ProSup Tango Roller 100 (PS350)

The idea of the Tango Roller

When ProSup came out with the Tango, there were already a lot of sliders around. However, none of those convinced them, as ProSup did not consider them  to be the ideal tool for a cameraman shooting News, Documentaries, Commercials or other non-movie stuff.

On the other hand the sliders for Cinematography were just too bulky and unhandy while those smaller sliders often used their own camera heads. That was a shame as often cameramen had already invested in brilliant 75 or 100mm fluid heads and were eager to use these on their new slider.

It was clear to ProSup that a 100mm bowl had to be the heart of their slider. Also, this slider should run on rubber rolls (like a Dolly) rather than on ball bearings like most others do.  The latter is always a little noisy and feels a bit rough while ProSup's own development of the Tango rolls provided a silent and smooth gliding for the chariot which they call "the Tango Roller".
