Sliders

I hear people rave about the konova video sliders. My friend has one and its pretty smooth and cheap.

What would be the best not depending on a budget?

Ive seen those amazon ones and the cinevates..

Whats good M&A?
 
With price being no object, cinevate makes some nice sliders. But if price were no object I'd get a dolly track instead
 
The ones where you stick your tripod on some wheels and put those wheels on a linear track. Makes it so you can move forward/backwards without seeing the end of a slider
 
That's odd. I've never had the issue. Maybe it's because of framing? Or the lens you use? I shot all mine with a 35 and a 50 and never saw the slider 42" with a flat perspective.
 
GET A BEARING SLIDER AND NOT A DRY-LINE SLIDER.

bearing sliders use bearings, and not friction, so they move smoothly regardless of weight. Dry-line sliders are friction based and with a heavy setup will not flow smoothly.
 
For someone who has a tight budget what is a good affordable slider. I am using a Panasonic HMC40 and a Manfrotto 128RC Tripod Setup...
 
budget: $250-$325what can i get?, those juiced ink ones are gay, and right meow kanova seems the most legitness
 
You're probably right. It would also be easier to not carry a slider up at all.

I don't mind carrying heavy shit. It sucks at first, but it whips you into shape. If heavier gear makes me break a sweat, I consider that a good thing. Plus heavier gear tends to be more stable (sliders, tripods, etc.)
