Not reality as of yet but it sounds interesting.

I'm assuming it will maintain dead accurate focus while sliding in or out.

Varavon "cranes" and new S sliders thoughts

jodydb — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 22:44:47 +0000

I have the lite, which works fine, but am interested in the crane and the longer version. They also have little wheels that attack to the bottom of the crane that made me giggle... want them too...

does anyone have any tips on how to get steady speed on sliders with out crank other then handpush.pull? I've been using rubber bands with my lite slider and gh2, rokinon 35mm and loupe gets good results most of the time

maybe a future deal on here? eh

Movement Solution on the GH2 - What's your experience?

Alexauwa — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:36:57 +0000

Hi,

I am about to get into moving camera shots such as with sliders, glidecams and tripods thus looking for a general stabilization to master all kind of situation.

I'de be happy if you'd share your experience with the gear you are using.

Not your average DIY dollie, trolly, or slider

I made this several days ago for a low budget short so I thought I'd share. It's very heavy duty, and can support a fully loaded RED ONE with ease. I used it with a fully loaded AF100 with a Hyperdeck Shuttle, rods, mattebox, FF, SmallHD, etc. It might be overkill for a GH2 tho. I accidentally tightened the two halve together too much and got flat spots in the wheels, so I'm in the process of replacing them as well as a few more little modifications. I'm not super happy with the rail design on the ends, but I needed something quick for the shoot. I'll probably update that at some point as well.

DiscoveryCam Slider or Juicedlink?

kupchenpo — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:10:07 +0000

Has anyone tried out this discoverycam slider? Very tempted, it looks great, I would love to use my 75mm bowl mount head on a slider, but at the price, I could buy a different dedicated head and a juicedlink kit. Thoughts?

Nvidia SLI Configuration for Video editting

Tommyboy — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:04:09 +0000

I would like to ask a question if anyone has good or bad results running any Linear Video Editing program using at least two video cards in SLI mode.
I'm interested in running two GeForce GTX 580 cards.To be honest with you I don't know if there are any advantages for video editing running in SLI mode or this is just strictly for heavy gamers. I would love to save myself money and time researching hence this question here. Please share your thoughts.

CineSkates Camera Sliders

Looks nice but not cheap.. wonder how long it takes to have Chinese version :D

Xeno slider . . . something new on the 'bay.

B3Guy — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:35:52 +0000

So I was on Ebay today, just browsing, when I came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/XENO-Camera-Slider-36-5D-Mark-2-7D-DSLR-Event-and-DP-s-/300586643973?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fc5c3205#ht_506wt_1272

Thoughts, opinions?

to me it looks pretty well thought-through, unlike many "new" designs that are rally just knockoffs. It does look a little small, but then it also looks prety solid. Bearings are a plus, Aircraft grade is a plus, Made In USA (for me . . . I'm USA) is a plus.

What do you think? It looks like this is the first produced unit. Perhaps someone should snag this and then maybe a group buy if it is good? I'm certainly thinking about it . . .

Interesting stuff: RigWheels

Vitaliy_Kiselev — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 13:52:50 +0000

Love such small and slick things :-)

RigWheels Portable Dolly / Slider Wheels are a simple and sleek way to add motion to your images utilizing the support equipment that you may already own. Because RigWheels can mount directly to your camera rig or other support platform with one bolt, they are the easiest and most portable way for you to add smooth camera movement to your arsenal. RigWheels along with any nearby piece of pipe, glass, plexiglass, laminate, track or other smooth surface can give you the same seamless smooth motion.

Sliders

Black_Ste — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 06:42:27 +0000

Hi I need a slider that do not weigh a ton and can be fun to have around for personal videos. This not pro work. It should be able to mount on to a tripod head. Other than that I do not know whether one with bearing or other types are desirable. Among what Vitaliy recommended in another post, I am eying the following. I am unable to see any reviews for them..so I do not know.

1. http://cgi.ebay.com/SmALLism-SCS-Camera-slider-1M-dolly-track-DSLR-HDV-/140562830295?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ba3293d7

Other than this I get a lot of recommendation for

2. Konova Slider

3. Zaza Slider (Igus).

Then there is the Philip Bloom one, but do not know if that one is good value..

How does these compare? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Cheap Slider

stoney — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 01:32:33 +0000

I have Weifeng 717A tripod & fluid head. I'm thinking about Indi Slider Mini. Only $99. But it seems hassle to set up. Having the fluid head on top on the slider. Is there any other easy cheap option?
