Discover the Zeapon Micro 4 series sliders
Micro 4 is a series of professional sliders that combine modern technology with precision workmanship. The devices are available in 3 variants: M500 (37.9 cm long and 59 cm range), M700 (46.9 cm long and 77 cm range) and M1000 (61.9 cm long and 107 cm range). They are perfect for a variety of spaces, offering smooth, repeatable shots. Their sports suspension-inspired design ensures perfect balance, while stainless steel protects against moisture and sand. With a load capacity of up to 12 kg, they can handle heavy cameras, while three-stage vibration damping and friction adjustment guarantee full control over movement. The ability to connect Zeapon heads opens the door to automation and even greater creativity.
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 running, 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.
2 power options
Planning a long recording session in the studio? Or maybe you’re getting ready for outdoor shooting where there’s no access to a power outlet? The Zeapon Micro 4 slider drive module is perfect for both. 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. 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 to achieve 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.
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 your camera or camcorder. You’ll appreciate this especially when you want the recorded sound to remain clear and free of mechanical noise. In standard mode, the slider is so quiet that the 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
With the free Zeapon Lab app (for iOS and Android), operating the Zeapon Micro 4 slider drive module becomes even more convenient, giving you greater freedom to work. Program movement sequences, control the separately sold Zeapon Pons heads and control the motor in real time. The app opens up new possibilities, giving you access to unique tools that allow you to create beautiful timelapses, stop-motion animations or spectacular panoramas.

The electric drive module is just the beginning of the world of innovative Zeapon products. Panoramas, 360º photos and videos, shots straight out of ‘Inception’, motion programming in different planes and even more refined timelapses – all this is possible with the next devices that can be added to your toolkit.
