GETTING STARTED

Place the CS-CPS-20a Expanding Caterpillar Slider on a steady surface. When used on its feet, e.g., on the ground or a table, the CS-CPS-20a offers 18" of sliding. You can adjust the length of the feet to prevent the slider from wobbling and fine-tune the position of the slider.

To extend the foot, rotate it clockwise. To retract the foot, rotate it counterclockwise. (Fig. 1)

Tip: Use the onboard bubble level to determine whether your shot is aligned with the horizon.

MOUNTING THE SLIDER

You can use a heavy-duty tripod or light stand to support the slider and gain both height and tracking length. When mounted, the CS-CPS-20a delivers 30" of sliding length. The slider's mounting base is equipped with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 sockets.

To mount the slider, follow these steps:

1. Center the mounting base on the slider, and lock it down by tightening the brake. (Fig. 2)

2. Align your tripod's threaded post with the corresponding mounting socket in the slider's mounting base. Place the slider onto the threaded post and carefully rotate the tripod until fully attached. (Fig. 3)

3. Mount your camera to the slider according to the directions below.

Note: To avoid wobbling and camera shake, use sand bags or other weights to stabilize your tripod.

MOUNTING YOUR CAMERA/TRIPOD HEAD TO THE SLIDER

Important!

Before mounting your camera, lock down the camera base by tightening the brake.

The camera base's 1/4"-20 mount comes with the included 3/8"-16 bushing preinstalled. If your tripod head has a 1/4"-20 socket, remove the 3/8"-16 bushing from the mount before attaching your tripod head.

To mount a camera or tripod head, follow these steps:

1. Loosen the mounting plate locks and remove the top mounting plate from the camera base. (Fig. 4)
2. Align the mounting post with the mounting socket of your camera or tripod head, and screw the top mounting plate in. (Fig. 5) Use a Phillips screwdriver to fully tighten.
3. Place the assembly onto the camera base, and tighten the mounting plate locks until secure.

Note: For heads that are wider than the mounting plate, use the included set screws and T9 hex keyto tighten the mounting plate to the slider.

USING THE SLIDER

Once your camera is mounted, loosen the brake and use your tripod head's pan handle to move your camera along the slider. If the slider is positioned at an incline, keep one hand on the camera base before loosening the brake.
