Integrated Bowl Mount
The direct 100mm bowl mount is a key feature. Utilise this for quick transitions from tripod work to slider shots, leveraging your existing fluid head for precise pan and tilt control.
Track vs. Surface
Decide whether your shot requires the precision of tracks or the quick setup of a floor-based slide. The Tango 100mm excels at both, but optimal results depend on the cleanliness and flatness of the surface.
Levelling for Precision
Always ensure the slider is perfectly level using its adjustable feet and a spirit level. Even a slight incline will cause the camera to drift unintentionally.
Smooth Operation Technique
Practice a consistent, gentle push or pull to initiate and sustain movement. Avoid sudden jerks or stops to maintain a smooth, cinematic glide.
Accessorise Smartly
Consider how your camera accessories (matte box, follow focus) might affect the balance and movement on the slider. Keep the setup compact and balanced for optimal performance.
