The Ronford-Baker Slider 24″ (2ft) is a compact, professional camera slider designed for exceptionally smooth and precise linear camera movements. Known for Ronford-Baker’s high-quality engineering, it offers fluid motion with minimal friction across its short length.

Small Space Versatility
This 2ft slider is perfect for tabletop shots, product cinematography, or adding subtle movement in tight interior locations where larger sliders wouldn’t fit.
Levelling is Key
Even with a short slider, ensuring it’s perfectly level using its adjustable feet or shims is crucial to prevent unintended camera drift.
Smooth Operation
Practice slow, consistent pushes or pulls. The short length means any jerky movements will be more apparent. Aim for deliberate, gentle starts and stops.
Support & Stability
While compact, always mount the slider on stable supports (e.g., sturdy tripods or C-stands on either end) to eliminate any wobble and ensure consistent performance.
Friction Customisation
Experiment with the adjustable friction control on the carriage to fine-tune the resistance, allowing for personalised feel and control over your slides.
