The Syrp Magic Carpet is a versatile and portable camera slider designed for professional filmmakers and photographers. It allows for smooth and stable tracking shots, adding a dynamic element to any video or photo. **The main idea** behind the Syrp Magic Carpet is its ability to bring creativity and production value to a wide range of projects. With its sleek and lightweight design, it is easy to transport and set up in various locations. The Magic Carpet comes in different lengths, offering flexibility depending on the desired shot. Whether it is a short movement to capture a specific detail or a long tracking shot to create a sense of environment, this slider can accommodate various creative visions.
At first glance they look completely compatible as is. It seems to me that the incantations are a bit less forgiving on the number of missed saves but at the same time they seem to be more powerful.
I actually have Deep Magic but I had completely skipped over that chapter because it contained Words of Power and that just didn t interest me at all. There are a pile of them in various Kobold Press products, particularly Deep Magic, although you can also find quite a few in Zombie Sky Press Incantations in Theory and Practice.
Whether it is a short movement to capture a specific detail or a long tracking shot to create a sense of environment, this slider can accommodate various creative visions. One of the standout features of the Syrp Magic Carpet is its integrated carriage brake. This allows users to lock the carriage in place, ensuring stability and precision when needed.
Occult Rituals
Other than those found in Occult Adventures are there any other sources of Occult Rituals? I would prefer print books but I may be open to some PDFs as well.

Both of those books are going to have slightly different formats for incantations, but they're close enough, and they'll have different base DCs for different schools of magic (which I personally prefer).
You can also find a pile of them in the 3.5 srd, as they're originally from that edition's Unearthed Arcana.
if you're looking for something in particular, I can probably focus you in on a specific product. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I've written more incantations than just about anyone else in Pathfinder. (it may not be correct in another year, but for now, I'm pretty sure)
There are some in Distant Shores, Occult Origins, and Horror Adventures for sure.
Necromancers of the Northwest came out with "Rituals of Blood" a few days ago; it's got some interesting blood-themed rituals in it.
Yup, Necromancer's of the Northwest have a few others too, and Paranormal Adventures under the Everyman Gaming label added a bunch (probably my favs of any)! In addition to what others have mentioned, the Spheres of Power core book and its expansions have been adding incantations for use under its magic system that could easily be repurposed as occult rituals. Hope that helps!

Wow! I actually have Deep Magic but I had completely skipped over that chapter because it contained Words of Power and that just didn't interest me at all.
I am aware of Incantations in Theory and Practice but didn't realize it was compatible with Occult Rituals.

I'm not sure I ever even looked at Unearthed Arcana back in the day. I'm sure I don't have it but I believe I have friends I can borrow it from.

Reviews for "Tips for using the Syrp Magic Carpet to capture dynamic shots"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Syrp magic carpet. The build quality was subpar and it felt flimsy. The track was not smooth at all and it created a lot of jerky movements in my videos. I also had issues with the carriage not staying in place, which was really frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. Mike - 1 star - The Syrp magic carpet was a complete letdown for me. The track itself was not straight, which resulted in uneven movements and ruined my shots. The carriage also had a lot of play, making it impossible to get a stable shot. I tried reaching out to customer support, but they were not helpful at all. Save your money and invest in a better slider.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was excited to try out the Syrp magic carpet, but it did not live up to my expectations. The track had a rough surface that caused friction, making it difficult to get smooth sliding shots. The carriage also had a tendency to get stuck, which ruined the flow of my videos. I found it frustrating to work with and ended up returning it.
4. Chris - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Syrp magic carpet, but it fell short in many aspects. The track was not as long as I expected, limiting my creative options. The carriage did not feel very sturdy and I was constantly worried that it would break. Additionally, the price point seemed a bit too high for the quality I received. I would not recommend this product to others.
