Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to the channel. Now, today,
I'm going to be giving you a demonstration on how you can create a vertical
slide using the rhino slider.
And this is using arcii as well.
So using the rhino slider system with arcii, and the high torque Motor,
and what this set up allows you to do is to get a nice vertical slide.
So for example, even if you didn't have the arcii system,
when you had the evo system, you can still get a nice vertical,
smooth slide up and down using the system.
Now with the arc two,
you can then go up step further and get that nice parallax shot.
Um, which is what I use it for most often in this configuration.
So I'm going to put a couple of shots on the screen where I've used this
configuration, where I've used this particular setup,
so you can see what it is I'm talking about. So in this video,
I'm going to tell you all the things that you're going to need to create this
setup,
and some things to take into consideration when you're using this particular
setup. So the first thing that you're gonna need is a vertical upright.
So in this case, I'm using a C stand as my upright,
and that is where I'm going to Mount the setup to. So nine out of 10 times,
when I'm using this setup, I'm using it with one of these autopoles right here.
And that is just for increased stability.
So with the C stand just here, you know,
that might be prone to a little bit of shake.
So you gotta be very mindful of that when you're using this on a,
on a system like this. Um,
but that depends on where you are and what scenario you're using it.
And your obviously won't be able to use an Autopole if you use an this outside,
because you need that compression from, you know, uh, uh, uh,
a ceiling or something like this. So next up,
you're going to need a way of attaching the actual rails to the mounting support.
So in this case, we're using super clamps.
So these are super clamps from Manfrotto.
So we have two of these on either end of the rail and the rail is
attached to the SuperClamp just using these spigots here.
So that's the SuperClamp,
you're gonna need the spigots on each end to attach these.
So when you're using this under normal circumstances on a horizontal plane,
you'll be attaching the head directly. to the carriage plate right here,
what you're going to need now is something to interface between the plate and
this control unit right here. So what I have is just a simple ball head. Now,
you can get a 90 degree plate for this,
and I'll link some of these alternatives in the description below. But for me,
I just had this ball head right here and at hand.
So this is what I'm using to create a bit of space between
the plate and the unit,
and also to convert this 90 degrees using the ball head
system. And so now the control unit is sitting the right way up. Now,
bear in mind that this is not designed to work the other way.
Like I just had it. It's not designed for that. So it is not going to work. Um,
the motors aren't designed to take that,
that kind of weight when it's in that position. So it needs to be horizontal.
It needs to be operated like this at all times. And now you're ready to go.
All you gotta do is set up your key frames like you would normally, um,
to set your motion from the in and the old point, just the way you want it.
So here's a few things to take into consideration when you have in a setup like
this, now let's start with the system or the support system,
whatever that is that you're going to be using. So make sure that it's secure.
Um, for example, in this case,
I've got a few sandbags on the legs of this C stand to make sure that
my whole system doesn't topple over whilst it's in use.
So that's the first thing. Now, secondly,
you got to make sure that everything is tightened up.
So your super clamps make sure that they're tight,
make sure that the spigots are loose, um,
and your attachment points are not loose as well.
So you're going to make sure that whatever is that you using as the interface
yet in this case, this is a ball joint.
I made sure that these are tightened up really tight so that they're not going
to shift. Um,
and I don't want to cause the camera on and assist them to fail or to fall.
You also have to pay attention to the weight of the setup as well.
And kind of just gauge your limitations with respect to this.
Now this is a small camera and in the settings on the control unit,
I have that set to small camera and what that means,
it allows me a greater degree of tilt than if it was set to a large camera.
So it doesn't essentially allow larger cameras to tilt forward that
much. And that's just to ease up the, the distress on the, on the,
on the tilt motor in that plane. So just be mindful of that,
depending on what size of camera that you have attached on here,
that brings us nicely on to the motto. So in this case,
we're using the Heights or motto and yes,
while it's a lot slower,
it's a lot stronger and can deal with a lot heavier payload
on top of this system like this,
especially moving it up in a vertical plane, why it's this horizontal?
It might not have a problem, but as soon as you put it here,
obviously gravity is working against you and that might be an issue.
So definitely it needs to use the high top mortar when you use the vertical
setup. And in addition to that as well,
we've got to make sure that the belt is tight.
The tension on the belt needs to be really tight.
Are we going to find you're going to get slippage?
So make some adjustments to your belt if it's too Slack so that we don't have
slippage whilst the carriage is going up and down on the
slide. No.
Another thing to think about here as well is this cable and your cable
management when it comes to, and now if you can have this cable out of the way,
that would be ideal in this case,
I'm using the long cable to prevent it from snugging.
So this is the long cable that comes with the system is that you get a short one
for use with a short slider and a long one for the longest lighters.
So I'm using the long one on this application anyway,
because I want to prevent it from snagging,
especially if I'm not paying attention to it at that time,
I don't want it causing stress or getting it snugged up here.
By the time it gets to the end of the travel, you know, you've got the cable,
you know, getting in the way and getting destroyed. And in the same token,
in the same breath,
we also going to make sure that as the courage comes down on a slider, it,
this has a tendency to try and get in the way. Um,
and even when it gets to the end of the trouble,
sometimes it can get caught in between there and the end of the slider.
So just look out for things like that.
And one final thing is that because we use in the high top mater,
remember to change that setting in the control unit.
So you can select a few using the high torque Moto or the fast motto on here.
So if you're going to change out the mortar to use the high top for this
application,
make sure that you update that within the settings on the control unit.
And that is essentially it guys. So I know when you buy a slider,
you don't really at first think about using it vertically,
but at some point your creativity gets to you or whatever, or you seen it,
or you see a shot that you want to recreate and you want to have this, uh,
set up. And I noticed video is quite specific to this particular, um,
slider system by rhino,
but I'm sure the principle could be applied across other slightest systems.
Uh, you know, I hope you found this useful. If you did leave a comment below,
