My guy, THIS right here is what a review needs to be. You didn't just deliver a polished turd here, this was concise and well-executed. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! I am happy I was able to provide you the information that you needed. I love to hear things like this because it reminds me of the reason why I started making reviews. To help others get the most out of tech I love and use! Hope you make some killer Videos with this (:
I was looking into this slider but could not find a video that actually says much. Your video is the best video I have come across about it. Well done.
Thanks a lot Lex. I’m happy my video was helpful for you. 👊🏽
Bro thanks so much for the informative review! Been looking to add something like this to my set up and I'm thinking this might work perfectly. Sick video and dope editing btw too! 🔥
man. thank you for taking a second to show the motor loudness
No doubt! happy that was helpful for you.
This is the best review I’ve seen for a camera slider.
Quality over quantity.
I Love your work 👏👏
Definitely getting this slider.
❤
Awesome, thank you so much fam. I appreciate your comment 😊
This slider is so dope easy to use and can get great shots.
Wow! 1) first time watching your content, instantly subscribed 2) I was thinking about purchasing this slider this morning and I wanted to see some reviews. You answered all of the questions I had, so well done! Gonna pull the trigger and pick it up. Love your studio too! Great work!
Thanks for subscribing Benny! And that’s great to hear you found my video helpful with this purchase. I love to hear that which means I did the job right! Ahah. The slider is top notch. I hope you get great use out of it. Good luck my friend
I bought the 120 ER1 slider with discount coupon and no taxes… works very well, plan to use as C roll camera on interviews.
That will be fire 🔥🔥🔥
Very clear, well-structured, informative video; thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot Gabby. Happy I was able to help
Thanks for the video, mate. It was nicely produced, explained perfectly and answered all my questions. I just put out my order for this and can´t wait to start. You are one of those TH-camrs, where I simply do not understand the subscription amount - this should be a 100k subs channel at least, and as a fellow creator I wish you all the best for the way. Subbed and liked of course
Thank you for all of your kind words. I am happy I was able to answer all your questions in the video and help you make a decision on a slider. I really appreciate your feedback and taking the time to share your thoughts. 🖤🖤🖤
Cleanest review i've seen for any product. You nice.
Jeryl thank you for your kind words 🖤🖤
last year I bought the manual neewer slider without the motor and it works pretty well for the price that I got it at and can get some decent shots with it when I get creative with it. Definitely want to give this a shot in the future, the footage you get from this looks really good.
I had a manual one too and it was pretty good. The motorized one makes things a little easier. This one isn’t that bad in price compared to higher end sliders that’s twice the cost. I love that it’s easy to use!
Good job William! Thanks for the recommendation and review. I'll be adding this to my wish via your link! ;) btw Happy New Year!
That’s great to hear. It’s pretty cool if you need it for your workflow. Happy New Year 🎊🎆
I picked this up for $129 on Amazon. Can't wait to try it!
Ohhh 😮 you got a nice deal 🫨😄😄😄
First off you know i rock with the shirt haha. That slider is def something ive been needing in my tool kit, just waiting on a company to let me try it out haha
ahaha I dig that for sure! Would be great piece of kit to setup a B cam with while you do shoots for cut aways in your videos. Pretty good investment! You can also try reaching out to GVM or Neewer and se if they will hook a brother up!
My guy! This is exactly what I needed
Yooo!! That’s great to hear bro 😎 happy this video was helpful 👊🏽
Great video! I just bought one myself and this video really helped me out thank you!
Thank you. I’m happy this video was helpful. Hope you enjoy the slider and make some cool stuff
Does it allow you to keep centered on a product
Thanks for the great video, gonna go get one for myself
Glad I could help. It’s an awesome piece of kit to have. A great choice and good budget price
Amazing review thank you!!
Good to hear my friend.
Cheers dude, very helpful vid 🎥👍🏻
That’s great to hear Gavin. Happy this was helpful for you.
Nice review
Thanks a lot broski 💪🏾
Thank you. I've been a 420 creator almost 7 yrs and I'm finally about to start using a camera instead of my cell phones. This video helped me make my purchase. I subbed
Thats great to hear bro. Congratulations on the new camera and coming over to the dark side (: I appreciate the sub as well. The Camera alone will be game changer for your content and this slider will add that extra razzle dazzle to the production. I'm happy you found this video helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
Excellent video!
Thanks a lot. Happy tit was helpful Josh
awesome vid William
Thanks a lot 🥹😄😉
What setting did u set yours too can u do a video showing the difference ways to use this slider please
Awesome review🔥. I'm looking into getting this. This is totally off topic, but would you mind sharing the size of your office space. It looks amazing and it looks like a great size. I'm looking into building a shed for my office and debating on a 10x12.
I believe it is 12 by 14
good ahh vid cuz
Seems like a good slider for the low
Word bro. It’s pretty sweet to get good smooth footage. Also would be good for a livestream to add movement. Definitely a good investment 💯💯
does this have the middle dead space when using the parallax bar like the GVM sliders were notorious force?
Nope
Hello William, I have a question, can you use the slider in manual mode? I mean using your hand to slide it and have it a smooth movement? Thanks!
You can, but you would save more money if you bought a manual slider instead.
Thanks for the review. Any choppiness in the motor movement? and are your still using this model?
Yes I’m still using this for those buttery smooth moving shots. Nope no choppiness all smooth footage even at its highest speed.and thanks bro
Hi William and comment section- would any of you know if you can set this up vertically or would the motor struggle? Cheers and thanks for the video!
You set up vertical by getting a mount that supports it. I have a small rig cage on my camera with plenty of screw holes and to film vertical I add a quick release plate on the side where I want to mount so I cant mount the camera in vertical orientation. I hope that makes sense for you
@@WilliamNevius thanks so much for the info! You can tell Neewer they've made a sale thanks to you 😀
Ahaha nice. Im happy I was able to help with that.
I’m pretty sure I have a link that can save you a few bucks on the purchase linked in my bio 😏
Thank you!
Right on!!
@@WilliamNevius can I ask a question? I tried downloading the iPhone app but as far as I see, there isn’t an option for this model. Did you run into this by chance?
Great review. Does the app still work? I read elsewhere that an update had stopped it from working.
I just tested the app and slider, and YES it still works perfectly fine. It is the same app I demoed in the video; no updates were required. and thank you!
@@WilliamNevius thank you. I've seen varying weights listed for this. Can you please weigh the slider (rails, carriage, feet, motor and battery) but not the ball head or carry case, and tell me how much it is?
mine comes tomorrow, my biggest question is can it lock on a subject as it pans left and right?
You can lock the camera on a subject by centering it in the duration of a slide which works well. But there is no tracking function where it will follow you. I hope that makes sense
Can you attached a tripod head and use it without the motor if you wanted to?
Yes you can
very good review. Could you please tell me the best camera settings for use while using a slider? No one seems to talk about that. Every review I've seen only mention the slider. I just purchased that slider... Never done a video in my life 🤣🤣🤣. But I want to learn how to do it. Any tips on camera settings, like aperture, ISO, speed and such? I would very much appreciate it. Cheers! and keep up the good job.
Thanks Miguel. Much appreciated. People don’t talk about camera settings because it all depends on the environment you’re shooting in. For professional shooters you want to be in manual video mode. The most common frames per second would be 30 fps or 24 for cinematic. If your shooting in 30 you want the shutter speed to be 1/60 for 24 1/50 (double the frame rate) aperture would depend on the lighting in the scene and if you want the focus to be narrow, iso comes into play when shooting and your exposure is low.
I’d recommend watching a video on TH-cam that goes over your specific camera functions And lots of videos on how to shoot video in manual. I learned from youtube as well (:
I know this is a lot of info but I hope this is helpful cheers my friend.
@@WilliamNevius Wow! Thanks so much… I can’t wait for my slider to arrive and start playing with it. The info you so kindly gave me is gold for a beginner like me. Thanks my friend.
So good to hear that bud. Very happy I was able to help you and I wish you the best. Hope you enjoy your new slider (:
hi matey, i have a zv-e1.. it has no multiport.. so i cant plug in thatcable.. do you know if the phone app can control both that slider module.. and the camera? im guessing not
Sony ZVE1 has the same port as the Sony 6400 and most Sony cameras which is the HDMI micro which is the cable I used in the video and comes with this slider.
I have like a fixed setup where I'd like to use the whole rail to slide the camera back and forth in a loop. Is that just a matter of turning it on or do I need to setup it up each time I turn it on?
You would need to setup each time But it takes a few clicks in the app to do. It's very easy set both points and enable loop!
@@WilliamNeviusThanks! Any idea what the battery life is when you're looping it back and forth? Planning on using this on a live broadcast, so it needs to have sufficient power to keep running for like 2-3 hours.
Hi great review of slider! But did you have ever problem with connection to the app? I used it couple of time and suddenly lost connection and I can’t gets it back…
Thank you! Nope, mine works just fine. I just used it as well. It does work on Bluetooth, so maybe you're going out of range...A better option is to get the remote so you do not have to rely on the app and your phone. It is called RT-08 and here is the link: amzn.to/3RTQXS8
@@WilliamNevius Thanks! good advice. Bud I had to speak with newer support service and its look like that bluetooth on my slider is faulty, so they going to send me new one.
Nice. Happy you got it figured out and I was able to provide some insight. 👊🏽
my guy! Great video. i’ve got the slider and love it but when i set up the panning motion there’s quite a lot of jitter when it rotates, anything i’m doing wrong?
Whast up bro! So when you do not use the pan slide, there is no jitter, only when you adjust the 2 knobs on each side? Thats strange. The red knob on the front is untightened, right? and you are tightening both knobs to adjust the pan motion? That shouldn't happen if you're getting smooth motion without pan.
@@WilliamNevius Yeah it’s not massively jittery but as it spins you can slightly see it jittering round opposed to smoothly spinning. It only happens when I set a different point on the ends to keep the camera looking at me the whole time. I’ve loosened the knob at the front but is it meant to be all the way maybe?
@@JusttJC yes, the knob in the front is meant to be loosened all the way when in use you only tighten it when you want the part where the camera is mounted to not move during travel, so loosen it all the way up when using. Tighten it all the way up when not using.
@@WilliamNevius okay sweet I’ll try that! Thanks for getting back to me👊🏾
@@JusttJC no problem bro. Hope this fixes your issue 🙌🏽
Thanks for the review. I need something like this for time-lapse movies. But I'm assuming that you can't make it move in increments in a preset manner?
Yes there is a Time-lapse mode which you can customize to take pictures every sec 1 min etc.. you can program this in the app or on the remote it triggers the shutter as well super simple to do.
@@WilliamNevius thanks a million for the quick reply. I will order one and give it a whir!
No problem David hope it helps enhance your photos 😁
Follow-up question. Did you feel that it was worth buying the upgrade remote? Thanks again, David.
For me yes because every thing uses the phone. It’s annoying to have to switch apps to control your electronics. Having a standalone unit to control is a better option for me so I can do other things on my phone in the meantime.
Thank you for the breakdown of this slider. I can't wait to use mine however, I am not a fan of downloading apps that have horrible ratings, which this one does. I purchased the remote in hopes of using it and now I can not update it. The remote did will not pair to the slider. I read the manual which states BEFORE pairing, you must update the slider firmware. I followed the provided instructins with no success. Have you updated the firmware of the slider? I refuse to download it to my macbook pro, so I used my hp and got as far as 3. Firmware update but its telling me the path name is incorrect which is something I don't control. Can you tell me how you did this?
Hey, you should not have to update the firmware for the remote to work. I did not update any firmware on my remote. It worked straight out of the box. There should have been a user manual that tells you how to configure the remote for the slider. You probably can go to your Amazon cart and look up the manual that way on the product page or on neewers website if you can’t find your remote. It was a little tricky to pair. And It took me a second to figure out how to do this but it works without firmware update.
The app isn’t that bad and will work for your needs but yes the remote makes things much faster.
@@WilliamNevius Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. I will try again and see what happens.
Great reivew! How is the slider holding up? I bought mine not too long ago and my shots are quite jittery. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
Thank you. This is holding up great for me and still getting great smooth shots. For the jitters have tried to calibrate the gimbal? Are you loosing the locking knob for the center plate? Without the motor on does it move smoothly? Maybe check the track to make sure it’s tight? Im assuming your camera is below weight limit?
@@WilliamNevius Thanks for the reply! Just realized the track was the culprit, it was ever so slightly loose. Thank you so much!
That’s awesome you figured it 👏🏽 I’m happy my suggestions were able to help you figure things out.
Well, we meet again hehehehehe. This video cleared some things up for me muhahahaha.🤣
🤣🤣🤣 happy to be around able to assist bro. Good to see you here.
Damn, I have to either disassemble my entire camera cage / rail system to use this slider, or purchase some go-between adaptor.
Yes. Get a quick release plate system and put the plate on your camera accessories for simple switching between tripod and slider.
Great video. You said at the end that you need to choose whether to use the remote or the app. Does it also come with a wired remote?
Thanks. Nope only remote is the app that comes with it. It works well. The actual remote is sold separately. 30 bucks I want to say
@@WilliamNevius I want to use my phone as a second camera on the slider so it won't be available to actually control the slider.
Purchase the remote. It will eliminate the need to use your phone.
@@WilliamNevius Thanks.
Hey William, will the app save the start and end points even after I turn off the motor?
Yes the app can save your custom settings (point AtoB if set, speed etc..l) It saves the previous settings after powering down and repowering back up. You can also create favorites in the app of custom speed and selected points to recall the same movement for next time. hope that answers your question.
@@WilliamNevius thank you so much. You answered my question perfectly. I appreciate it.
Before I buy this, in all the vids I am seeing if you can pan or motorize the camera head ~90º or if you can only just adjust that middle bar?
You can only adjust the middle bar to create the pan movement. There is no function in the app that allows you to control the pan motion. Hope that answers your question
@@WilliamNevius Thanks for the quick reply. That answers my question unfortunately. LOL I was hoping for a motorized head.
No problem man. Lol yeah only the more expensive ones have that
what are the outer diameters of the three tubes?
5 inches in width by 40 inches in Length
How long does it take from Point A to point b on the slowest speed.?
5 hours for the 100cm version that I bought
@AstrocandyTV thanks for sharing it homie
What's the app that's used for the slider?
Search “Neewer” in the App Store. That’s what it’s called
Troubleshooting? Mine is connected but I’m not getting any motion from it
Does it move manually when you push it? If not, make sure you twist the knob on the motor section of the slider I thinks it’s a red twist knob that unlocks the motor to move. Let me know if that works
Can it follow or track a product
There is no follow or track feature in the app but you can set movements to achieve a tracking shots like with a product; locked on to a subject going side to side... I hope that make sense.
Can the iPhone be used on it?
Yes of course
does anyone has problem connecting it to the phone? I click OK but it just keep loading.
Mine works great every time. Try resetting and starting over.
Where is the link
Here you go. Price has dropped btw (: amzn.to/3KRGDpB
The app doesn’t seem to recognize the slider, the app looks different and when I hit add device it can’t find it even after troubleshooting
The app is called Neewer and it is still the exact same one in this video. Make sure your Bluetooth is on. If not it’s possible it could be something else so I’d try reaching out to support. Neewer is really good at making sure customers satisfaction
Hey man, I thought this slider can do tracking, no?
It can. You need to set it manually by placing your subject and adjusting the pan on the slider so it keeps your subject in the center. There is no auto tracking feature but manually setting it is very doable.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Cut to B cam interviews just never work… but good info anyway. Thanks.
I feel you. Thank you
Plz respond- what tripod should i get with it
You can use a single heavy duty tripod but I’d recommend 2 light weight tripods. You can also use light stands. If you search heavy duty or lightweight tripod you will see some options. They all pretty much do the same exact thing and the difference is heavy duty can support 30lbs and light weight travel can support 7 lbs. just make sure you’re using 2 or have one on one side and resting the other side of the slider on something. Using 1 will cause problems eventually. Hope this helps
Bro thanks so much for the informative review! Been looking to add something like this to my set up and I'm thinking this might work perfectly. Sick video and dope editing btw too! 🔥
Thanks a lot homie 🙌🏽 I appreciate your feedback. This is definitely a game changer if you’re looking to up your production quality. Happy I was able to provide some valuable content. That’s what it’s all about when creating TH-cam videos 🙌🏽🥶
@@WilliamNevius100% couldn’t agree more! It looks easy enough to use too. The simplicity with the app is key. I have a Neewer key light so this would just be a nice addition to the app. Definitely a no brainer 👍
I subbed the other day and looking forward to viewing more content from you ▶️
Thanks again & Happy Holidays! 🎄
@WeeklyWrapUp I agree, when you have all things from one brand it makes life easier with one app. Neewer is a good choice since they make a good variety of products. Thanks for the sub!
I will be reviewing another slider soon that is a smaller and can be used with out an app fyi lol but honestly they all produce the same results. Happy holidays fam 🖤🖤
