New quality of work with the slider

Make the Zeapon Micro 3 slider even more powerful. Combine it with the drive module and discover the true magic of smooth shots with motion automation. This unique kit will give you even more control over the captured image and perfect repeatable shots.

Ocean of possibilities

Parallel driving, invasions, departures, zooms, distances – each of these will add movement to your shots! This will make the video footage you create even more interesting. Equipping the Zeapon Micro 3 slider with a drive module will allow you to automate your camera movement, ensuring exceptional precision. The powerful motor offered by the drive module will enable operation not only in the horizontal position. When the slider is installed on a tripod, movement can also take place at an angle and even vertically.

Fast installation

Connecting the drive module to the slider takes just a few seconds. Installing or removing the motor only requires the turning of two screws. The drive module is not connected to the belt and movement is transmitted via a robust gear wheel. Changing from manual to automated operation is therefore easier than ever!

Remote control

With the free Zeapon Lab app (for iOS and Android), operating the drive module for the Zeapon Micro 3 Slider will become even more convenient and you will gain more freedom of operation. Program movement sequences, control the separately available Zeapon Pons heads and control the motor in real time. The app will open up new possibilities, giving you access to unique tools to create beautiful timelapses, time-lapse animations or spectacular panoramas.

Additional-powered

The drive module for the Zeapon Micro 3 slider features an NP-F battery socket. This means you don’t have to worry about accessing a power socket when you’re working away from home. And when you run out of the last battery while creating long timelapses, you can always reach for a power bank or a 5 V and 2 A power adapter and use the USB-C port to further extend the running time.

You need an NP-F series battery to operate the slider, the POWER BANK is an additional power source.

Easy operation

On the casing of the drive module for the Zeapon Micro 3 slider, you will find ergonomic buttons to control the device when you don’t want to connect to the app. With these, you can control the rig in real time or automate its operation. Pressing the switch will also allow you to switch between 3 different speed levels. One glance at the LEDs is all it takes to get an idea of how fast your camera is moving.

The magic of timelapses

The drive module connected to the Zeapon Micro 3 slider will allow you to create moving timelapses, on which you will present the passage of time invisible to the naked eye. Program the device, check how the frames look in different camera positions and let the whole process happen automatically. The Zeapon Lab app will count by itself how many frames you need to get the desired effect, and will also tell you how long it will take to create a short video from hundreds of photos.

In the interest of continuous development

If you already own a Zeapon Micro 3 series slider, the drive module will be the next step towards new skills and more professional shots. However, this is only the beginning of your ‘motion control’ adventure. Panoramas, 360º stills and movies, Inception-like shots, programmable movements in different planes and even more refined timelapses are all possible with more devices to add to your video essentials. Explore the modular Zeapon product family, develop your skills and create even better videos and photos!
