Syrp Time Lapse System: Hands-On Review
Shoot super-smooth video and time-lapse with the 3.9' Magic Carpet Kit from Syrp. Featuring a 2' short slider track, a 2' extension track, a Magic Carpet carriage, and end caps, this lightweight and portable kit makes it easy to travel with a slider and capture cinematic shots in remote locations. The Magic Carpet Kit is simple to set up. When you're ready to move on, it quickly breaks down into a compact bundle, giving you more room to pack your camera gear.
Syrp Magic Carpet Carbon Fiber Short Slider Track (2')
The 2' Magic Carpet Carbon Fiber Short Track from Syrp provides a lightweight yet stable sliding surface for the Magic Carpet slider system. It supports loads up to 11 lb and is compatible with the original Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps (not included). Use this short track as the base of your Magic Carpet slider.
Syrp Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps
The Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps from Syrp are designed for use with either the Magic Carpet 2.6' Short Track or 5.2' Long Track. The Carriage easily slides into the end of the track and includes a brake, a bubble level, and a reversible 3/8"16 and 1/4"-20 threaded screw to attach either a camera, ballhead, or tripod head.
The two End Caps slot into the end of the tracks and have adjustable quick release legs which are easily adjusted by pulling out a lever, without the need for additional tools. The End Caps also include Genie rope lock-off hooks which enable the Syrp Genie Motion Control Time Lapse Device to be easily attached and locked off. Additionally, the end caps have a counter balance wheel which allows for vertical slides with heavier cameras. The Genie rope is simply tied off around the carriage and then thread through the counter balance wheel. A weight is used to offset the camera weight.

Syrp Magic Carpet Camera Slider Reviews
Excellent w/ an Asterisk

This is really well made and designed, but in I found it a little flex-y and fidgety for my use. I wish I'd gotten the 36 aluminum version instead. I ordered this with an 24 extension. Keeping all the parts together and located is pushing the boundaries of my organizational skills. I would much prefer having a one piece thing that can be pulled out and attached to tripods at once. It's not too bad, but more that I'd like to deal with. And once assembled, the thing is kinda flexible and really requires good lateral, adjustable support at both ends. I used a single series 3 gitzo at one end and a monopod at the other. Not a bad set-up, but you have to be pretty careful not to introduce warp into the rail. In future, I'll use two tripods, though I'll need a center column at the second one--which I don't have yet. Having said all that, if you need light weight and portability, this is a beautiful piece of equipment.
