Up to 12kg load capacity
Zeapon Micro 3 M700 is a real powerhouse, which is not intimidated by any camera and working in non-standard positions! The maximum lifting capacity of the slider when positioned vertically or at any angle is 4.5 kg. When working horizontally, the slider can handle a video set weighing up to 12 kg!
Inspired by sports cars
The innovative design of the 3rd generation of sliders from Zeapon draws on the sports car tuning of the Hellaflush. The 45º rail position ensures perfect distribution of the car’s weight and even better stability when capturing moving shots. The slider guides and wheels are made of high-quality stainless steel. This material will provide adequate protection against moisture or sand, guaranteeing long-lasting operation in various weather conditions.
5-stage resistance adjustment
For uncompromising smoothness of movement, the Zeapon Micro 3 M700 slider features a revolutionary vibration dampening system with vacuum resistance adjustment. An ergonomic dial with a 5-step scale allows you to conveniently adjust the specifics of the device to the needs of specific shots. The locking mechanism used will also prevent the belt from breaking or the trolley from changing position uncontrolled.
Innovative brackets
The Zeapon Micro 3 M700 offers completely new possibilities for connecting the slider to tripods, supports and mounting systems. You will find up to 3 1/4″ and 3/8″ tripod threads on the housing of the unit. These will provide even greater versatility for applications where you do not want to use the fold-out legs. Mounting the device is now possible in previously inaccessible locations – even “upside down”! Included with the Zeapon Micro 3 M700 slider you will also find 2 special brackets, making one tripod enough to give you the highest level of stability.
Improved drive belt
Listening to the voice of filmmakers using equipment from Zeapon, the engineers working on the brand’s 3rd generation of sliders have designed a new, more flexible drive belt that is even more resistant to stretching. It has also eliminated all metal ends. This allows you to replace the belt with an original Zeapon replacement item or look for a cheaper alternative if needed.
Not afraid of the cold
Traditional sliders sometimes refuse to obey when operating in cold weather. This is due to the oil, which thickens when exposed to low temperatures. The vibration dampening system with vacuum resistance control solves this problem, ensuring exceptional smoothness of movement, even during outdoor shots taken in winter. The Zeapon Micro 3 M700 is a guarantee of reliable operation, even at extremely low temperatures!
Safe camera installation
The mounting platform used in the new carriage is about 3 times larger than the one known from the Micro 2 sliders. The large contact surface finished with an anti-slip material allows a safer camera installation, guaranteeing perfect stability during recording. Also new is a revolutionary mounting screw, compatible with 1/4 and 3/8 inch tripod standards. To protect your equipment from possible scratches, this element can be hidden inside the platform. Simply press the thread and rotate slightly.
Motion automation
In a separate sale you will find a new version of the drive module, designed to work with the Micro 3 series sliders. With its help you will automate movement and accurately plan rides, raids, departures, zooms and distances, while gaining the ability to endlessly repeat exactly the same shots. Installation or removal of the motor only requires the turning of two screws. The drive module is not connected to a belt and movement is transmitted via a robust gear wheel. Changing from manual to automated operation is therefore easier than ever!
The Zeapon product family
The electric drive module is just the introduction to the world of innovative Zeapon products. Panoramas, 360º stills and movies, shots straight out of Inception, programming of movements in different planes and even more refined timelapses – all of this is possible with further devices that can join your instrumentarium. Explore the modular Zeapon product family, develop your skills and create even better videos and photos!
