Photographers looking for a portable and handy way to add extra creativity to their video and camera footage might be interested in a new product which has landed on the Kickstarter website called AirTracks.
AirTracks has been designed by Tom Baker to provide users with a handy way of always having a video slider available to use for silky smooth movements. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the AirTracks project and see it in action.
Innovative Design and Portability
Tom Baker, the gadget’s creator, explains: “The AirTracks is an inflatable slider system, meant to replace the weight and bulkiness of metal sliders. Going on hikes and trying to get onto airplanes with a traditional metal slider is neither fun nor easy. The AirTracks takes the silky-smooth movements of a metal slider, and shrinks it down to the size of a small lens. This makes it extremely easy to go place to place without having to worry about airport security, carrying cumbersome gear on hikes, or damaging your expensive metal slider. Plus, you can always keep a 5-foot slider tucked inside your camera bag, so you’ll have it whenever it’s needed!”
The AirTracks system is not only lightweight but also incredibly compact when deflated. This makes it an ideal companion for travel photographers and videographers who often find themselves in remote locations where carrying heavy equipment is impractical. The inflatable nature of the AirTracks means it can be set up quickly and easily, providing a stable platform for capturing smooth, professional-quality footage.
Versatility and Practical Applications
One of the standout features of AirTracks is its versatility. Unlike traditional sliders that are limited by their rigid structure, the inflatable design of AirTracks allows it to be used on a variety of surfaces, including uneven terrain. This opens up new creative possibilities for photographers and videographers, enabling them to capture dynamic shots in environments where traditional sliders would be unusable.
For example, imagine shooting a time-lapse video of a sunrise over a rocky landscape. With a traditional metal slider, setting up the shot would be challenging due to the uneven ground. However, with AirTracks, you can easily inflate the slider and position it securely on the rocks, ensuring smooth and stable camera movements.
Additionally, the AirTracks system is designed to be durable and resilient. Made from high-quality materials, it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use, including exposure to the elements. This makes it a reliable tool for adventure photographers and filmmakers who need equipment that can keep up with their demanding shoots.
