Overview

The Neewer CS120CM is a 47.2-inch camera slider constructed from carbon fiber rail tubes and aircraft-grade aluminum, striking an effective balance between structural rigidity and portability at just 4.1lb. Its 22mm rail tube diameter is notably larger than many competing sliders, which translates directly into greater stability and less flex during use — an important factor when shooting with heavier camera rigs. The carriage rides on 4 high-precision bearings that deliver genuinely smooth, noiseless motion, and a side-mounted tension knob lets you fine-tune the resistance to match your desired slide speed. Whether you need a slow, controlled dolly movement or a faster sweep, the adjustable friction gives you direct tactile control.

Versatility is a key strength of the CS120CM. The adjustable legs feature 360° angle control with audible click stops for precise positioning, and they extend from 8 to 10cm in height to accommodate uneven surfaces. A built-in spirit level lets you verify the slider is properly leveled after each adjustment. With 1/4" and 3/8" mounting threads on the bottom and both ends, the slider can be mounted on tripods or light stands for horizontal, 45° tilted, or fully vertical shooting configurations. The top-mounted 1/4" screw is compatible with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, camcorders, and telephoto lenses. A carrying bag is included, making the CS120CM easy to pack up and take to any location shoot.

Key Features

【Thicker Carbon Fiber Rail Tubes】 Made of carbon fiber and aircraft aluminum, this camera slider ensures durability while remaining lightweight. Its 22mm rail tube diameter is larger than most camera sliders, providing extra stability and smoothness to your shots. The maximum load capacity is 22lb/10kg when placed horizontally, 11lb/5kg when tilted up 45° and 5.5lb/2.5kg vertically

【Noiseless Smooth Sliding Motion】 Featuring 4 high precision bearings, the carrier glides smoothly along the 47.2"/120cm rails to create seamless and noiseless video content, without any distracting noises that could ruin the video. A tension knob on the side allows you to position the carriage with ease

【Adjustable Legs & Spirit Level】 Comes with adjustable legs that can be set to different angles and heights. The 360° angle control is precise, with each adjustment producing a click sound, while the legs can be adjusted from 8 to 10cm in height for greater stability on uneven surfaces. A built in spirit level helps check the stability after each adjustment

【Versatile Shooting Options】With 1/4" and 3/8" mounting threads on the bottom and each end, this video slider can be mounted on a tripod or light stand, and shoot horizontally, vertically, or even at 45° tilt. The top 1/4" mounting screw is compatible with Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic Samsung DSLR cameras, DV Camcorders, mirrorless cameras, action cameras (adapter not included), smartphones (phone holder not included), telephoto lenses, and more

【Easy to Carry and Store】 The aluminum and carbon fiber construction weighs 4.1lb/1.84kg itself, and adds no bulk to your luggage with the included carrying bag, making it easy to carry, transport, and store and perfect for outdoor photography

Frequently Asked Questions

The slider supports up to 22lb/10kg when used horizontally, 11lb/5kg when tilted at 45°, and 5.5lb/2.5kg when mounted vertically. Make sure to account for the combined weight of your camera, lens, and any accessories.
The CS120CM uses 4 high-precision bearings designed for noiseless operation. The carriage glides quietly enough that sliding sounds should not be picked up by on-camera microphones during normal use.
Yes, the slider has 1/4" and 3/8" mounting threads on the bottom and at each end, allowing you to mount it on a tripod or light stand for horizontal, vertical, or 45° tilted shooting positions.
The tension knob on the side of the carriage lets you adjust the friction of the slide. Increasing tension gives you more controlled, slower movements, while loosening it allows free, faster sliding — helpful for dialing in the exact motion speed you need for a shot.
