Libec SS-5 2-Piece Monopod Set for Slider Support

The dynamic hardware kit you are referencing is the Libec SS-5 Monopod Set.

Specifically engineered to streamline high-end tracking setups, this 2-piece package acts as an stabilizing framework for the Libec ALX S slider series (including the S4, S8, and S12 rails) as well as the TH-Z slider kits.

Rather than forcing camera crews to pack, transport, and calibrate two separate, bulky tripods at opposite ends of a long slider rail, the SS-5 set allows you to mount your slider directly onto one central tripod, using these ultra-portable stabilizers to completely eliminate rail droop or bowing on the ends.

1. Anti-Deflection Stability System

When a heavy camera package travels toward the far edge of a slider rail, gravity creates a leverage effect that forces the rail to tilt or sag.

• The Dual-Anchor Method: By screwing one of these compact monopods directly into the 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes on the left and right underside of your Libec rail, the slider turns into a rigid truss bridge.

• Seamless Ground Distribution: The central tripod supports the dead weight of the system, while the SS-5 units absorb downward force as the camera moves past the center line. This layout gives you rock-solid tracking shots without the need for a secondary full-size tripod.

2. Tilt-Adjustable Mounting Platforms

Because filming environments are rarely perfectly flat, Libec integrated an adjustable hinge assembly right at the top of each monopod:

• Angled Alignment: A dedicated locking knob near the top platform allows you to tilt the mounting head independently of the leg angle.

• Tension Compensation: This helps you find the sweet spot and secure a perpendicular brace against the slider rail, even when the monopod feet are resting on uneven dirt paths, slopes, or steps.

3. Compact 4-Stage Travel Configuration

The physical architecture is optimized for fast run-and-gun crews who need to minimize pack weight:

• High-Stage Telescoping: Each leg splits into a 4-stage / 5-section telescoping column managed by rapid, high-torque plastic flip-locks.

• Extreme Adjustability: The legs collapse down to an ultra-compact 42.9 cm (16.7") to easily fit inside standard camera bags, yet extend all the way up to 139.0 cm (54.7") to accommodate standard chest-level tripod elevations.
