How does the slider attach to a tripod? or does it just sit on it.

It has threads on the bottom that you attach your tripod plate to the slider then you mount the slider plate on the tripod head...

To attach this to a tripod the slide has two screws, since most slides only have one screw option I suggest you get a big tripod. A small one can be bended since this kind of heavy.

At the bottom of the slider there are three screw holes ( like on the bottom of a camera ) you can attach it threw either the middle one for one tripod or to the two on each side for a more stable two tripods. I keep a quick release plate on the bottom of my slider so it's faster to set up.

It attaches directly to the tripod mount. No additional item is necessary. It fits on a standard tripod.

Yes, just put the mounting plate on top of the tripod and then put this on top....that's how i set it up on my slider cam, love this product...

I use a Manfroto tripod. Make sure that you're using two screw points to eliminate rotation. In a best case scenario you would use a tripod on each side of the slider so it is being held up at the ends rather than the center.

The one I purchased for a few dollars more, included a separate tripod head mount piece adaptor. The connector/adaptor I received acts as an internal threaded female J-adaptor to hold the attached device, which then is twisted onto the external threaded tripod male bolt end screw of the extended handle, or could be twisted onto and fastened to the external threaded male head bolt mount of a tripod.

This device is meant to be attached to a tripod. The tripod provides the adjustments.

I own this slider. And, based on the knowledge I have of this product, I would have to say yes - this will mount to most any tripod. With standard mounting holes on the underside of the middle and at both ends, it makes it easy to mount to either a tripod (middle mount) or two stands (end mounts).

Yes, the slider can be used with or without a tripod head. Make sure to keep the track very clean before using it. Also, make sure you use some kind of lubrication on the track like WD40. This is a super small slider and it looks even smaller through a camera, so don't expect an amazing tracking shot. It's not bad, just not long enough.

There is a hole on the bottom of the slider. My tripod came with a base plate that I attached to the slider and that's how I attached it to my tripod. I hope that helps.

You attach the quick release bracket that comes with the tripod to the foot (or handle) on the lens. Then you attach the lens (with the camera installed) to the tripod.

It doesn't attach to a tripod. It mounts to a light stand. It's used to hold a flash off camera while the flash is remote triggered.I suppose someone might make an adapter to mount to a tripod though.

None. There is no specific tripod mount feature. You'd just have to rest it on something.

Hi Bruce, the top plate of the tripod has a square (1.75"x1.75") quick release cavity section that holds a small square flat (1/4") plastic insert with the screw facing up in the middle of that plate. I am not that familiar with the different ways to attach, I believe this can work with both. My iPhone attachment uses the screw/square insert to attach. Hope this helps!

There isn't anything you could connect them with, although you could probably rig something up. The slider is a friction slider, meaning it's just a sled on the rails, no bearings. This means it's not as smooth as other sliders, and it takes practice to get a smooth shot. Joining sliders together will only make getting a smooth shot more difficult. If you need a track dolly shot, it's not too hard to make a tripod dolly out of pvc pipe. Look up "tripod dolly, Frugal Filmmaker" on YouTube.

You can attach a tripod or what on to the bottom of the Swivi mount. I leave the mount on all the time between attaching to shoulder, slider or tripod. Works great

That seems odd. If you can fit the T5i on to a monopod or tripod then it should fit on to the slider (they are the same size screws I believe). One thing you could do and it would help with your slider shots in general is using or buying a tripod head. They are as cheap as $20 on here. I use that and it allows me to get shots where the camera is looking up or down as well easily rotating around the slider (for push in shots as well as sliding horizontally)

You attach the bottom part to your glidecam and the sliding plate to your t2i and away you go...after the fun part balancing it all, of course. When I use this with a slider, I have the base on the tripod, the sliding plate on the bottom of the slider, the pan head on the slider, another one of these on the top of the pan head with the sliding plate on the bottom of the camera. That's where getting an extra sliding plate comes in handy. Then you can go from slider to glidecam quickly without having to screw around with mounting anything, only sliding your camera with the Manfrotto plate onto whatever you want to use in the moment.
