Hey there.
I have a T-Slide X-72 slide and glide available for sale. It is made by T-Jib from Atlanta.
http://www.t-jib.com/products2.asp

First off, this thing is awesome. It is 72" long, and allows for 66" of sliding mobility. Seriously the longest slider Ive ever seen. I had a Feature DP, using a different slider with a RED on a production, ask his producer for rental rate on mine after he got to use it for two shots. Forget "portable dolly" this is a dolly in itself. Its super smooth. Runs on friction as opposed to ball bearings, so the only cleaning required is keeping the rails clean. (a terry cloth will do, for wipe downs in humidity).

I am selling this particular unit as the X-72 (paid $1000) and a hardcase (made for construction levelers) that cost about $120.00.
I will also include a 3/4" open ended screw for the base to use your tripod head tie down to lock in the unit to your tripod.


Some basic requirements and info:
the base is a 100mm ball mount for a bowl; you need a 100 bowl tripod to set this on. You will also need a coupler (flat base to bowl mount) such as the manfrotto 325N http://www.manfrotto.com/product/8709.56.1863.0.0/325N/_/Bowl_Adapter
and you can use this to connect a 100mm or 75mm head.
I am willing to sell my 325N adapter as well.
items you will need to make this work:
- a 100mm bowl set of sticks.
- some sort of flat base - bowl adapter for your tripod head.
- The included open ended 3/4" screw.
- a tripod head, 100mm (or 75mm tripod head and a 75-100mm step up ring)

Items to make it work to the best of its ability:
-two monopods, or two light stands for the ends to relieve pressure at the ends
-one terry cloth for quick wipe downs in any humidity
-a quality tripod head, with a bubble level (this makes everything better, and you will notice the difference even more on this unit as you perform moves and have quality control of your camera movement with a good head).


This thing can be put together in about 1 minute with no tools; it is great for corporate interview, for indie film, or for high production value goodies.
It works with cameras up to 50lbs (ive put a RED with a 7lb lens on it). The cameras I use more commonly on it are HPX170 with lens adapters, HPX3000, and DSLRs.

I have had the unit for a little over 2 years. It is a workhorse for me. I absolutely love it. It has a few cosmetic scratches in it, but still works 100% the way it did from day one.
I am selling it because I do not use it as much as I use to as I have adapted my jib to be able to perform similar enough shots (casters and rails) that I can keep my camera on one unit all day, and have no need for it.

I would prefer a pickup Sale:
I am based in Atlanta, Georgia, but am traveling with all my equipment to San Francisco on November 15 for a shoot, and then down to Los Angeles for another on November 23.
Since I am flying to California with the gear, I would prefer not to fly back with it;
I would like to sell this in San Francisco by November 20/21. Or in Los Angeles Friday the 25, or Sunday the 27.
Please email; I dont check PMs on here often. cupsandpills@gmail.com.

Pictures available on request.
Am accepting offers. Asking $650 for unit and case,
will sell with 2 Manfrotto Monopods and 325N for $750.

All gear is in great condition. Used often, well taken care of by my small but professional production house.
