We are getting a lot of questions on what accessories to get to do vertical slides. Here are some suggestions. Please note that these are suggestions only and we DO NOT guarantee that it will work for your specific setup.
These are what we used in the demos with the Canon 5D and Sony EX1
Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter with Mounting Plate (501PL)
With wider body cameras or cameras with side flip out viewfinder, you may want to try a taller ball head so that the camera will clear the carriage guide when doing vertical slides.

Manfrotto 498 Compact Ball Head
Manfrotto 503HDV Professional Video Fluid Head
Great post! This is super helpful since I just took ownership of the Vertical Slider!
