Wit Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Imagine you and your friend are shooting a lot of run an gun things. But also short documentaries and event registration. Being a one man band wanting to add the slider effect into the toolkit. A lot on the road. - What is a good length with which you're still flexible to go and get things quickly installed? - What are the specs to look for and the things to consider - next to snood, quick install etc? - We're thinking of making it ourselves - our is there an awesome good and cheap one out there which fit our needs? Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I was thinking all the same, and I'm kinda leaning towards the Konova K2 80cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiodc Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Some friends shoot with the Edelkrone SliderPlus and love it. I like the fact that you get 2x the travel and it's a pretty useful dolly too, seriously considering getting one for my own work - which has a similar style of shooting it sounds like. They are not cheap, but for the convenience, weight, and multiple uses they may well be worth a place in your kit. I also have been personally considering the Varavon sliders, which are lightweight, have a motor option or a very simple counterweight -- uses a water bottle(!) so you don't need to carry the weight all the time. Very clever and expandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
