Rent Camera Sliders

Sliders have been such essential tools to create beautiful moves from side to side or in and out without needing a huge track and a heavy dolly for a fraction of the cost. You can easily recreate very similar moves as dollies and come in various sizes for any production need.

A drawback from most sliders is that they are only 2-4’ long which can be difficult to use on long shots. Works great for short clips though. A premium feature found on many cameras sliders is an integrated motor. Motorized sliders guarantee precision and smoothness when sliding your camera. 

If there’s a camera slider you have your sights on purchasing, with BorrowLenses you can try out all kinds of sliders, before you buy, ensuring you’re thrilled with the gear you add to your kit. In additional to sliders, BorrowLenses also provides camera rentals, lens rentals, and support gear.

Can I Rent a Camera Slider? 

Absolutely! You can rent a Kessler 3’ Cineslider for as little as $8 a day, for 3-90 days. Most camera sliders are very easy to assemble and operate. The main purpose of a slider is to create some movement to your shot instead of leaving it still. Having your shot still can make your shot boring and stale. Adding motion to your shots can elevate your production value.

Equipment Rental Advantages

If you need to use something one time, you can keep money in your wallet by renting the item at an affordable rate rather that purchasing it at full price. In fact, in some cases, you may be able to rent the same item numerous times without even spending the amount of the purchase price. Renting allows you to see if you like a product before you buy it. It is much easier to spend a smaller amount on a rental, only to realize you don't like the item, than to buy it at a higher price and realize the same.

What are Sliders and Dollies Used For?

Having a slider or dolly will add so much production value and emotion to your films. Sliders and dollies create motion from side to side and back forth to add emotion to your footage. When a character is talking about something serious on camera, add a sliding move going forward to really feel what the character is going through. When establishing a scene, add a motion from left to right to introduce the scene.
