@BerlsMcSquirrels 3 года назад

Did you ever use the Ifootage slider with the X2 head? I loved everything about it except for the amount of noise it produced, making it unusable during interviews. I made a video about it and posted in the reviews on Amazon, about a week later Ifootage stopped selling that unit. This makes me a bit suspicious of the Ifootage brand. Here's the video: www.amazon.com/review/R2SPXG9LXBV5A8/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8 I'm using the Rhino Arc 2 now and love it, but it's way too expensive for what it is. Also, you can only set 2 slide points with the focus unit and the high torque motor is painfully slow...so there's issues. Why can't any of these companies make a quality slider that's quiet, has a strong motor, good user interface and is sub 1k?

Trying to find the best solution for my sony / 90mm macro, thanks for testing out that combination! It seems like all motorized sliders have some quirks with macro shots - but the price and ease of use seem like a great middle ground.

@billyoung9538 3 года назад

An interesting alternative to the Zeapon Micro 2 series of sliders. While I like the user interface and motion control aspect of this, the modular expand-ability of the Zeapon sliders makes entry into their platform initially a little easier on the pocket, and their easy lock base allows their equivalent slider to run the full length without the need for a tripod. With that said the Zeapon sliders, currently, don't have any pan axis motion control system designed specifically them (currently), and adding one would likely push their over all cost above the cost of this; however, the motorized Zeapon sliders have almost twice the vertical payload capacity, so it's possible they could add a motion control head to it and offer something with nearly the same over all functionality. It's good to see multiple decent budget slider options showing up at this price point.

@EvanWasHere 3 года назад

So at 15:30 for the Testing Long Lenses shot, you balanced the camera and THEN extended the zoom, which would then unbalance the camera. This could cause those small vibration issue.

@Miguel_Molina 3 года назад

this isn't a gimbal. that would be negligible on this setup. The resulting vibrations you see would have happened regardless

@mudslingerart2172 3 года назад

A couple of things: When tilting down, especially with heavier lens, you should push the camera even further back on the head, to minimize the front-heaviness. With the vertical L-bracket setup, same principle...try to get the camera balanced in every axis, to give the motor a fighting chance to tilt the camera without having to work so hard.

@CalgaryCalamari 3 года назад

Nice piece again! One thought: For the vertical mounting use case I'd think you could increase the weight of the load by attaching a counterweight to the reverse travel platter as long as the pulleys and belt can handle the overall weight...

@GeraldBertramPhotography 3 года назад

Looks great! Having the pan movement is HUGE. Maybe Zeapon will now finally add that to their slider since it's been in the app since day one but if they don't than I'm really going to want this one from iFootage.

@reginaldworthington7558 3 года назад

Yeah, pretty cool little slider for the price point Gerald. Had a thought for the vertical stuff - bit of rigging required but if you could sling a counterbalance up over the back of it and add weight to that as needed (depending on camera and lens weight) I wonder if that little assist would give you a smooth pedestal up movement?

@ThatQuizShow 3 года назад

This looks like a great slider option for adding a second camera angle in a solo video production environment! The $300 GVM slider that i've been eyeing always seemed functional but janky, and I'm hesitant to spend $2k for a Rhino slider when I don't need three axis movements. This might be the perfect option for me in 2021.

@geek-elite 2 года назад

I know this is an old video, but I'm wondering: Do you still think the Shark Slider Nano is a compelling deal in 2022 after a couple of pretty big price increases? The non-bundled version isn't even an option anymore, and the current price on the bundle is $779 (up from the $599 you quoted here). Is that still worth it? Are there competitors that might be compelling now that the price of the Shark Nano is so much higher?

@itsmnaveedsheikh Год назад

@SteveMillerhuntingforfood 3 года назад

That was an excellent review and demo of this product. At $600 I'm very close and will buy it. My use will be wide, shooting astro/night sky time lapse. I need to weigh my A7S with the 24mmGM, but I'm sure it's well under the 2Kg weight.

@BugBobsWildWorld 3 года назад

Nicely done, Gerald. Well-timed; I'm looking at a slider for my macro and small-product work w/o breaking the bank. BTW they do offer an L bracket for vertical use.

@TheArizonaHooligan 3 года назад

Another fantastic video; thank you, Gerald, for your continuing efforts to bring quality content to the RU-vid platform. That being said, how would you say this compares to the Rhino Arc series of sliders? I know it's difficult in some regards due to the price points, options, etc., that Rhino Arc offers. However, they do offer some entry-level sliders as well. All and all, this looks like a great piece of gear with a quality build that would prove useful for many people. Again, thank you for all that you do and for what I learn from you... Cheers.

@geraldundone 3 года назад

Fair question. Unfortunately, my only experience with Rhino is with the larger Arc II system, which is excellent, but more expensive with more axes of movement. Thus more difficult to compare as you mentioned.

@TomRyanElliott 3 года назад

Love your videos, Gerald. I'm curious, what's the minimum time interval you can set a motion for? In other words, could you set up a parallax shot for a 0.5-second motion and shoot it in 120 fps? Also, in the final slider shot of you setting up a rig at your desk what are the tiny legs you have mounted to your rails? I need those! Keep up the great work!

@omarknowsphotos 3 года назад

Yet another great video. Would you say that the microjitters on this are more pronounced than the Rhino Traveler? I'll mostly be using these with a probe lens. The little Edelkrone unit I use now is really smooth, but not long enough. The idea of not needing an app and seeing how it can pan makes this super appealing.

Nice vid! One question: Do you have some "flexing" on the slider? Because I'm recording a show in a room and it has a lot of straight lines. The camera being heavy and my tripod not strong enough, it "flexes" and the lines are not straight anymore when the camera hits the edges. What tripod do you have? :D

How can I ensure that it stays tight? Is there a way to lock the LOCK button? Thanks!

@gillesmatheronpro 3 года назад

As mentionned in some comments, using a counterweight on the opposite side to the camera (attached via a simple cord) should greatly help. If not solve.
