Hi axiiio fans,
We've completed our prototypes of the cinema speed slider. This version is incredibly stable, and ideal for the execution of the high-speed movement that axiiio is capable of.
This slider is infinitely extendable, and has 3 rods for added rigidity We'll be offering 750 mm (30 inch) and 500 mm (20 inch) sections for the slider.
As you can see from the picture, the slider dolly is fairly wide. It's one of the widest portable sliders on the market and makes the entire system very stable when adding larger payloads, and performing fast moves. When combined with our carbon-fibre pan-tilt head, it is arguably the best motion control system in its price range available on the market.
The table below lists the differences between the older and newer versions.
| Standard | Cinema Speed | |
| Distance between rods | 100mm | 215mm |
| Rod wall thickness | 1.2mm | 2.5mm |
| Number of rods | 2 | 3 |
| Can be extended | No | Yes |
| Number of extensions | 0 | Infinite |
| Payload | 5kg | 25kg+* |
* conservative estimate only. Can potentially handle 50kg+ running horizontally, but is not yet fully tested.
Firm pricing isn't yet available, but are expecting them to retail at about about $1,200 AUD ($850 USD). This price excludes motor, receiver, leads etc, but it will include all of the hardware required to attach a motor and receiver to automate it.
We will be offering it in a kit with a receiver, motor and leads as well.
Thanks
