The ProMediaGear PMG-DUO 32" Video Sliderfrom ProMediaGear PMG-DUO 32" Video Slidercombines both straight and curved tracks into a single slider body. This dual-action design lets you add traditional slider moves, or dynamic parabolic moves simply by flipping the slider.

If you want to use the curved side, mount the straight side on your tripod or stand, and the curved side will be on top. Likewise, mount the curved side on your tripod/stand, and the straight side will be on top. If you want to place the slider on the ground or other surface, the built-in legs on the ends adjust to support either side, curved or straight. Moreover, each leg is independently adjustable for leveling the slider on uneven terrain, and both fold for compact storage inside the included carrying case.

The PMG-DUO offers multiple mounting options. There's a 3/8"-16 threaded hole at the center of both the curved and straight sides, and there are also multiple 1/4"-20 threads across both sides. Additionally, 5/8" baby pin support is provided on both ends of the slider, in either curved or straight mode for mounting on stands.

For increased strength and durability, the tracks are CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft grade aluminum. The carriage clamps onto either the straight or curved sides of the track and features three aluminum wheels with precision roller bearings inside each wheel for low resistance and smooth sliding motion. A large knob releases the carriage from the track, for attachment to the other side, while a smaller knob locks it into place.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the weight capacity. Can it handle a Red?

A: Load-bearing: 11 pounds

Q: 2. Just got my slider and noticed on the controller and the manual there is input for DC power. So can this be powered directly without a battery?

A: We are not aware of a compatible wall power supply for the GVM GP-120QD Motorized Carbon Fiber Video Slider (48"), you could try using a L-series dummy battery to provide a connection to a larger power source.

Q: 3. I'm looking to use this during an interview for my second, wide angle. Can anyone confirm that at the right distance from the subject as the camera pan from the curve, will the subject stay in the same framing? And if so, about what the distance from the subject is?

A: The VS32 PMG-Duo 32 slider is two sliders in one. The straight track is 32 in length. The curved side on the reverse has a radius of 72 or 6 feet. If you keep your subjects or objects centered at a distance of 72 or 6 feet the slider will move slightly around them. This adds a great touch of dynamic movement in your shot.

Q: 4. Can this be mounted on a tripod or tripods?

A: Yes it can be. This had threading on both sides and in the middle to attach tripods or light stands.

Q: 5. Does the motor make enough noise to compromise audio for a testimonial interview?

A: If the only using the on-board mic of a camera, it may be an issue. However if the person giving a testimonial is properly mic'd it should not be any issue it at all.

Q: 7. I have a Sony FS5 Video camera. Is it necessary to mount it on a head first, or can I mount it directly on the platform (I have never used a slider before)?

A: You can mount your camera on the slider either way. Your camera can be mounted directly to the carriage using the supplied 1/4-20 Mounting screw or mount a head with the supplied 3/8-16 mounting screw. Your moves will be limited without the flexibility of the head but the slider will work the same.

Q: 8. Can this be used manually? That is like a normal slider without the motorised function.

A: While this is a motorized system you should still be able to use it manually if you so choose.

Q: 9. can this be purchased as a motorized unit?

A: You can purchase 3rd party motors systems for this. On the ProMediaGear PMG-DUO 24 B&H website under Accessories you will find our suggestions for any budget. I like the Syrup Genie. It is well designed, and you can build from a beginner single to double to triple axis. If you wish the same manufacturer for all, please see the two suggestions below.

Q: 10. Can this slider be used manually if I have a camera on there a little heavier than 11lbs?

A: It can be used manually. However it is only rated for load capacities up to 11 pounds.
