Several generations of Sliders have seen the light of day since the start in 1997.
Both small and large, silent and noisy, motorized and manual.

Here are a few examples:
IGUS camera slider 1
The image above (left) is a IGUS 16-60 rail type slider with standard IGUS linear gliders, and to the right a well used and modified IGUS Slider with wheels for silent and super smooth operation. Both sliders can be tilted for diagonal camera movement.

Bogbone Camera Slider 3
Above is the DogBone Camera slider with modified skateboard wheels. This one is also smooth and silent.
