Slider AXIS Zeapon 80 — motorized camera slider for video and timelapse, 80 cm travel

AXIS Zeapon 80 is a motorized camera slider offering 80 cm of controlled linear travel for smooth tracking shots, video production and timelapse photography. Designed for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and compact cinema rigs, the slider delivers repeatable, precise motion that helps achieve consistent framing and fluid camera moves when combined with compatible heads or mounts.

Advantages

The motorized drive system provides accurate speed control and repeatable slide paths, enabling consistent results between takes. Its 80 cm travel balances reach and portability, making the slider practical for both studio setups and location shoots. The construction prioritizes stable, vibration-minimized motion suitable for slow cinematic moves and long-exposure timelapse sequences. Compatibility with common mounting systems allows integration with tripods, motorized heads and accessories for pan-tilt or multi-axis setups.

Suitable for

• Shooting cinematic tracking shots for short films and commercials
• Producing product videos and interviews with smooth camera moves
• Capturing timelapse sequences with precise incremental motion
• Controlled motion for B-roll and dynamic scene coverage

Key specifications

• Travel length: 80 cm of linear motion
• Motorized drive for programmable and steady movement
• Designed for use with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and small cinema rigs
• Mounting interface compatible with standard tripods and heads
• Constructed for low-vibration operation and stable tracking

How to use

Mount the slider securely on a pair of tripods or flat supports and attach a compatible camera or head according to the camera’s mounting standard. Set the motorized controller parameters for speed, direction and travel distance to match the desired shot. For timelapse, configure incremental steps and exposure intervals before starting the sequence. Verify level and balance before recording, and perform a test pass to confirm framing and motion smoothness.

Usage recommendations

Use the slider on stable supports and ensure the camera’s mass is within the slider’s recommended payload range. For long timelapse runs, power the motor from a reliable external source to avoid interruptions. Combine the slider with a compatible pan-tilt head when simultaneous panning is required, and perform regular maintenance such as cleaning rails and checking fittings to maintain smooth operation.
