Can I use this on a slider?

I can't answer that, but I use mine on a monopod and it's great for that because of it's relatively small size

Yes you can. I prefer using this ball head over a tripod head. I think you will really like it once you get comfortable with it.

Yes you can. I use it on a glidetrack (glidetrack.com) slider and it works far better than a bulky tripod head. Only thing to check is the size of the thread on your slider, you may need some sort of adapter for the tread size. Here is a good one: Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter.I use the Lumix gh2 camera with this and it works great. I would caution you that adding a lot of weigh to your slider can limit performance. I would recommend a slider with ball-bearings.

Yes. Suggest you visit the maker's website for detail: http://opteka.com/slidecopier.aspx

The head is removable but you cant use in a slider as it is a "half ball head". The one you need to use with a slider is a "flat ball head" to screw in the slider cradle. A inexpensive and good option is this: AmazonBasics 67-Inch Video Camera Tripod with Bag This is the one I use with my konova slider.

Of course. My panasonic camera can be used on camera sliders, camera jibs aswell as tripods.

No, you can us the legs on a flat surface. However you may want a tripod head to mount your camera to the slider.

I have mine installed in a double hung window I do not see how it would work in a side slider installation

I don't know if it will work on slides & film, it works great on camera lenses. I would suggest you contact the Manufacturer in Canada.

Hi, thanks for your question. According to the product information, the sliders are designed for use on box drawer applications up to 24" wide. For future reference, you can find this information in the "Product Description" section of the product page. I hope this helps!

I would think so, but don't really know! But I've used mine on wood flooring with no issues. The plastic bottom is smooth on the slider.

Certainly. I put a Bosch 12" compound double bevel slider on mine and it works great.

Yes, it can be used with no slide. It is very easy to connect and disconnect the slide.

Yes, just put the mounting plate on top of the tripod and then put this on top....that's how i set it up on my slider cam, love this product...

I don't know why you can't. I'm using mine with a 12" slider and it works fine. I love it couldn't part with it. I'd rate this 5 stars.

I own this slider. And, based on the knowledge I have of this product, I would have to say yes - this will mount to most any tripod. With standard mounting holes on the underside of the middle and at both ends, it makes it easy to mount to either a tripod (middle mount) or two stands (end mounts).

It could be mounted on a slider, but the drag settings even when completely backed off to minimum would probably still be too tight causing it to always slide when trying to pan while it's on the slider.

Sure can but if you can afford a couple more bucks buy something/Anything else this is a total piece of garbage I've had it 4 months and don't use it because one channel is gone. ...kaput....And two slider know broken thru gentle use. ...

Denise, this unit may not be the best for you since there would be a need to find a device to block air from the top of the slider which comes with the unit to the top of your sliding door. Further, unless your living space is on the 2nd or 3rd floor and on a balcony it may not be safe to use the unit in that way. Hope this helps.
