Mounting & Levelling

The underside of the main rail features three mounting points; one in the centre and one at each end. All three positions feature both 1/4” and 3/8” threads, so mounting on a tripod or other support can be done through these industry standard connections.

Built-in to the top of the rail is a small bubble level, making the crucial levelling process far easier.

Either end of the slider, where the articulated feet attach, are further 1/4” threads, so it’s possible to mount the slider fully vertically if required.

The main carriage features a 3/8” male thread, so industry standard tripod heads, such as the Manfrotto 500AH or 502AH will attach seamlessly.

Articulated Feet
The feet included with the slider are highly adaptable, as it’s possible to adjust the angle and length of each individual foot. This is useful for placing the slider on uneven surfaces.

Get Creative

Sliders aren’t simply for a horizontal tracking shot. Mount it vertically, diagonally, lean it against a wall – use your imagination!

Modular System

  • Motorised System – Smart and Basic system for time-lapse, stop-motion and live-motion control
  • Master Pan – Automatic panning for subject tracking and parallax effect
  • Fly Wheel – Counterweight to remove inconsistency from hand-driven movement
  • Crank Handle – Pulley system allowing for operation of the slider from one end without moving with the carriage
  • K-Riser – Mount  75mm/100mm bowl fluid heads to the slider carriage
  • K-ARM – Length-extendable support arm when mounting slider on single tripod

KONOVA MSS-250 MOTOR SYSTEM FOR HIRE

  • Fits on any K-Series (K3, K5 & K7) slider
  • User-operated and automated real-time motion control
  • Programmed move-shoot-move stop-motion and time-lapse capture
  • Free control over move-shoot-move settings – total number of shots, interval time and movement distance between each frame
  • Simple and quick setup process
  • Physical limit switches built-in to avoid motor damage
  • Includes camera release trigger cable – no need for separate intervalometer
  • Belt is roller-bearing fed to the gear for snag free motion
  • 1/4-20 threads on motor and motor mounting plate to attach accessories

The Smart Motorised System (MSS-250) from Konova provides a solution for real-time motion control and programmed shoot-move-shoot sequences on their K3, K5 & K7 sliders.Setting up the system is a fast and simple process. Once the motor mounting plate has been fitted to the slider carriage using the included hex screws, the consequential setup time takes less than 60 seconds. Only two components need to be fixed to the slider – the belt and the motor. The belt clamps to either end of the slider using the existing mounting hardware on the slider and the motor itself screws to the slider carriage using a single hand-tightened knob.

For real-time motion control, the carriage can be operated in two ways. The first allows the user to control the carriage in real time, using the controllers’ joystick to define a moving direction. Secondly, the controller can be setup to loop the same movement, with applications as an unmanned second camera, such as for an interview. In this mode, the limit switches are used as a trigger to change the moving direction.

As well as real-time applications, the Smart controller really shines in regards to programmed move-shoot-move sequences. The move-shoot-move system can be used for both user-controlled stop-motion animation and for natural time-lapse shots.

The Smart controller gives users total control over the time-lapse parameters. They are able to define independently the total number of shots to capture, interval between each shot and the carriage moving distance from one frame to the next.

To ensure exact synchronisation between the carriage movement and the frame capture, a camera release trigger cable is included to connect a DSLR or stills camera to the system. When connected, the Konova system will send a signal to fire the cameras’ shutter at the correct point during the sequence capture.

Konova also offer the M1 Smart Pan & Tilt Head. This can be combined with the MSS-250 and a slider for 3-axis programmed time-lapse sequences.

For 2-axis control, the MSS-250 can be fitted at the same time as the Master Pan. In this setup, only a single motor needs to be programmed, with the second axis set using the guide rail adjustment.
