The Cinevate Duzi has always had a reputation for being stupidly strong despite its small size and minimal profile. However, older versions of the slider also came with some minor annoyances -- like a strangely placed carriage brake. In the newest version, Cinevate has addressed those issues.


Here are the new features of the Duzi 3:

  • Upgraded lock secures the camera anywhere on the rails
  • Now available in two lengths: 24 and 32 inches
  • Compatible with timelapse add-on
  • Load capacity of 120 lbs
  • Integrated bubble level
  • Price: $420 for 24" and $470 for 32"

Though they're squarely in the middle of the market in terms of price -- they're neither the cheapest or most expensive -- the Duzi sliders are built to take a major beating day after day and still operate as smooth as butter, and by all accounts, they accomplish just that. This alone makes them a great tool for filmmakers who are constantly traveling and on the run, and whose relationship with their gear is perhaps less than loving at times.
