Great Video! NEEWER now offers a larger slider at 47.2”/120cm. Thinking of buying one for a room tour. This video explained everything I needed to know. Thanks
Awesome video Tobi! Really enjoyed it! Very nicely executed (fantastic production skills, awesome effects - especially the one where you get the case of the slider off the table and next thing I see the slider altogether with its parts/accessories is there on the table) and also the topic (being the slider) is extremely interesting for me. This slider looks pretty good to me, and I am impressed that you were also able to use it in a vertical mode. The thing is that I also have a motorised slider - mine is from GVM - it has similar characteristics as this Neewer slider (but mine is 80cm, came already assembled and the remote on my slider is not a wireless remote, but bound by cable 😅) - I had some difficulties when using mine in vertical mode though. But now that I see how you used yours, I have to try this with mine too. Very well made video and nicely presented slider. Thank your for once again a great content!
Thank you so much for your detailed and nice comment! Such feedback always makes me very happy. The GVM sliders are veeeery similar to this model, so I would image that the same workflow could work.
I recently bought the Neewer 120 cm Er1 slider. It is the motorized bluetooth, with additional remote. Build quality is very decent for the price. So far no complaints.
Hey, I'm considering buying this slider for a shoot I'm about to have... I need a motorized slider that will have reliable repeatable movement because I need to shoot several versions of a shot with green screen that need to match perfectly when layered in post. Do you think the ER1 is good enough to do that?
Most of my video is done using either an iPhone or OM1 camera. I have also used it with a larger Sony XDcamera. I have found it was not smooth with a telephoto lens close to subject. Using a 50mm lens or wider at about 4' works well. I now use the slider mainly for interviews, use a 100mm lens about 6-8 ' from subject and works well. The end action as it switches direction for a sec or so is not used however. @@nayemhq

thanks for the video. do you know if the slider can rotate 180 degrees when it gets to the end of the slider to then be facing the other way on the next slide?
Great review? I've seen varying weights for this listed. Can you please measure the weight of the slider with feet and carriage, motor and battery? How much is it not including the ball head and travel case?
Great review! I really liked the footage starting at 3:23. It's very cinematic. Can you share what lens, light, frame rate and color profile you used here? Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
I used my Zeiss 55mm F1.8 for that shot. I recorded everything in the Cine4 Profile on my Sony A7III. As light sources I only used a IKEA desk lamp as well as 2 candles close by. I recorded everything in 24fps.
I want to do time lapse for the growing fruits. Take about 2 months to ripe. Is it possible if I can set up the slider for that long period? (of course I know that I have to use DC power to plug in). Thanks
Thanks for the great review, the best I found on TH-cam! Do you think it's good enough for shooting real estate videos? Maybe the not so fast speed and 100% engine noise will not be a real problem for this type of work. Do You think it is possible to speed up the shoot in post-production without visible shaking? Thank you again for your work.
Thank you for your nice comment! Yeah that is actually a good work around. I did that as well on the sample footage ( 3:12 ) I also have it as a separate upload on my channel. So for real estate videos it seems like it would work flawlessly. Just use two sturdy tripods.

Sehr hilfreich und super Produktionsqualität von dir, Hut ab ! Ich würde gerne die Carbonrohre, die Stange in der Mitte und den Riemen ersetzen durch 6m lange Elemente für eine Fixinstallation (Video live-stream). Denkst du das dies machbar resp. brauchbar ist abgesehen von den konstruktiven Herausforderungen ? Besten Dank !
Hiho Josua! Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar! Oha, das klingt nach einen spannenden Projekt. Also dem Motor bzw. der Steuerung sollte es sicher egal wenn wenn der Slider länger gebaut wird, der Motor würde ja auch jetzt blind weiterfahren. Ich bin mir grad nicht sicher ob man die Füße leicht entfernen kann, werde dir aber nachher extra nachschauen gehen. Ich könnte mir aber vorstellen, zwecks Ausfahlsicherheit, wäre es vielleicht besser wenn du einen Slider verwendest, bei welchen der Motor nicht auf der bewegenden Plattform sitzt, sondern fix installiert auf einen der Enden ist. Aber du wirkst so als wüsstest sowieso schon recht exakt wie du das machen willst. Sonst fällt mir aber eh nur die Rhino Motion Produkte ein, und die sind halt viel teurer. Reicht dir denn die Geschwindigkeit dieses Slider bei solch einer Distanz?
Can the motor be disconnected to do manual slides and faster if needed? Great review - loved the footage. I have had sliders in the past that were amazing but a chore to deploy and use. This looks pretty basic which is more often than not what you really need.
Thanks for your kind comment! Yeah sure, if you dont attach the motor & belt you just got yourself a perfectly normal manual slider. I will be uploading a review about the MOZA Slypod E tomorrow. Thats probably the slider with the shortest setuptime ever, but has some very unique down sides. You might want to take a look at it.
super video! habe mir dank dir den slider gekauft! sag mal weißt du ob es möglich ist im "loop" modus den slider smoother zu machen wenn er die richtung wechselt. fahre gerne so mit 60% und wenn der slider bei B ankommt und wieder richtung A fahren will wackelt der einmal so doof.. LG
Sorry für die späte Antwort! Danke für dein Kompliment. Ahh, ich verstehe was du meinst, du würdest wollen das er ordentlich abbremst und langsam wieder beschleunigt bei einem neuen Anlauf. Das ist mir noch gar nicht aufgefallen, weil ich das bis jetzt nicht gebraucht habe. Ich fürchte fast dass man daran nichts ändern kann, jedoch kann ich gern beim Hersteller für dich nachfragen.
Hallo, danke für deine tolle Review. Habe das Teil seit drei Tagen und experimentiere nun ein wenig. Vielleicht kannst du mir helfen: bei timelapse macht meine GH5 nur kleine Videoaufnahmen, keine Einzelfotos. Habe dazu auch keine Einstellung in den App (habe App Modell) gefunden... Gruß aus Bayern!
Thank you :) There is a deticated version that is controlled via a Smartphone app: amzn.to/3ajYHXy But you also can use this app with the remote version: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhiying.sushiyu.smartshot&hl=de&gl=US But it seems like that the slider with the dedicated app control is your better choice
For vertically mounting you mention that you first lock the slider in place then activate the motor then unlock the slider. Does this mean that if the motor is not activated that it doesn't lock the slider in place? I.e. if the slider is vertically mounted and the power to the motor is cut while the camera is near the top will it crash to the floor?
Sorry for the late reply! Yes, you need the power of the motor to hold it in place for vertical use. Use, if the power would go out, your camera will fall to the end of the slider. The lock just cant be locked while using it. So, if you are scared of using it like that, you would need to DIY same sort of safty mechanism, like some sort of a safty rope.
Well, the panning feature rotates around a focus point in the middle. So framing a subject, if you want a circular movement, is really easy. That photo from the Neewer website illustrates that: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2960/5706/products/5_ee30734a-9c52-4c8c-ac4b-47fb80b4dd05_800x.jpg?v=1596621136 For everything else you will need a motorized video head. I hope that answers your question.
Hiho Chris! Unfortunately you have to rebuild every time. I will soon upload a review about a similar slider with a way faster setup time, just so you know
One more thing - I am also really impressed how fast you completed this video (and this when considering the quality of the video, which is amazing). How did you manage that? Could you maybe share a tip with your fan (the fan is me)? 🙂
Puhh, I wouldnt consider it that fast to be honest, I wanted to finish it way earlier :D But thats how its always is. I do have a certain workflow which seems to work best for me: 1. i write a "script" for the video, basically just the text im going to speak in the video 2. voice recording the text script 3. i define which kind of shots i would need for each paragraph / sentence in the script. So like making notes which camera angles would be nice, how long these shots need to be (roughly) 4. the recording process. Thanks to step 3, i can just work off the necessary shots quite quickly as I already defined what i need. I always get a few extra detailed shots just to be sure. 5. editing process (which is also quite fast, thanks to the script + defining which shots belong to what part of the script 6. little bit of text animation (here im losing quite a lot of time because i tend to experiment a bit :D 7. Color grade 8. Render
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I see. But I am slower than that, so for me this still looks pretty fast :D Tobi, thank you so much for sharing the information about your workflow. This will definitely help me a lot and I sincerely appreciate it! And please continue making great videos. Your work on this channel is truly inspirational for me.
Hi@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY. Thank you for this video. Very comprehensive and informative. I also like your workflow plan, it makes good sense. I took delivery of this slider a week ago and have already converted an old Bass Guitar case so that it can remain mostly set up with motor and belt attached in transit. When I go out on a shoot I'm given very little time to set up, so this will help immensely. I purchased some foam rubber and cut out pieces to set and protect the slider and other accessories like the remote and battery etc. It works a treat. I have one issue with the slider however. I discovered that when shooting with it for the first time today, using an iPhone 11 Pro Max mounted on the Neewer Ball Head, I found that it shudders quite badly rendering the shots completely useless. I tried everything, including mounting a gimbal to the Ball Head. Interesting results, but I wouldn't want to be doing that at every shoot. I finally figured out that the tighter the belt, (and I didn't really have it very tight to start with), the more vibration or "shuddering" occurred. So I loosened the belt and found that the vibration mostly disappeared. Because the belt is a bit slacker, there seems to be less transmission of vibration. The travel is now smooth, at least until it moves closer to the tensioner. There was still a little vibration as it moved closer. So the only additional thing I had to do, is place a small wedge in the tensioner so that it doesn't move. . . . . . . . . . . . It's now working very well indeed.
@@SmakOnContent That sounds so cool that you are using an old bass guitar case for the slider. You are going to confuse people when you setup it up in front of them :D Very unfortunate that you had a few issues. I could imagine that the weight also plays a role in that situation. I mostly tested the slider with the big Manfrotto head seen in the video, in combination with my Sony A7 III. So my setup is waaaay more heavy than yours. But i am glad that you fixed it :) I will definitely try losing the belt a bit more the next time.
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Yes, I think you’re right, the heavier the camera and lens etc, the less issue you will have with the vibration on a firmer belt. Slacker tension is definitely worth noting for very light cameras and phone cams.
Hello thanks for the review, I am looking to buy this, do you know if there is a separate power input for the motor so you can run it on a very long time lapse or would you have to hot swap the batteries out, I know sony made a double battery for camcorders so I guess that will fit this but im talking about 3 or 4 ddad s use and I dont know if the battery will last that long. Thank you ( fantastic TV by the way). I was also wondering whether you could add longer rails and go more vertical into 3 metres for example, I assume nothing stops the motor from going that distance as long as you are under weight?
Thanks for your nice comment! Do you have a power socket available where you do these long time lapse shots? If so, you just could get a Sony F dummy battery. One like this: amzn.to/3a5bE7I or amzn.to/3wQWLzJ Hot swapping doesnt really work, as you would need to start the whole setup process again (Setting A to B point, timelapse options). Yes, extending the slider should work, as the motor will go as far as you tell him to, so that shouldnt be a problem. But a three meter vertical setup sounds quite complicated to get a sturdy setup. I just dont know how you could extend it so there is a smooth transition in the middle. If you are good with manual craftmanship then you are probably good to go. What are you trying to record in that timelapse? sounds like a really interesting project. The TV is the Samsung Frame TV, i do have a review about it on my channel.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Thanks Tobias Thanks for that I had forgotten on that you can get a dummy battery, I could pop that on a socket or a large battery using a buck converter to manage the power, If I go ahead with it Ill check the voltage and also pop a stabiliser on it. I havent fully decided on this, I may go for a 2040 or the next vslot up stabiliser a guy in the uk makes which looks quite good, as you say it could bend in the middle and 3 metres of 2040 is way more rigid than carbon. Its nothing exciting, its to follow a pool build but from inside the pool!! Most time lapses on pooles are from the outside I want one from the inside hence the osmo or go pro so i can waterproof the cameras. Will be fun, If it works well Ill load it up and send a link in about 3 months. Ill check the TV link thanks and most work is ok for me apart from electronics which for some reason remain a mystery, it was bad enough learning spanish!!! Many thanks.... If I do buy one it will be from amazon Spain , you dont have a link for that, if you add it Ill buy it from them if i buy it. cheers
@@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924 That projects sound so crazy. I love it. If you remember me when its done, I would love to see the video. I dont have an account for the Amazon Spain affiliate program, but thanks for asking. I would be really happy though if you would subscribe to my channel though! Will you upload it to TH-cam or somewhere else? Because then I will surely follow your channel too.
I would recommend to contact Neewer support, but you also could try a smartphone app. There are a few out there that can work with this slider, like SmartShot on Android.
I use an iPhone 11 pro, an osmo 3, and iMovie to create videos to sell real estate. I am about to get my commercial license for my Mavic 2 and I am looking to add a tripod and a slider that will work well with the slider to my set of tools. What tripod and slider to do you suggest buying? Cheers, Brian C. Smith
Sorry for my way too late response! I would suggest you a smaller slider, so that you have to only carry one sturdy tripod with you. So maybe like 80cm. This slider from neewer is a great starting point. There are also slider outthere which are more focused on smartphone use, like the Vectorgear Air slider. There you can program focus pulls with your iPhone. For a tripod I would just get a decent sturdy tripod (doesnt have to be from Manfrotto or something similar). Also, i would highly recommend buying a second hand one, as tripods just dont break.
No it doesnt, and I also dont have one. I only used the rotation features build in the sliders. Are you looking for a three axis video head, or just one or rotation?
@@realJacobLane Thats going to be quite expensive. You could look into the HeadOne Series of edelkrone: edelkrone-eu.com/products/headone Or something like that: amzn.to/3rKtfs6 But maybe you should just get a motion control system where everything is from the same company. Like from Edelkrone, iFootage Shart, or Rhino Arc (once again, very expensive stuff)
@@ELECTRICSCARS You mean this one, right? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhiying.sushiyu.smartshot&hl=de&gl=US Sounds cool, but the average rating seems quite low. But i will give it a shot the next time.
@@TecknomediaDigital If you set the speed below 90% the rotating mechanism is fine, if you use a faster speed it can be a bit shaky / abrupt at the end.
@@latifqureshi9821 With the red screws at the end. Just unscrew them and shift the middle rod around. You can see it here in the pictures: neewer.com/products/video-camera-supports-10094861
Puh, hard to tell. Some movement in your shots could look interesting, but im not sure how your dog would react. Maybe he/she would get distracted by a camera moving by.
They’re making a 23.6”/60 cm model, right? A lot cheaper, but the mechanisms look totally different. Or is this an OLDER model: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NDLT3W9/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AFA3TDJDXF79M&psc=1 I’m self vlogging, sitting at a desk, and want something like this just for zoom-ins, using a GoPro. My only concern is whether it can give me a fast enough zoom-in for like a dramatic effect. Finally, does this linked model here “promise” to do what yours does, albeit at a shorter size?
Yea, Neewer is making quite a lot of different slider products. I dont know that exact model, it looks quite a lot different. So i really cant give you any information about that. Are there any reviews out there? And for example, the Neewer Slider that I review would be too slow for any dramatic zoom ins. Of easy going vlogging i could imagine that the MOZA Slypod series could be for you, but its more expensive than the slider you linked. I made a review about it: th-cam.com/video/5o10GWHjpjg/w-d-xo.html

@@NoraphonKaedklung Oh, sure thing. Glad you liked it :)
How is the panning on the slider to keep a subject in focus?
Well, the panning feature rotates around a focus point in the middle. So framing a subject, if you want a circular movement, is really easy. That photo from the Neewer website illustrates that: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2960/5706/products/5_ee30734a-9c52-4c8c-ac4b-47fb80b4dd05_800x.jpg?v=1596621136
For everything else you will need a motorized video head. I hope that answers your question.
Will it fit in the transport bag after assembly? Or... do you have to rebuild it every time you want to use it?
Hiho Chris! Unfortunately you have to rebuild every time.
I will soon upload a review about a similar slider with a way faster setup time, just so you know
One more thing - I am also really impressed how fast you completed this video (and this when considering the quality of the video, which is amazing). How did you manage that? Could you maybe share a tip with your fan (the fan is me)? 🙂
Puhh, I wouldnt consider it that fast to be honest, I wanted to finish it way earlier :D But thats how its always is.
I do have a certain workflow which seems to work best for me:
1. i write a "script" for the video, basically just the text im going to speak in the video
2. voice recording the text script
3. i define which kind of shots i would need for each paragraph / sentence in the script. So like making notes which camera angles would be nice, how long these shots need to be (roughly)
4. the recording process. Thanks to step 3, i can just work off the necessary shots quite quickly as I already defined what i need. I always get a few extra detailed shots just to be sure.
5. editing process (which is also quite fast, thanks to the script + defining which shots belong to what part of the script
6. little bit of text animation (here im losing quite a lot of time because i tend to experiment a bit :D
7. Color grade
8. Render
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I see. But I am slower than that, so for me this still looks pretty fast :D Tobi, thank you so much for sharing the information about your workflow. This will definitely help me a lot and I sincerely appreciate it! And please continue making great videos. Your work on this channel is truly inspirational for me.
Hi@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY. Thank you for this video. Very comprehensive and informative. I also like your workflow plan, it makes good sense.
I took delivery of this slider a week ago and have already converted an old Bass Guitar case so that it can remain mostly set up with motor and belt attached in transit. When I go out on a shoot I'm given very little time to set up, so this will help immensely. I purchased some foam rubber and cut out pieces to set and protect the slider and other accessories like the remote and battery etc. It works a treat.
I have one issue with the slider however. I discovered that when shooting with it for the first time today, using an iPhone 11 Pro Max mounted on the Neewer Ball Head, I found that it shudders quite badly rendering the shots completely useless. I tried everything, including mounting a gimbal to the Ball Head. Interesting results, but I wouldn't want to be doing that at every shoot. I finally figured out that the tighter the belt, (and I didn't really have it very tight to start with), the more vibration or "shuddering" occurred. So I loosened the belt and found that the vibration mostly disappeared. Because the belt is a bit slacker, there seems to be less transmission of vibration. The travel is now smooth, at least until it moves closer to the tensioner. There was still a little vibration as it moved closer. So the only additional thing I had to do, is place a small wedge in the tensioner so that it doesn't move. . . . . . . . . . . . It's now working very well indeed.
@@SmakOnContent That sounds so cool that you are using an old bass guitar case for the slider. You are going to confuse people when you setup it up in front of them :D
Very unfortunate that you had a few issues. I could imagine that the weight also plays a role in that situation. I mostly tested the slider with the big Manfrotto head seen in the video, in combination with my Sony A7 III. So my setup is waaaay more heavy than yours. But i am glad that you fixed it :) I will definitely try losing the belt a bit more the next time.
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Yes, I think you’re right, the heavier the camera and lens etc, the less issue you will have with the vibration on a firmer belt. Slacker tension is definitely worth noting for very light cameras and phone cams.
Hello thanks for the review, I am looking to buy this, do you know if there is a separate power input for the motor so you can run it on a very long time lapse or would you have to hot swap the batteries out, I know sony made a double battery for camcorders so I guess that will fit this but im talking about 3 or 4 ddad s use and I dont know if the battery will last that long. Thank you ( fantastic TV by the way). I was also wondering whether you could add longer rails and go more vertical into 3 metres for example, I assume nothing stops the motor from going that distance as long as you are under weight?
Thanks for your nice comment! Do you have a power socket available where you do these long time lapse shots? If so, you just could get a Sony F dummy battery. One like this: amzn.to/3a5bE7I or amzn.to/3wQWLzJ
Hot swapping doesnt really work, as you would need to start the whole setup process again (Setting A to B point, timelapse options).
Yes, extending the slider should work, as the motor will go as far as you tell him to, so that shouldnt be a problem. But a three meter vertical setup sounds quite complicated to get a sturdy setup. I just dont know how you could extend it so there is a smooth transition in the middle. If you are good with manual craftmanship then you are probably good to go. What are you trying to record in that timelapse? sounds like a really interesting project.
The TV is the Samsung Frame TV, i do have a review about it on my channel.

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Thanks Tobias Thanks for that I had forgotten on that you can get a dummy battery, I could pop that on a socket or a large battery using a buck converter to manage the power, If I go ahead with it Ill check the voltage and also pop a stabiliser on it. I havent fully decided on this, I may go for a 2040 or the next vslot up stabiliser a guy in the uk makes which looks quite good, as you say it could bend in the middle and 3 metres of 2040 is way more rigid than carbon. Its nothing exciting, its to follow a pool build but from inside the pool!! Most time lapses on pooles are from the outside I want one from the inside hence the osmo or go pro so i can waterproof the cameras. Will be fun, If it works well Ill load it up and send a link in about 3 months. Ill check the TV link thanks and most work is ok for me apart from electronics which for some reason remain a mystery, it was bad enough learning spanish!!! Many thanks.... If I do buy one it will be from amazon Spain , you dont have a link for that, if you add it Ill buy it from them if i buy it. cheers
@@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924 That projects sound so crazy. I love it. If you remember me when its done, I would love to see the video.
I dont have an account for the Amazon Spain affiliate program, but thanks for asking. I would be really happy though if you would subscribe to my channel though!
Will you upload it to TH-cam or somewhere else? Because then I will surely follow your channel too.
hey, just wondering what should i do if i lose the remote?
I would recommend to contact Neewer support, but you also could try a smartphone app. There are a few out there that can work with this slider, like SmartShot on Android.
Would it be possible to replicate these sort of movements with a gimbal and a steady moving hand?
Depends on how you precise you do need to replicate the shots. Im certain you couldnt to it perfectly with this setup.
alot of jitter in the shots to be honest. Did you add any post stabilisation?
I use an iPhone 11 pro, an osmo 3, and iMovie to create videos to sell real estate. I am about to get my commercial license for my Mavic 2 and I am looking to add a tripod and a slider that will work well with the slider to my set of tools. What tripod and slider to do you suggest buying? Cheers, Brian C. Smith
Sorry for my way too late response! I would suggest you a smaller slider, so that you have to only carry one sturdy tripod with you. So maybe like 80cm. This slider from neewer is a great starting point. There are also slider outthere which are more focused on smartphone use, like the Vectorgear Air slider. There you can program focus pulls with your iPhone.
For a tripod I would just get a decent sturdy tripod (doesnt have to be from Manfrotto or something similar). Also, i would highly recommend buying a second hand one, as tripods just dont break.
Does this slider come with the motorized head aswell? For pan and tilt? Or did you buy that separately? If you did, can you please link it?
No it doesnt, and I also dont have one. I only used the rotation features build in the sliders. Are you looking for a three axis video head, or just one or rotation?
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I would really like a three axis head.
@@realJacobLane Thats going to be quite expensive. You could look into the HeadOne Series of edelkrone: edelkrone-eu.com/products/headone
Or something like that: amzn.to/3rKtfs6
But maybe you should just get a motion control system where everything is from the same company. Like from Edelkrone, iFootage Shart, or Rhino Arc (once again, very expensive stuff)
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Oof. I may just stick with the slider for now. Thank you for the quick responses!
At first I thought it was the terminator 'Arnie' himself talking ... cool video though
Haha, I really cant hide my accent, even if I would try.
For Android Users, the app called SmartShot and can be downloaded in Google Playstore, Language is set to English, Cheers
And what is it for?
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBYIts for Controlling the Motor, you can add AB points, set slide speed and Intervals for Timelapses
@@ELECTRICSCARS You mean this one, right? play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhiying.sushiyu.smartshot&hl=de&gl=US
Sounds cool, but the average rating seems quite low. But i will give it a shot the next time.
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY yes, yeah this app is not the best and sometimes there are connection issues but imo its the only app for this slider
Did you check that when using it with turn activated in video mode it is abrupt?
I am not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean how the the slider slows down when he is reaching the end and starts again?
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY No, I mean when you move the rods to make the camera rotate.
@@TecknomediaDigital If you set the speed below 90% the rotating mechanism is fine, if you use a faster speed it can be a bit shaky / abrupt at the end.
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY yes that's what i meant
I am considering buying the YC Onion 3.0 for this problem, since my use is for video, not for timelapse
Does the remote control work through walls or is it aimed IR only?
Its not IR only, as you also can use your smartphone to control it (even though the app looks somewhat werid)
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY thanks a lot, mate!
Instead of a camera, could I use my phone with no extra gear?
what about the automatic panning (Roation)???
What do you want to know about it?
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY How do we pan the camera left or right automatically while sliding... I've just purchased
this slider after watching your video.
@@latifqureshi9821 With the red screws at the end. Just unscrew them and shift the middle rod around. You can see it here in the pictures: neewer.com/products/video-camera-supports-10094861
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Yes, it worked. Thank you so much...
coool
Should I buy this for my video style?
Puh, hard to tell. Some movement in your shots could look interesting, but im not sure how your dog would react. Maybe he/she would get distracted by a camera moving by.
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY WoW thanks for the feedback! Yes true but I think it would look cool with preparing the food. Thank you anyway!
@@DoggyDinnerTime Oh yeah, it indeed could look really cool while preparing the food. Didnt think of that.
If they remote control is large, I would think they would use the more accessible AA batteries instead of AAA batteries.
where did you buy it?
On Amazon. Links are in the video description.
Wow..looks like the price jumped a lot
It did? That sucks. Here, where I live, its pretty much the same.
They’re making a 23.6”/60 cm model, right? A lot cheaper, but the mechanisms look totally different. Or is this an OLDER model:
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NDLT3W9/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AFA3TDJDXF79M&psc=1
I’m self vlogging, sitting at a desk, and want something like this just for zoom-ins, using a GoPro. My only concern is whether it can give me a fast enough zoom-in for like a dramatic effect.
Finally, does this linked model here “promise” to do what yours does, albeit at a shorter size?
Yea, Neewer is making quite a lot of different slider products. I dont know that exact model, it looks quite a lot different. So i really cant give you any information about that. Are there any reviews out there? And for example, the Neewer Slider that I review would be too slow for any dramatic zoom ins.
Of easy going vlogging i could imagine that the MOZA Slypod series could be for you, but its more expensive than the slider you linked. I made a review about it: th-cam.com/video/5o10GWHjpjg/w-d-xo.html
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I figured out that for what I need, the little 3-wheel model that doesn’t even go on a track is all I need, and cheap too.
@@Ira88881 Sounds great! I hope you are happy with it :) What are you gonna vlog about?
@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I’m sure I’ll be happy with it, but when my wife looks at our bank statement later, SHE won’t be.
@@Ira88881 Haha, completely understand!
W is your tripod Head
Its the Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W
