Kenro have announced an addition to its steadily growing range of Sevenoak camera sliders

Once the sole domain of the high-end movie industry, a camera slider allows for professional-looking, smooth and stable horizontal camera movement. A must-have effect for videography in many applications, and one that adds a ‘polished’ finish to movie production.

Kenro have launched no fewer than seven camera sliders into their growing line-up of Sevenoak photo and video accessories now. Three are designed for smaller cameras, three are for heavy-duty use, and one offers a clever combination of dolly [roller] and slider.

Firstly, the three Compact Sevenoak Camera Sliders are designed for creating quality shots on a lower budget. They feature a smooth guide rail constructed of heavy-duty, anodised aluminium for vibration-free, quiet panning, offering an easy motion for camera rigs.

There’s a built-in spirit level for ease of leveling up and tension adjustment. The sliders can be attached to a tripod or used standalone, and are compatible with most camera and video heads; ideal for use with DSLR cameras or smaller camcorders.

They are quick to set up and have adjustable, foldable feet.
