Is it possible to mount a follow focus, the Camera/Camcorder Mount slider looks to be too tall from the rails

The height on the mount can be adjusted. So yes you can use your follow focus.

You can definitely mounted. Not sure how well the camera will line up for video

Look closely at the picture of the view finder. You'll notice a tripod size screw in a metal plate. The slots cut in the metal are for adjustment forward, back and side to side.I use one on my Canon t3i and it's excellent. It's easy to mount and you can fit it to cover the entire screen which makes the screen your view finder for video and easy to see and and use.I've been using mine for several months with excellent results. Remember also it's always best to use manual focus with video along with an VR lens. Good luck

Honestly this particular camera sold with this is different than my model. I am sure you can even buy a new mount and change it out. Easy to mod. Mine I could angle down with pliers

Yes, it can be used vertically so long as what ever you're mounting it to can be configured to support the slider. It has three places where a tripod can be mounted so as long as your tripod has a tilt head, the slider can tilt with it. This slider, for me at least, is a disappointment though. The little rubber feet (meant to keep it still on a slippery surface) wobble so much that I had to take them off. Perhaps It's designed with that option in mind though.

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 am not familiar with your camera, but I am guessing that it is too thick to allow the angle you want. So you need some extension links to get the camera above the mounting plate. There are probably several choices on Amazon, including the "Ball Joint Mount for GoPro Hero and Compatible Action Camera."

Not very sure regarding the question. But for me no problem. I just screw the tripod mount under the viewfinder screw and no problem. Make sure to tighten enough or else it would defeat the purpose of tripod.

My son does not use a normal camera but a Lumix gh2 which needs the normal 1/4 by 20 threads, I am not sure what that large size thread is on the slider. but there needs to be an adaptor of some kind.

Hi Marv, The knobs on the legs adjust the camera head, with the camera, up and down. I think you maybe asking 'How do I create a shot that starts low and moves up (or starts up and moves down low) while the video camera is recording.' You can't do that kind of a shot with this tripod. That kind of shot is called a pedestal shot. It's used in heavy (and expensive) studio tripods. So if you are shooting on location that's not practical. What you might want to look at to get that kind of shot is a 'Jib'. You set your camera on an end of a bar or pipe with a counter balance at the other end. In the middle is a stand that acts as a fulcrum, like a kids teeter-totter. Now the camera can move up and down, that's called a jib shot or a crane shot. Jibs come in all prices and sizes. I've seen videos on You-Tube how to make one with plastic pipe and $40 of stuff from a hardware store. I've seen large professional ones that take 3 people to assemble and operate. Vari-Zoom, the company that made your tripod, sells them. I don't known the price. You could also use a Steady-Cam or Glide-Cam to create the same shot. This is were the camera is mounted to a rig that is mounted to the camera operator and allows the camera to move up and down. Again, there's all kinds and all price ranges, and of course if you only need one for a few days, you can rent a Jib or a Steady/Glide Cam.

Onto the sliding device in the middle. Their should be a spot to screw in directly into your camera.

You need to attach a tripod to the slider and attach your camera to the tripod,

You can shoot from front of disto or set it to shoot from bottom of disto. If that was what you were after. Not sure if you can adjust for tripod thread.

You would need longer rails to support lense length and I would assume you would be using a cinema adaptor at end of you fixed ENG lens?.. A Letus cinema adaptor?

Hi Christopher, try checking third party mounts compatible with your Action Camcorder. -Vincent

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.

Well you have to have a mount or 'hot shoe' on the camera or camcorder. You can also use a tripod.
