Extralite G3 Mini and Mini R Camera Sliders
The G3 Mini is making an excellent slider for smartphones, compact cameras and the nowdays more and more popular micro mirroless system cameras, such as the Panasonic GM1, the Canon EOS M or the wonderfull Sony RX100 series.
The G3 Mini was redesigned from the ground up to perfectly work with light camera gears. The goal was to design a full lenght, truly light weight slider with the well know, rigidity, smooth / silent operation of the EXTRALITE slider family, let it be affordable at a really high standard.
The EXTRALITE G3 Mini is a carbon rail, bamboo​ structure made camera slider. Similarly to it's bigger brothers its extremly light weight, solid and really well featured. It has its own "all terrain" legs and of course when is needed you can utulise its centre tripod mount. All Wood-Comp sliders featuring a "magnetic side support" (see picture on the left) which connects to the still ball at the end of the slider and connects back on a baseplate on the leg of your tripod, results in a solid platform for those full lenght sliding shots. Its available in 2 sizes with option of vertical pulley system.

"The G3 Mini is the natural evolution of the well regarded "original" Extralite slider. Regardless the small size, the G3 mini is a true ball bearing slider with identical capabilities of it's full size brothers. It's costume designed to fulfil its purpose, manufactured to the highest attention to details with CNC milling technologie."
Standard Features
The smallest and the lightest of the Extralite family, yet extremly capable!
The G3 Mini is available in 2 popular sizes just like its big brothers. Just because you use a small camera, you still need a proper lenght slider to express your creativity. Its builds up by carbon rails and bamboo hardware. Its a little jewel really with its really simple yet precise parts, thanks to high precision CNC milling.
Performing a smooth, silent ride is a must! No compromise
The carriege of the G3 Mini is carring over the super smooth and silent operation of the "original" EXTRALITE. It's riged with 8 EZO (Made in Japan) high precision ball-bearings, the motion is really smooth and costant in all orientation. In addition to smoothnes it is surprisingly silent too thanks to the Polyurethane running surface of the bearings. This Polyurethane rings are made in Hungary. The density (Shore) of the Polyurethane itself is costume tuned for our request which results in this very nice feel of carriege move.
Vertical pulley system bulit in..
All of our camera sliders are aquiped with built in vertical pulley system. As is incorporated into the design is always at hand when you need it!
Centre tripod mount is just the start..
Thanks to its robust middle support plate, you can mount your camera slider on the top of your tripod virtually in any angle.
In addition to this, the slider is coming as standard with a special "Magnetic Side-Support". It will allow you to use just a single tripod, yet have your slider absolutly ridgid during your full lenght sliding shots. ( on any tripod, regardless the brand and size of legs as well as any spread of the legs.) It's stowed on the side of your slider so is always at hand to use.
The Telescopic Magnetic Side-Support..
STABILITY! It is the single most imortant thing to be able to perform a good shot! We dont have the chance to carry two tripod all the time and really, who wants to carry two!? The solution is here in the form of the magnetic side support! It will enable you to have a solid platform, yet you dont even notice that is with you.
It is magnetically connecting onto one leg of your tripod and to the end of your slider. It is telescopic so will ecomdodate any situation and agle. Twist it to lock it down and you are ready to shoot! On Wood-Comp models it stows back between the rails at the bottom of the slider (see picture) so its always at hand.
It is also available and highly advised to use with any 3rd party camera sliders as long as is equiped with a 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 mounting option at it's end.
All-terrain legs as standard
One of the basic design principal was that the slider should be equiped with all-terrain legs for convenient use on any ground.
Magnetic end-stops
This is an other revolutionary solution only seen at some of the high end cinema industry motion tools! The opposed polarity magnets will make you feel noticed without looking, that you are reaching the end of your slider. From about the last 2 cm / 3/4" you will feel a cushion like, gradual slow down.
All Wood-Comp gear is coming with padded carry case. Your slider is an invesmant which must be protected.
Talking of any camera support or motion tool you must handle it with care so it will serve you for long years to come. From the very beginning I wanted to include a stowing solution, which is simple and protects you slider form the elements. The carry case is made for size and to precise fit. It is constructed of 10mm padded cordoba and is featuring an adjustable strap for convenient sling stile of wearing.
Optional Features
Subject tracking, Parallax effect..
The G3 Classic R upgrade will elevate your slider "bag of tricks" to something very special! The R upgrade kit is incorporating a rotating table built into the carriege and an adjustable crossbar between the main rails of your slider. When the crossbar set to parallel to the main rails, your slider operating as you would normally expect it from a camera slider. Although, if you start to adjust this crossbar in an angle and set the first and last key frame of your shot you will be able to track your subject or talent while the sliding movement in any selected area of the frame. Further more, if you turn your slider around, instead of the centre orientated option you will get a panoramic sort of motion through out your slide.
Note: on the video the camera slider is a prototype and is not identical to the curent model!
