Fluent movements, smooth results

The S2 slider is capable of recording videos with complete fluid movements. Fluency itself has been our constant obsession from the beginning, and the results are just like we had anticipated. Thanks to the double bearings per wheel we’ve achieved fluid movements. As smooth as butter!

Learn how to use your S2-Controller

 

If anything sets us apart from the rest of sliders in the market, it’s our product’s ease of use. The controller has been programmed for completely intuitive use and easy handling. It’s an independent controller, so you won’t need to install an app, or use the phone Bluetooth or WiFi, and it runs perfectly with a startup time of less than one second.

 

▷Free Move mode

Turn the knob one or two levels and the slider will slowly reach the target speed. Turn it in the opposite direction and it will slowly decrease the speed.

▷Video mode

Set the starting and finishing point, as well as the sliding time. As simple as that. The movement is precise, and you can repeat it as many times as you want with a loop option. This way you can take identical footage and easily achieve special effects by using After Effects.

If the loop mode is not selected, the slider will stop at the end of the movement and the controller will ask whether you want to repeat the sequence or you want to change the duration of the movement.

▷TimeLapse mode

Operating the time-lapse mode is equally as simple as the other modes. Set a starting and finishing point. Each knob regulates the position of a motor. Next, indicate the number of pictures that you want to take and the time in between shots. The total recording time will appear automatically on the screen.

The slider is precise and achieves sharp results without trepidation, thanks to its shoot-move-stabilize-shoot system, which is especially useful for night and long-exposure time-lapses.

Note that some camera models require you to shoot in Manual Focus. This should not be an issue, as you can focus in Auto Focus (AF), change to Manual Focus (MF) and shoot with the S2-Controller. You’ll need a shooter cable to work as an intervalometer.

How to calculate the minimum time between shots (t inter)? The time between shots results from adding up the following times. Remember that the total time is the required minimum but that you can always increase it if your time lapse needs it.

  •  Moving time: it’s the time that the motors take to move from one position to the next to take a new photo. This time is specifically 0.3s with our S2-Slider.
  •  Stabilization time: it can be configured from our controller. It is established at 0.7s by default, which is more than enough for your camera to get totally still and for the picture to be perfectly clear without trepidation.
  •  Exposure time: it’s the time that your camera needs to take a picture.
  •  Processing time: it’s the time that your camera takes to process each photo.  Processing time must be taken into account especially when dealing with long-exposure photography.

Example: if you are working on a night timelapse for which the exposure time is set at 20s and the camera takes 2s to process each photo, you need to choose a t inter of at least 0.3s+0.7s+22s+2s = 25s.

 

▷Turntable mode

 

▷Stop Motion mode

  1. Select the initial position by turning the knobs. Each knob regulates the position of a motor. Push each knob to confirm.
  2. Select the final position by turning the knobs.
  3. Select the number of pictures and push ‘go!’.
  4. Take as long as you need in between shots. Adjust the scene, push the button on the controller nd turn the knob to go to the next scene. Don¡t worry if you make a mistake. Go back and the slider will get to the previous position.

Controller compatible with your DIY motorized slider

It is becoming more and more common for people to make their own motorized sliders, but it’s actually quite usual to find complications, mostly from the electronic side since strong programming skills are required to get proper results. Following our philosophy of providing means for the best results at the lowest cost, we have included adaptors with our product to make our controllers compatible not only with our sliders and motors but also with any other step-by-step motor or DIY slider.

This way you can get a DIY motorized slider, or a motorized crane for timelapse and video for example, and enjoy our controller’s full power.

We are currently working on the design of both tilt and focus motors. Soon they’ll be available to purchase.
