-lubricated camera slider has an anodized aluminum construction, a 104 x 1,000 mm guide rail, and a clamp-adjusted carriage to mount cameras for sliding and panning video shots. With a 1,888 lb. static load capacity for supporting camera weight, the slider is dry lubricated for oil-free, low maintenance care, and its anodized aluminum construction is lightweight and resists corrosion and tarnishing. Camera equipment can be mounted to the camera slider's 150 mm long carriage plate. The carriage fits onto the 104 x 1,000 mm guide rail for linear sliding that has four bearing blocks with 16 mm thermoplastic liners to help reduce sliding noise and friction. A hand clamp on the carriage allows manual adjustments to the friction force. Holes can be drilled in the guide rail to mount the camera slider to tripods (sold separately) or other surfaces. The camera slider is suitable for cameras with small- or medium-sized lenses and for use in amateur and professional video applications.
Igus manufactures polymer chains and cables, linear guides, bearings, and other power transmission products for a variety of industries. The company, founded in 1964, is headquartered in Koln, Germany.

great piece of gear
By M. Ivey
This is the way to go if you are looking for a DSLR slider.No problem drilling and tapping a hole for a tripod bolt yourself or take it to a machine shop and get it done for 5 or 10 bucks.Same with making legs or stoppers for the end of the rail.You can get complete instructions by searching ZaZa Slider - and excellent, affordable slider leg alternatives are available by using handles from J. W. Winco (Nylon Plastic Adjustable Levers WN 300.1)Great product - you'll dig having it on your shoots.

By Michael
Our company bought a more expensive slider (close to $1000), and I bought one of these for my personal use. After using the two, I like this one WAY better. It is smoother and a lot easier to move around. The DryLin is sturdy and will hold up to a lot of abuse. It is also solid enough for some of the bigger video cameras like a Sony EX1. You don't have to spend THOUSANDS of dollars to get that sliding action. I don't know why some of these simple tools have to cost SO much?? for a under $200 you are good to go! I did have to drill a hole in the carriage to mount my tripod head, but that is not a big job. I mounted a Manfrotto 701HDV fluid head which is also very smooth and just right for my Canon 7D.On the bottom I mounted a Manfrotto 501PL plate and it slides onto a number of different Manfrotto heads. Now I need to design some feet for it and/or a stop on each end.I liked it so much I bought another one and had it cut short enough to fit into my suitcase for travelling!
