Gearcontact Shark Slider Levelling Platform

thingiverse

This bolt-on leveling platform boosts camera stability on the shark slider. Four existing threaded M6 holes in the cart's corners provide mounting points, keeping the camera gear perfectly level without the need for a ball head mounted to the slider. Reducing wobbling and minimizing overall height are major advantages of this setup. It is also much lighter than carrying an additional ball head, saving you hassle during long shoots. To make adjustments, thumbscrews work well, but using an Allen wrench driver ensures secure tightening. The platform can remain mounted on the cart throughout the project.
