Manfrotto Magic Carpet Long Slider (160cm) Summary
The Magic Carpet Long Slider (160cm) is a simple, durable camera slider for silky smooth professional tracking movements. The Magic Carpet originally by Syrp and now under the steer of Manfrotto, is Genie friendly and includes everything you need to quickly add full motion control to your videos, as well as create timelapse with motion.
Buttery smooth camera moves
With a full roller bearing carriage, 5kg load capacity and lightweight construction, the Manfrotto Magic Carpet Long Slider (160cm) is extremely portable and is an essential tool for smooth manual tracking shots all the way from entry-level mirrorless cameras and DSLRs up to pro video cameras.
Motion control ready
The Magic Carpet comes motion control ready with integrated rope attachments for the Manfrotto Genie II Linear. This allows you to shoot ultra smooth motion control time-lapse and real-time video with minimal setup time, and you can also mount the Manfrotto Genie II Pan Tilt onto the Genie to add app-controlled pan tilt motion.
Lockable brake
The Manfrotto Magic Carpet Carriage comes equip with a lockable brake for safe transport and portability.
Quick release
The Magic Carpet comes with fully adjustable tool-free quick release legs enabling quick-setup that also fold away for transportation. Precise levelling is achieved using the feet for fine height adjustments.
Vertical operation
Use the integrated counterbalance system to lift heavier camera setups vertically. Combined with the Genie you can achieve smooth upward and downward motion control moves.
Tripod mountable
Mount the Magic Carpet straight onto your tripod legs or tripod head using either the 1/4" UNC or 3/8" UNC thread. Both the short and long tracks come with multiple mount points to attach your tripod(s). Use one tripod in the centre or two at either end for greater stability and heavier payloads.
Interchangeable carriage and end caps
The End Caps and Carriage are universally designed to be interchangeable between the short and long length tracks. This enables the flexibility to easily upgrade to a longer or shorter length track without the need of buying another full slider system. Giving you the flexibility of both portability and longer length camera moves at a fraction of the cost of other systems.
Reversible camera thread
The Magic Carpet comes with a reversible thread so you can quickly switch between a 3/8" UNC thread and a 1/4" UNC thread. This allows for either attaching a camera straight to the slider or using a ball head or tripod head for larger video cameras.
Magic carpet carry bag
Add the Magic Carpet Carry Bag for easy-transport and to protect your tracks from dust and scratches. The carry bags are available for either the short or long tracks and are sold separately.
