IKan SLD-31 Camera Slider
Description
The [Ikan SLD-31](https://ikancorp.com) is an ultra-lightweight, 31-inch carbon fiber camera slider designed to bring smooth, linear tracking movements to cinematic video productions. Weighing a mere 1.5 pounds while boasting a robust 18-pound load capacity, this highly portable slider serves as a dependable foundation for travel shooters, documentarians, and independent filmmakers looking to elevate their production value without carrying cumbersome gear.
The slider features two rigid 19mm carbon fiber rails supporting an extra-large 4×5 inch aluminum camera carriage. Utilizing eight precision-sealed ball bearings on machined aluminum rollers, the carriage glides smoothly across a 26-inch travel distance to ensure stable, noise-free panning shots. For setup flexibility, the slider is outfitted with an integrated bubble level, a physical friction lock knob to freeze positioning, and angle-adjustable outrigger legs with height-adjustable rubber leveling feet for stabilizing shots on uneven terrain. The carriage and baseplates are equipped with multiple 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threaded connection holes, making it easy to center-mount a tripod, lock down dual light stands, or secure articulating extension arms for external monitors.
