Accsoon has just launched two new interesting compact, motorized video sliders: the TopRig S40 and S60. Both have built-in physical controls, can produce automatic slides, and have parallax capabilities with a maximum payload capacity of 4kg horizontally and 2.5kg vertically. So let’s take a closer look at these sliders!

Chinese manufacturer Accsoon is mainly known for making wireless video transmission systems such as the CineView Nano that they recently announced. The company is now expanding its lineup of products with camera movement accessories by introducing its first motorized video sliders: the TopRig S40 and S60.

Accsoon TopRig S40 and S60 – features

The Accsoon TopRig S40 has a physical length of 41cm/16.1in and a camera travel distance of 22.5cm/8.85in, while the TopRig S60 is 61cm/24in long with a 42.5cm/16.73in camera travel distance. Both models are made entirely out of metal. The sliders have a maximum payload capacity of 4kg/8.81lbs horizontally and 2.5kg/5.51lbs vertically.

On the right side of the TopRig sliders, you’ll find a built-in Sony NP-F battery plate to power them, control buttons, and a speed adjustment knob. The motor that powers the sliders is below that plate and has a built-in fan. Accsoon says you can power the sliders for up to 60 hours with one NP-F 550 battery. Also, there is a 7.4V-16.8V DC barrel connector for unlimited runtime. Lastly, there is a 5V USB-C output port that can be used to charge your phone and power small camera accessories.

The speed of the sliders can be adjusted from 0.1cm/s to 5cm/s. The built-in control buttons allow you to set up A and B start/stop points and create a loop. Furthermore, you can use the Accsoon TopRig app to control the sliders with your smartphone. According to Accsoon, the sliders should be smooth and stable enough for macro shots.

On the left side of the sliders, you’ll find a built-in bubble level and a knob that allows you to adjust and set up the built-in parallax mechanism. Accsoon mentions that you have to “place the slider square on to your subject, make sure that both ends of the slider are equal distance from the subject, then move the camera to one end and use the adjustment bar to angle the camera in towards the subject. Once done, the camera will slide up and down, continually aiming the camera at the subject.“

On top of the slider, you’ll find a 3/8″-16 mounting screw that can be pushed down to reveal a 1/4″-20 screw to attach a ballhead or fluid head. The sliders have built-in feet and a 3/8″-16 mounting point at the bottom center so you can mount them on a tripod.

Pricing and availability

The Accsoon TopRig S40 retails for $349, and the S60 version is $399. Both models should be available soon.
