Abstract (en)
A camera is mounted on a slider (200) having a base (24) and a tubular hollow arm (20) pivotally attached to the base. A counterweight carriage (34) is supported on the arm on carriage rollers (46, 48). An electric drive motor (102) moves the counterweight carriage linearly on top of the arm. A slider counterweight (218) is movable from a first position, wherein the counterweight carriage is at or adjacent to a first end of the arm and the slider counterweight is at or adjacent to a second end of the arm, and a second position wherein the counterweight carriage is at the second end of the arm, opposite from the first end, and the slider counterweight is at or adjacent to the first end of the arm. The arm remains balanced regardless of the movement or position of the camera slider.
