Page 10: Leveling
Rhino Arc must be level before you start using it. Level your slider using your tripod. If you don’t have a ball head under Rhino Arc you’ll need to ensure that your slider is level. If you want to angle your slider you’ll need to add a ball head, fluid head, or leveling plate under Rhino Arc to keep it level. -

Page 20: Battery Life & Charging
USB Wall charger: 3-4 hours USB Computer: 48 hours For safety reasons, charging will cease after ten hours. If you’re using Rhino Arc and charging simultaneously, unplug the cable after 10 hours and plug it back in to continue charging. - Page 21 If you’re shooting for long periods, you can use an external battery pack to power Rhino Arc. We recommend a battery pack with at least a 1.5A USB output (2A max). Simply plug it into the USB port on Rhino Arc to extend the duration of your shoot.

Questions and answers
I have Rhino ARC 42inch slider and love it. My question is about creating a tracking move where the slide length is smaller than full tracking length of slider. How do I create a tracking shot with 24 inch (out of 36 inch full sliding distance} distance between In and Out positions and the Pan head tracking the object? It seems to me that only full length tracking shot is being permitted and not shorter ones.
To create a tracking shot with a 24-inch distance using the RHINO ARC EVO slider while ensuring the pan head tracks the object, follow these steps:
1. Set Up the Camera: Mount your camera on the Rhino Arc, ensuring it is securely attached.
2. Position the Camera: Point your camera at the subject in both the starting (“IN”) and ending (“OUT”) positions. This ensures the camera remains locked on the subject throughout the movement.
3. Set Up the Move: Use the “Create a Move” function in the Rhino Arc system.
4. Adjust Duration: For a 24-inch slider, set the move duration to around 15 seconds.
5. Smooth Transitions: Add a four-inch ramp to ensure smooth direction changes.
6. Enable Looping: Set Loop to “ON” if you want the camera movement to repeat automatically.
This setup is ideal for interviews or dynamic shots where maintaining focus on the subject is essential.
