Italian manufacturer shootools recently launched a new series of professional sliders which include a new an innovative magnetic field technology that promises that you will never hit your carriage at the beginning and at the end of your tracking.
The unique looking Camera Slider PRO series has no less than 8 steel high precision bearings, the slider has the ability to control the friction of the slider’s movement, and the entire slider weight only 2KG while it can carry gear up to 50kg. Externally one of the most striking features of the new series are the wooden side panels which makes this slider really stand out.
The Camera Slider PRO comes in 4 different sizes ranging from 60 to 150 cm and is priced between 650-930 Euros (more on the Shootools website).

Update: We just received a little bit of info on the magnetic mechanism from Shootools:
According to the company: when sliding the carriage and reaching the end of the rail, instead of bump suddenly against the end-stop there is a magnetic field system that slows down the “run” of the carriage close to the end-stop. This system avoids the final impact between the carriage and the end-stop, reduces the speed and allows as well the generation of new bouncing effects. The bouncing effect can be used to realize extremely original and new effects, that change every-time, depending as well on speed, acceleration and kind of shooting.
