The bigger the camera the less stable. I would be thinking two tripods. Or at least one and a light stands.

Re: SLIDER HELP .. No experience
If I was going to have a travel of over 24" I would consider two which the Dana Dolly utilizes ....
I am only looking at getting maybe a 6" inch slide shot, I shoot very tight quarters, one person crew I feel two pods / stands will be overkill, bulky, and cost too much time on location ..... |

Re: SLIDER HELP .. No experience
I mainly use Sony hxr-nx3, I am in a video club and one of the other members has the Duzi slider as well he uses a Canon 5D on it. There are many good reviews out there, look on you tube. As mentioned earlier the slider is very smooth and handles cameras up to 75lbs suits me perfectly. The slider is on special at the moment at B & H for $399
