The Glidetrack Shooter is the world's first camera slider, that doubles up as a shoulder support. Glidetrack Shooter is perfect for the new breed of DSLR's that can shoot video i.e. Canon 5d, 7d, Nikon D90, D3s etc. Event shooters are going to love the versatility that this setup can offer them.
There is nothing else on the market that can offer this amount of flexibility and speed which is what event shooters need.
The Glidetrack Shooter is made up of a short metal track that is just shy of 20" in length, a sliding carriage that sits on the track and will accept a tripod plate or head with either 1/4"-20 or 3/8" mounts; a wide and flat rear leg that widens the stance of the Glidetrack to offer stability when used on the ground or table; front hand grips that are easily pivoted into position; a detachable center handle (not shown here) for one-hand shoulder use; and a thin shoulder pad on the underside of the track for extra shoulder comfort.
The adjustable front hand grips are also used to help level the Glidetrack when shooting on uneven surfaces, a feature that is lacking on most affordable sliders.
Basically, Glidetrack has taken their popular Glidetrack HD and SD slider and turned them into a dual-function device, while only adding about £25 to the price ($35-$40 U.S.). A very small premium when you consider that even inexpensive shoulder rigs start at $200-$300.
The total length of the Glidetrack Shooter is just 20.5", making it a great travel companion. While this is not a long slider, a properly positioned & timed slide will appear to be much longer in length when viewed back. The shorter track also makes it very stable when performing slides on a tripod, even a lighter weight carbon fiber tripod. This means you can keep the heavy duty aluminum tripod at home.
