92. Cinevate's Atlas 10 LTS - Video and DSLR Slider

Since introducing the extremely popular Atlas 30 and Atlas 200 LTS systems, folks have been asking for a center mount version that is just as smooth (well almost) as the Atlas 30 and 200 systems but lighter, faster to setup and less expensive. Introducing Atlas 10.

We're very proud to introduce Atlas 10, a full ball bearing linear tracking system that features the uber-cool all terrain foot system, no less than 7 tripod mount plate locations, micro-adjust non-marking feet, vertical operation and yes, even vertical counter-balanced operation. With a non-reflective, black satin anodized finish, full CNC aluminum/steel construction, and stainless steel fasteners, you can expect a lifetime of reliable operation.

    The base config comes with the pulley rope? I don't see the pulley rope in the pull down list of extras on the site.
  • clickryan plus 1 year ago
    Its found in the drop down for > Vertical Kit 35 inch Kit
    After I added up some extras, the total came to $1,246.00

    So for the $499, I guess it comes basic with the standard legs.

    Well gents, evidently we set a new record in terms of units ordered after launch. The last time I saw uptake like this was 6 years ago when posting up on dvxuser that I was making 10 Brevis lens adapters. That was what launched Cinevate! None of us expected this response.

    Evan, the counterbalance will actually ship with Spectra line (1/4 the width and a lot stronger). The reason you don't see it in the catalog is that we're still finalizing pricing for the kit. Another product still to be added is the FLT version which uses lighter rail, and fits in a suitcase. It will weigh in under 6lbs.

    Cheers,
    Dennis.

    Will, this would be a really, really good slider for a first time user :-) We've priced it at a point where even DIY types should be taking a long hard look.

    Hello Dennis

    Atlas 10 looks really promising, but I'd like to clear something up before ordering.

    Will it eventually be possible to upgrade the version actually available on your site with the counterbalance system or are there actually two different products - one without the counterbalance system and another with it?

    Thank you.
  •  
  • Cinevate pro 1 year ago
    The counterbalance system is a kit that can be added/removed to either length Atlas 10 system. It installs in about 4 minutes. We should have it up in the catalog today:-)

  • MINDSCAPE studios plus 1 year ago
    Ordered mine last night, Really excited! One question for you though, I ordered mine with the Manfrotto RC2 Ball head with quick release plate. In the future if I want to change the mount, is that possible? or is it a whole different setup from the standard mount?

    Thanks Dennis!

  • vitart 1 year ago
    On site price 350$, but rails +150! Why? What do I get for 350? Slider without legs - not slider, only parts!
  • clickryan plus 1 year ago
    In all honesty, Dennis, the $350 price is misleading b'c you have to choose one of the drop down selections for the 26' to 35' inch size.

    I see why you did it, but instead start the price off at $499, and give the upgrade option to go up to the 35' for $50 dollars.

    I am looking at this Atlas 10 and the Pocket Dolly™ BASIC V2 w/ Hercules 2.0 for $809.95 which can do vertical shots with the shipped crank handle system.
    Your Vertical add-on's will push it +1K ;(

    Can you win me over with why your product is a better solution. Trust me Dennis, I wanna by Canadian my fellow' Canuck ;)

    p.s I also have a question about the handles that screw into a Proteus plate that you used with your cyclops video..will post this to you elsewhere ;)

    p.p.s Keep up the good work Innovating on behalf of all us DSLR's #Kudos

    Michael, the ball head attaches via a 3/8" stud that projects up from the mount plate. Any tripod head with a 3/8" threaded hole (virtually all of them under $1000) can also be attached. We also have a half-ball leveler that can be attached in place of the RC2 ball head...this gives you a partial ball system for leveling a tripod head.

    If you're planning on panning/tilting with fluid movement during a slide, a Manfrotto 503 head, 701 head etc. would work well. Attache this head to the half ball leveler and you've got about 15 degrees of levelling too.

    Vitart, we don't advertise the slider at $350...it's only set up that on our web site to make the various options transparent to our accounting system. Dell does a similar thing when you build up a computer.

    Cheers,
    Dennis.

  • René 1 year ago
    Very nice!

    One question, will it be possible to attach a small motor for time-lapsing?
  •  
  • Cinevate pro 1 year ago
    René, very shortly you will see Cinevate introduce a motion control system for use on all four of our LTS products for time lapse, or just remote motion in both vertical and horizontal operation. Subsequently, expect control of up to 100 separate devices from your smartphone. Very cool stuff coming.

    Can't wait to see all this new equipment.

  • Cinevate pro 1 year ago
    Manggis, I know exactly how you feel. We work and on a daily basis play in the world's coolest sandbox. Some of the stuff coming, particularly motion control for our LTS systems, is simply exciting for us.

  • CRANK media plus 1 year ago
    Soo excited to order this! Two questions:

    1. What do the standard legs look like?
    2. Does this product ship from your Thunder Bay office?
  •  
  • Luke Grandmont 1 year ago
    Hey,
    1. Standard legs are the 4 ball feet that aren't attached to articulating legs. In the catalog photo these 'standard legs' are actually mounted on the opposite side, pointing up. The legs can micro-collimate for minor adjustments on uneven ground. Expect some clearer pictures in the catalog monday or tuesday at the latest to clarify.

    2. Yes, Atlas 10 is only available through our website and thus from our Thunder Bay location, but our resellers are really interested in the Atlas 10 and should be stocking it soon.

    Cheers

  • dennis kane 1 year ago
    Hi Dennis, really nice. I am a little confused
    1. What exactly is the counter balance, how does it look ?
    2. Will I be able to use this system as a small jib ?
    Also , will you have more photos of the various options available ?
    Thank you

  • b. baxter 1 year ago
    Dennis, what is the major difference between the Atlas 10 FLT and this LTS model, other than weight?

    I am planning to get a slider soon, and I like what I see in this video. Just want to know if I should wait or get on the preorder wait list for the LTS.

    Thanks!
  •  
  • Luke Grandmont 1 year ago
    Hey Guys,

    We'll be updating the Atlas 10 in our catalog either tomorrow or Thursday with some photos to help clarify the different options.

    As for the Jib-like movements, we've been playing around with different mounting options as well as using the atlas at various angles for movements in both X and Y axis, somewhat Jib-like. I'm actually looking forward to see what people come up with, it's a pretty versatile piece of gear!

  • Roldan Castillo plus 1 year ago
    Ordered!!! Can't wait for mine

  • Tosh Xiong 1 year ago
    Dennis, Looks like a real winner! I am confused on the pricing though. This is what I selected in the options.

    - Atlas Rail Length 35 inch (89cm)
    - No Counter Balance
    - All Terrain Legs
    - RC2 Ball Head with Quick-Release
    - No Vertical Kit

    That adds up to $450 but once I add it to the shopping cart the price doubles. Hubert emails me saying that it is not possible to buy a $450 Atlas 10 since that is the base price only. I find the $450 price misleading/marketing. Why not state the total price for a base Atlas 10 instead of luring me in with the cover charge? Am I missing something.

    The setup you are showing in the video with the terrain legs is the setup I want and you stated the price of $550 (which I'm sold on) but again in the shopping cart on your website says $897 ????

  • Eric Dennis 1 year ago
    Awesome slider. Definitely my favorite so far. But I'm confused by the pricing too. Why not include the base 26 in slider into the price and add up from there. The $450 really throws you off because that actually doesn't get you anything. Just say the base price is $600. I think this slider is worth every penny but it really discourages me from buying from Cinevate when I see the price jump so significantly in the cart when I'm not completely certain where all the money is going.

    "...we're hoping to satisfy a lot of folks by launching the system with a starting tag under $500."

    How is it possible to have the starting price tag below 500 when that doesn't get you anything?
  •  
  • Keith Slawinski 1 year ago
    Soooo bummed! I was ready to buy this this at the $350 base price, but an extra $100 now that pre-orders are done? Now I have to cut corners a bit again. Can't you hold the $350 through Festivus?
  •  
  • Cinevate pro 1 year ago
    Eric, Tosh, the intro pricing was for launch only and thus pricing is now where it needs to be. A base unit at 26" can be ordered for $599 which will prove (as preliminary reviews steam in), an amazing piece of kit at this price. Any options can be added later so any one in a tight budget can add options later as desired.

    Keith, the base price is an issue that is being addressed. It was never 350 and will never be. The convention that makes sense to our accounting system is causing a lot of confusion to our customers. We're changing it. Much like building a Dell computer starts with a base cost, so does Atlas 10...but you need to choose your length and foot options to generate a price. We're working on changing the displayed cost to instead reflect a built up unit. Apologies for the confusion.

  • Guillaume Beaudoin 1 year ago
    I agree with most people, we're not building a computer here, nowhere else in the industry you find these king of setting for prices of camera sliders... "we're hoping to satisfy a lot of folks by launching the system with a starting tag under $500": this should already be removed from your video description. The starting price is 600. I like your products but I dont think you're being fair to your costumers here.
  • Cinevate pro 1 year ago
    Snowboard show! you are correct. The starting price is not 500 as stated in the description, but instead 600. We have removed that from the description as per your suggestion. The description was originally written during our pre-order pricing sale and should have been updated when that ended. Thanks for your input.

    I am looking at buying my first slider.. getting into DSLR work big time.. as I sold my JVC HM100 a couple months ago and got my 7D.. this looks pretty good! Any other recommendations? cheaper? or if I get this, how much would a head be for it? I have a Manfrotto 504HD but I am guessing I would attach the whole slider on to my Manfrotto head/sticks and I would need to buy another head for this slider :\
  • Cinevate pro 6 months ago
    Hey Harrison,
    Our Atlas FLT system is the most affordable, starting at $579. And you are correct. The 504 is perfect for mounting the Atlas FLT on, but you will still need a solution for on top of the slider. Something small like the Manfrotto 701HDV head or even smaller like the Manfrotto RC-2 head are good solutions, and range from about $79-$140 depending on country. Hope that helps
  • Harrison Houde 6 months ago
    Awesome thank you for the tips!! I emailed you about possibly doing a sponsor thing! Still haven't received a reply. I sent it a couple days ago :)

    Great piece of gear.
    Just to get an idea, which length was used for the climbing section of this video ?
  • Cinevate pro 5 months ago
    The boys were using the Atlas 10 - 35" rail.
    We just posted a new Atlas 10/Atlas FLT video comparing all the lengths. Check out the blog post here ow.ly/6cU6E
