Flexibility with the Leica SL3-S

The ease with which you can switch between different lenses with the SL3-S offers unmatched flexibility. From a wide-angle lens to capture sweeping views of the city, to a fast prime lens for close-ups of players’ expressions. The camera can handle it all with its L-mount System. 

This adaptability is essential when filming street soccer, where you often need to react quickly to spontaneous moments. Whether you’re capturing a slow-motion shot of a perfectly timed goal or a quick pan of a player evading a defender, the Leica SL3-S allows you to quickly adjust and continue shooting, ensuring that no moment is missed.

Capture the Moment with the SL3-S

A key feature of the SL3-S that perfectly complements street football is its In Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS). When shooting up-tempo scenes, the video remains smooth and steady. The Leica SL3-S keeps the shots fluid and controlled, enabling filmmakers to focus on storytelling rather than the camera.
