1 | Setup up Slide
Step 2. Remove end caps from rails (Figure 1)
Step 3. Remove outrigger leg from rails (Figure 2)
Step 4. Attach additional rails, screw together all the way
Step 5. Move rail brace to the center where the rails connect (Figure 3)
Step 6. Replace outrigger leg and end caps
Slider Assembly (The slider comes partially assembled)
Step 1. First take your slider and un-fold the outrigger legs by loosening the knobs. Position the legs so
your slider is standing. For ideal balance, you don’t want legs too narrow or too spread apart
Be sure to push outrigger legs all the way on, this is important for putting on the belt

The side with the raised Cinetics lettering
is the brake, tighten or loosen to engage or
disengage brake. The other side is the
tensioner, tighten to make sure it is tight
enough to keep the weight of the camera
level on the rails without tightening too
much to restrict the slide.

Cart Overview
Attach the motor drive belt
TIP: It is important that the belt is taut and without any slack
Step 7. Take one end of the belt and loop it under the cart so you won’t have to thread it through later
(Figure 4)
Step 8. Push the belt loop down with your finger and lock into the cart hook. You want the grooved side
of the belt facing inward. Pull tight so there is no extra room around the hook (Figure 5)
Step 9. Put on brake to stop your cart from moving
Step 10. Loosen pulley tensioner and bring all the way forward (Figure 6)

Attach the motor drive belt cont.
Step 11. Loop the belt around the pulley with the grooved side inward for grip (Figure 7)
Step 12. Thread belt under the cart and loop belt around the motor on the other end of the slider (Figure 8)
Step 13. Release brake on the cart by loosening the brake
TIP: To attach the other belt loop you can use your hand to push the cart toward the belt loop you are
hooking on, this will reduce any slack in the belt (Figure 9)
Step 14. Push the other belt loop down over the hook (Figure 10)
Step 15. Tighen pulley tensioner by pushing it away from the cart, then secure it by tightening the knob;
The belt should be taut (Figure 11)

Step 18. Screw Clamp onto ballhead and arca-style plate into your camera
Connect Motor to Controller
Step 19. Plug motor cable into Motor Port (Figure 14)
Step 20. Snap motor onto the Male Quick Connect piece next to the motor (Figure 15)
TIP: Snap the Quick Connect pieces together by first positioning them together at an angle then
pushing downward and forward like popping on a bottle cap (Figure 16)

Attach Slider to Tripod(s)
You can mount the Axis360 on any tripod by connecting it to the rail brace or outrigger legs. The Rail
Brace has a 3/8"-16 thread and the Outrigger Legs have 1/4”- 20 threads. The Slider can be mounted
horizontally or vertically.

Parts Needed:
Arca-style plate
Motor
Ballhead
Controller
Tripod
There are two preferred setup options:
Option 1. Attachment for Tripod
Step 1. Attach Axis360 Motor to tripod (Figure 19 & 20)
Step 2. Place ballhead on Axis360 Motor and attach the clamp to it (Figure 21)
Step 3. Attach arca style plate to camera and slide into clamp
TIP: Make sure clamp is securely tightened
Step 4. Connect cable to controller Camera Port (Figure 14)
Step 5. Snap the controller onto the motor using the quick connect pieces (Figure 15, 16 & 21)
2 | Setup up Pan
For heavier cameras we recommend a sturdy ballhead. You can attach a clamp directly onto the
motor (instead of the ballhead).

Option 2. Attachment for Slider
This set up is preferred for mounting on the slider for a SLIDE AND PAN though it also works on a tripod.
Step 1. Separate ballhead from Male Quick Connect (Figure 22 & 23) and set aside
TIP: Make sure the ballhead grip is un-tightened. It’s easier to un-snap the piece when the ballhead is
connected to something such as a tripod
Step 2. Screw Threaded Male Quick Connect into Motor and snap ballhead onto that connector (Figure 24)
