Unleash your cinematic potential
Zeapon Micro 4 M500 is a slider that combines the latest technology and attention to detail. It unlocks new possibilities for storytelling through images – without unnecessary technical struggles. The Zeapon Micro 4 M500 makes camera movement smooth and repeatable. It allows you to push the boundaries of creativity and bring unique dynamics to your film. Just capture the moment, set the slider and, if necessary, reach for the motor, and the rest will take care of itself – quietly, smoothly and impressively.
Up to 12 kg load capacity
The Zeapon Micro 4 M500 is a real powerhouse that can handle any camera or unusual equipment setup. Thanks to its robust construction and precisely engineered guide system, you can confidently use both lightweight mirrorless cameras and professional film kits. The maximum load capacity of the slider when positioned vertically or at any angle is 4.5 kg. In a horizontal position, the Zeapon Micro 4 M500 can handle up to a 12 kg rig, while ensuring complete stability and no unwanted vibrations. It is the perfect solution for creators who need reliable equipment for demanding film and photography productions.
Buttons and touchscreen
The touchscreen panel, combined with physical buttons, creates an independent, self-sufficient control system. You no longer need to reach for your smartphone to program a shot or manage A/B points. With the touchscreen, you can also easily disable unnecessary settings or activate the time-lapse function. The module integrates with PONS heads and the Zeapon Timelapse Trigger (sold separately). With this device, you can return to the starting point with a single movement and continue filming without unnecessary interruptions.
Precise speed control
The drive module for the Zeapon Micro 4 slider gives you unparalleled precision in motion control thanks to instant speed adjustment. A special knob allows you to change the speed continuously even while the slider is in operation, without any delays or jumps. You can adjust the speed from 0.18 mm/s (ideal for subtle macro shots and timelapses) to 178 mm/s, which is perfect for dynamic scenes. This flexibility allows you to fully adapt the camera movement to the nature of the shot, ensuring smooth, professional shots.
Precision of movement in every scene
The fourth generation of the Zeapon Micro family continues to draw inspiration from the world of sports car modifications, offering solutions that ensure maximum stability and smooth movement. The slider’s design was created in the spirit of Hellaflush tuning, where perfect weight distribution and optimal handling are key. The 45º angle of the rail ensures that the load on the trolley is perfectly balanced and the slider operates with even greater precision – even during dynamic shots.
590 mm range
The Zeapon Micro 4 M500 is a slider that proves that small dimensions do not have to mean limitations. With a length of only 379 mm, it offers an impressive travel range of 590 mm, allowing for smooth shots even in tight spaces. It is the perfect solution for creators who often work in conditions where every centimetre of equipment matters – in a home studio, on a documentary set or while travelling. This gives you mobility without compromising on the quality of your camera or camera movement.
Zeapon Pons PT automatic head
The automatic head is a modern motion control system consisting of two electronic Pons Motorized Pan Head modules and Pons Tilt Arm Kit arms. This professional set, which has won the recognition of filmmakers and photographers around the world, allows you to automate your camera or camcorder in two planes – pan (panorama) and tilt (inclination). With its help, you can program complex movement sequences, create beautiful panoramas, take 360º photos and videos, and even record shots straight out of ‘Inception’, where the camera spins around the lens axis! The vast expandability and compatibility with the versatile Zeapon slider will ensure continuous development and a new level of quality for your video material.
Motion programming
By choosing the Zeapon Pons PT Motorized Pan Head, you gain the ability to program how your camera moves in two independent planes – ‘pan’ and ‘tilt’. Simply define the individual points of the movement sequence and set the appropriate speed. With this unique head, you can repeat your shots as many times as you like without worrying about having to reset the camera each time.
Three-stage vibration damping
The new three-stage damping system used in the Zeapon Micro 4 M500 allows you to precisely select the movement characteristics for the scenes you are recording. Depending on your needs, you can set the slider to move with greater resistance for extremely stable shots, or, conversely, choose the most free mode of operation. This flexibility makes it easier to refine each frame and give it a unique style.
2 power options
Are you planning a long recording session in the studio? Or maybe you’re getting ready for outdoor recordings where there is no access to a power outlet? The Zeapon Micro 4 slider drive module is perfect for both cases. All thanks to 2 power options. You can connect the device via a USB cable to both a power bank and a power supply supported by Power Delivery technology. The drive module is also equipped with a battery socket. You can use NP-F550, NP-F750 and NP-F970 batteries. The two power supply options eliminate concerns about the device’s operating time and give you the freedom to create even in the most demanding situations.
Acceleration at your fingertips
When you want a dynamic motion effect or a ‘dolly zoom’ effect, simply press a button to activate High Speed Mode without any complicated hardware modifications. This allows you to easily transition from smooth movement to spectacular acceleration while maintaining full control over the frame.
Stability throughout the entire range of motion
The Zeapon Micro 4 M500 is equipped with movable support wheels at both ends that dynamically adjust to the position of the trolley. This means that even when working with heavy equipment, the slider does not bend at the ends, ensuring complete stability at every point of movement. This solution eliminates the risk of unwanted tilts and allows you to maintain perfect smoothness when moving the camera or camcorder to the very end of the slider.
Top-notch quality
The key load-bearing components of the Zeapon Micro 4 M500 slider are made of stainless steel, ensuring durability even when working in the rain in places where dust or sand may be present. The robust construction not only withstands intensive use, but also guarantees stability – especially for difficult macro shots or when using probe lenses.
Quiet and precise motor
At the heart of the Zeapon Micro 4 slider drive module is an ultra-quiet brushless motor that ensures smooth, almost silent movement of the platform with the camera or camera rig. You will appreciate this especially when the recorded sound needs to remain clear and free of mechanical noise. In standard mode, the slider is so quiet that a microphone mounted on the camera will not pick up any interference, allowing you to focus on capturing the subtlest details of your recording.
Remote control
Thanks to the free Zeapon Lab app (for iOS and Android), operating the Zeapon Micro 4 slider drive module will become even more convenient, giving you greater freedom to work. Program movement sequences, control Zeapon Pons heads and control the motor in real time. The app will open up new possibilities, giving you access to unique tools that will allow you to create beautiful timelapses, stop-motion animations or spectacular panoramas.
Shots straight out of ‘Inception’
It is not always possible to rotate the camera 360 degrees around the lens axis using a gimbal. Weight restrictions very often prevent you from creating spectacular shots straight out of the film ‘Inception’. Fortunately, with the Zeapon Pons PT Motorized Pan Head, it is possible! The impressive camera rotation allows you to create unforgettable shots that are perfect for advertising films, for example.
The magic of timelapses
The Zeapon Pons PT Motorized Pan Head will allow you to create moving timelapses that show the passage of time invisible to the naked eye. Program the device, check how the frames look in different camera positions, and let the whole process run automatically. The Zeapon Lab app will calculate how many frames you need to achieve the desired effect and tell you how much time you will need to spend creating a short video from hundreds of photos.
