Accsoon, a company known for its wireless video transmission and camera accessories, has recently launched two new motorized sliders that offer smooth and affordable motion control for filmmakers. The TopRig S40 and S60 are designed to create cinematic tracking shots, subtle push-ins, pull-backs, and reveals with ease and precision.
TopRig S40 and S60 Features
The TopRig S40 and S60 are both made of metal and feature powerful brushless motors that can vary the speed of movement from 0.1 cm/s to 5 cm/s. They can be used for horizontal or vertical moves, with a maximum payload capacity of 4kg horizontally and 2.5kg vertically. The TopRig S40 has a physical length of 41cm and a camera travel distance of 22.5cm, while the TopRig S60 has a physical length of 61cm and a camera travel distance of 42.5cm.
One of the unique features of the TopRig sliders is the built-in parallax system that allows the camera to automatically pan gently as it moves around the subject. This creates a professional-looking result that adds depth and dimension to the shot. To achieve this effect, the user simply needs to place the slider square on the subject, make sure that both ends of the slider are equal distance from the subject, then move the camera to one end and use the adjustment bar to angle the camera in towards the subject.
The sliders can be controlled via physical buttons on the unit or via Bluetooth using the TopRig app, which is available for free from the app store. The app allows the user to set A and B points, loop movement actions, adjust speed, and preview the motion. The sliders also have a battery indicator and a USB-C port for charging.
TopRig S40 and S60 Pricing and Availability
The TopRig S40 and S60 are priced at $349 and $399 respectively, making them very affordable compared to other motorized sliders on the market. They are also very portable and easy to transport, as they can fit inside or be strapped onto most backpacks. The sliders are primarily designed for mirrorless cameras and smaller cinema cameras, but they can also work with larger cameras with lighter lenses.
The TopRig S40 and S60 are expected to be available from authorized Accsoon dealers soon. For more information about Accsoon and their products, visit their website.
