The Syrp Magic Carpet PRO Short Slider Kit is a professional-grade manual slider designed to support heavy cinema camera rigs with a maximum horizontal payload of 70 lbs (32 kg). This 2-foot (61cm) aluminum alloy system is engineered for durability and precision, featuring a unique integrated flywheel in the carriage that adds inertia to smooth out hand-operated tracking shots. For more varied production needs, the flywheel can be quickly disengaged with the press of a button. The kit is also fully compatible with motion control systems like the Genie II Linear, allowing filmmakers to easily upgrade from manual slides to automated time-lapses or video moves.

A standout feature of this system is its tool-less, modular design, which uses precision-machined track joiners and quick-release levers for rapid assembly and infinite extension. The carriage includes a patent-pending quick-release system for mounting fluid heads or cameras instantly, while the end caps feature collapsible legs with markers for easy leveling on uneven terrain without a tripod. Despite its robust build, the short kit remains portable for on-the-go sets and includes protective carry bags. Users can find this professional kit at retailers like B&H Photo-Video-Audio and Full Compass Systems.
