Edelkrone SliderONE v2 | Edelkrone SMOOTH or NOT? 

Yes, the firmware updates do a LOT! Ever since I bought the Rhino Rov Pro there has not been even 1 update, that thing just sits in my cupboard and gathers dust! Whilst Edelkrone rolls in the updates all the time, that is something I love them for, they are always on top of their game making things better for us! These guys are amazing for time-lapses, I love that too!

Thanks!

You're welcome! Thanks for dropping by 🔥

Nick Candreva I’m glad I could help in some way 🔥

@@PhillipSkraba - Im being really honest here, its hard to find non-promoted videos for Edelkrone products. Im mostly interested in HeadOne but this made me think the jitter issues are possibly oveblown. Maybe do a video on that if you have one?

@@bobbleczar That is true, most of the videos I watched were all promoted. So I thought I'd go out there and say it how it really is. Watching most of the promoted JibONE shots I thought twice about buying it as it looked really jittery. In reference to the HeadONE, it's excellent, as long as you're using it in a horizontal position. Vertical will give you a headache I'm afraid, of course depending on what lens you use.

@@PhillipSkraba That stinks. I liked the barrel roll style shots for timelapse i'd seen but again those were all promotional. Honestly Ive almost never done timelapse (even on a tripod) without some stabilization, so maybe its just an unrealistic expectation of edelkrone to have absolutely zero jitter.

@@bobbleczar I think it might be unrealistic. I've used the Rhinos too, they have the same problem, if not more. I really like Edelkrone, and if I have to drop a touch of stabilization to get a perfect end result, it's not the end of the world.

Well, that's really odd. I've used a few of these v2 base models and v2 PRO models and they are all smooth, the HeadPLUS is super smooth, and I've used about 4 different ones. Of course if I use a really long lens, and it's tipping the balance of the HeadONE it might get some tiny jitters when it starts and stops, but nothing I can't smooth out perfectly in post. I use 100% a lot of the time, and I have no problems. It all really depends on your setup, where you've set it up, your speed and your ramp. If you've set it up on a cheap plastic tripod then it's going to shake like crazy, if you've set it up on a wooden floor that helps vibrations travel through the tripod, it will shake, if you have a super heavy 24-70GM lens on there, it will probably have some jitters. So make sure you keep that in mind. I'm not sponsored by them and I don't have anything from promoting them, and I also own Rhino sliders, so I'm being honest here. IF those tips don't work for you, if you're on a sturdy Manfrotto tripod, if you're on a cement floor, if you have a smaller lens, then this system should be smooth as balls. If it's not, write to them, ask them if you can send it in so they can check it out and maybe tighten a screw or swap a belt out or something. Rhino. Well, they have beautifully made sliders just like Edelkrone, they also have jitters, but if I had to put my trust in one of these companies it would be Edelkrone hands down. Choosing Rhino over Edelkrone really is a "grass is greener on the other side" type of deal, add yourself to their Facebook group page and you'll see. It's just problem after problem. So I say stick with Edelkrone, ask them to take a look at your slider and head, and remember Edelkrone is modular, you can keep on building it like Lego, I've done this and have a ton of their products I'm super impressed with.

Oh yes, as long as you use foreground in your shots you'll get a ton of movement, if not you won't even see it's moving, but that goes for most sliders. If you check out this film I shot a lot of the moving shots with the SliderONE v2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yhzqm3J4x8o.html As you can see, with lots of foreground you can get some really nice motion in your shots. Hope that helps.

FRED'S TECH HUB That’s a high-five for you! ✋🏻

@@PhillipSkraba Video still not available in HD quality yet, so painful to watch at 360p

FRED'S TECH HUB o gosh! I can imagine 🙈 I’d wait, that’s more pain than anyone should endure!

No problem! I think it's so delicate that no one would really notice it, unless they are actively searching for it. Adding some light stabilisation in post would get rid of that no problem. The v2 PRO is the winner for me when it comes to performance. I've tried a lot of other sliders, and I've got to tell you, these micro jitters are pretty normal, especially at these kind of speeds. I usually throw all my slider/gimbal footage in to the stabiliser just to give it that extra little bit more butter. I can also blame the head I'm using a little, as it is from Neewer and it doesn't screw on firmly, I'll pick up the FlexTILT v2 soon and hopefully that will help iron out the rest of the jitters. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You! Yes, some people complain, but I have used quite a few others sliders where people complain too I'm afraid. Most of the time it is user error - too long a lens, unbalanced head, no flat base, wooden flooring, too much speed with no ramp on macro shots. So many things go into it. I would recommend the V2 Pro, that's what I use the most, and it's super smooth because it pulls and pushes at the same time. I use the Sony A7 series on it. 99% of any jitters that ever happen on a slider can be sorted out in post though, so don't worry about that if it happens.

@@PhillipSkraba ah thanks for your VM quick reply, Yes true any jitter can be smoothened out later , I contacted edelkrone and they said the same thing. They said the slider one v2,should be smooth and is cheaper I guess .. But I’ve also seen a video we’re someone said he was told by edelkrone to get the pro version. So last question, sorry to be a pain So u so think the pro version is much smoother Regardless of the camera gear : because it has 2 motors ? And the v2 has just 1 motor and might struggle even if load is just 2 kg, Basically in a senario whereby u using a 2 kg kit . On either of them in comparison, Will the smoothness be the same ? Am just trying to see if it’s because of load or the pro version performance justifies me getting it even if am going to use a lower weight camera gear on it

@@jeffvodas3 I've used both versions a lot, and I don't have the standard V2 version anymore, I now only own the V2 Pro which I bought after using the standard V2. I find the fact that it pulls and pushes at the same time a much smoother operation, especially when you put a HeadONE on it for example. The V2 either pushes or pulls, so straight away it's a completely different kettle of fish. I'm very happy with the V2 Pro and would highly recommend it to anyone. The HeadONE is also great, but both need to be balanced well on a tripod and they do struggle with 24-70GM for example, which is a heavy lens and quite long, but once again, nothing that can't be smoothed out. What I recommend you do is wait till Black Friday, they always have pretty good sales then, and you'll probably pick it up for the price of the V2 standard. Just a thought.

@@PhillipSkraba wow u are awesome, thanks a million, I will definitely buy it ( the pro version on Black Friday ) Witt the head one and tilt kit and the turntable in 1 go. Yes the pro is the way forward No point getting the v2 model then in future realize it’s not enough Also the pro is faster in motion than the v2

@@jeffvodas3 That's a good plan! That's what I did, plus I had a 200 euro voucher as I took a photo of my Edelkrone slider, uploaded it to Instagram and won the daily Instagram prize *wink wink, so I basically bought it for bananas. Add that to the Black Friday deals and you'll buy that package for an incredible price! The turntable is great to have and the tilt kit is very useful too, but you really need to make sure you balance that well! Any questions just drop them here and I'll get back to you. I think I've bought up the whole Edelkrone store so I can help on most subjects!

Thank You! I'm happy it helped, I'll make sure to keep pushing these out. I'm from London, but I live in Poland most of the time, Hi 🔥

Sure! When you set your points, your speed and your ramp it'll tell you how much time is needed to make the move.

@@PhillipSkraba what is the slowest it can move? Not in time lapse mode, in video mode?

Ridiculously slow, and I mean ridiculously.

@@PhillipSkraba thanks 👍🏽

Anytime! It’s a fantastic slider I use till this day, and have invested a lot of money in Edelkrone and am generally very happy. They are excellent for macro work, very slow, incredibly precise.

Hi Jose! Well, I have to be honest, I still have to try a slider that has zero jitter problems. It's usually down to user error though more than the gear. I'm very happy with my Edelkrone gear, I own the JibONE, SliderONE v2 PRO and SliderPLUS PRO Long. If I set them up wrongly, if I use too long a lens, they might have tiny jitters, but if I set them up like a pro, they are smooth as butter. The SliderPLUS is very smooth, as is the SliderONE. If you want to go with the SliderONE go with the v2, the dual motors help with any jitters as they push and pull, not just pull or push. The HeadONE usually helps with jitters if you're using a big heavy lens, so the HeadPLUS is needed if you have really heavy gear, I use both and like I said, if set up correctly, they are smooth as butter. However, if there is jitter, 99.9% of the time I can fix it in post with no problems at all. I hope that helps, any other questions, just ask, I'm happy to help.

Phillip Skraba thank you Phil, really appreciate your answer, that's what I thought, user error. Do you find the speed of the sliderone fast enough for most situations? I use Nikon mirror less, can I get away with the 2 headone units?

Yes, I find it’s more than fast enough, plus if you need it to be slow for macro, there is no slower slider out there, it literally almost doesn’t move, incredible stuff. Two heads and the tilt kit are cool, I have that too and use it on my Sony. As long as it’s balanced it’ll do a great job. Any problems you encounter, Edelkrone will help like a pro, they are amazing at customer service 🔥

You're welcome, happy to help 🔥

sanlega Thank You! So many people were asking me if I get Edelkrone jitters, and sure, sometimes depending on the situation, but if set up correctly, and not stressing out the motors or setup, it works fine, add a bit of warp stabilizer and it’s smooth as butter. Thanks for stopping by 🔥

Yep, that's how Rhino does it, with a nice bump at the end just for fun!

FSB Yes, I notice it every now and then, very slight and it’s really easy to correct in post. A flat base helps too! Do you have the HeadONE?

Phillip Skraba Phillip Skraba I have two headones, sliderplus, slider v2, tilt kit 2, standone, some rotating plate

FSB oh that’s great! So tell me, does the tilt it help with the HeadONE struggling with the larger lenses?

Phillip Skraba yes especially the the second version

FSB Great! I’ll pick that up in that case 🔥

It's a great slider, and the fastest of them all, but I wouldn't say it's the best. The app lacks options to create poses and stop it half way for example. The start and stop of the Rhino is also very harsh, compared to the Edelkrone where you almost don't even notice the start or stop. The Edelkrone is also amazing when it comes to macro as it has programmable stops and can slide very slowly. What do you like about the Rhino Rov Pro that makes you feel it's the best?

@@PhillipSkraba Just got the slider one Plus V2 and head one dual head and is really bad. Tons of jittering, not sure why. Their customer service keep directing me to check their videos but so far I can't fix it. have you tested the Slider V2 and the dual head one together?
