Description
PortaRail - Precision Grip Speed Rail
PortaRail is the original Camera Speed Rail system, first introduced in 2014. It stands out as the strongest and most precise collapsible rail on the market.
Designed for universal use, it fits any speed-rail type camera slider or dolly with an outside diameter (OD) of 1.65″ (41.9mm). This matches the OD of a standard 1-1/4″ speed rail. Made from high-grade 6061 aluminum and machined to a tolerance of .001″, the rail connects seamlessly. This design ensures smooth movement without noticeable bumps when rolling equipment over the sections.
The removable threaded connectors provide three key benefits:
- First, you can replace damaged threads to extend the rail's lifespan.
- Second, the tubes remain lightweight while maintaining strength.
- Finally, you can easily attach other adapters or connections to the tubes.
You can choose from 40″ (1 meter) or 19″ (48.26 cm) grip speed rail sections. The 6061 aluminum offers excellent rigidity, reducing flex to less than 1/8″ under a 40-pound load at 80″ in length. Each piece goes through a detailed 6-step process to ensure straightness and precision, delivering smooth camera movement.
We also offer a custom Pelican case that holds six 40″ tubes, though this does increase the overall cost. Alternatively, hard rifle cases available online work well, as long as they can accommodate up to 42″ in length.

FAQs

PortaRail uses the same OD as standard 1-1/4" speed rail / grip pipe / grid pipe. Any system that is designed for use with these kinds of pipe can be used with PortaRail
How long can I extend the rails?
You can connect as many pieces together as you like but for normal setups you would want to add support every 8-10'.

No, you will not notice the seams when you roll over them. These are very precise precision machined components.
Can the connectors be used with standard speed rail?
No
Can the end-caps be used with standard speed rail?
