- Update from iFootage:
"As you may have seen from our socials - we have regrettably had to increase the price of the Nano as a result of materials and components also increasing in price. The updated prices are as follows:
iFootage Shark Slider Nano Standard: $559 USD
iFootage Shark Slider Nano Bundle: $669 USD
These changes will take place from April 14th 2021 - with any orders placed until that point unaffected."
In this review, we are going to have a look at iFootage's latest motorised slider, Shark Slider Nano. I'll tell you what are the things I like (and really like!) about this slider, and a few things that I don't like about this slider.

Sorry about the really long review. I was originally aiming to create a 15 minutes long review but somehow it ends up being a 36 minute long review! (and i still skipped over a lot of features). Anyway, what do you guys think about this Shark Slider Nano? would you want one for yourself?
I prefer my Zeapon Micro 2 slider, as it can easily handle my 4.1kg rig in any position.
I *really* want this product. But but it costs $$$ so... I bought the Zecti slider to test to what extent I might get something out of using a slider. Depending on my experiences I might go for the Ifootage Shark Slider Nano some time later this year.
Took delivery of one today. Solid build, simple to use, great value for money. Very happy!
Enjoy it!!! :)
This slider looks very futuristic! And I'm still watching your review. haha thanks!
Thank you for watching Daniel!
Great video Richard! Had some issues with the slider and this video helped us out so much!
Kind Regards,
Andrei
Because of your review I have ordered using your discount code, thanks.
Hope you enjoy it Techtonic! Let me know what you think when you received the slider :)
@@TheRealRichardWong Can't wait to use it, I have to wait until January before it's delivered though 😢
@@Techtonicuk oh that wait is painful! especially with a Christmas/New year in between! but it's worth it!
Great review Richard. For a long time now I've been learning a great deal from your channel. I just picked up the slider. Great review you made here. My question is this. Can I tilt the head while it is sliding and panning. I've reached out to ifootage support several times over that last 2 weeks and they are absent. Please let me know.
Do you mean manually tilt it when the slider is moving? I was not told you can or can't, but I assume if you do it gently it should be ok?
Thanks well done
nice, u r using nikon too.. planning to buy that slider too. thanks for the review
Enjoy!
Xièxiè, dòjeh, brother Wong! So helpful! Thorough and complete video. Excellent!
I am grateful new subscriber. 💛🙏🏼
Awesome! Thank you Glen! :D Hope you will enjoy my other videos as well!
Excellent demonstration and evaluation, Richard. Seems like a really neat product.
Thank you for continuing to take such care in your reviews.
Thank you Clarke :)
Great review. Thank you ☺️
Thank you Barry!
Stunning slider, thanks for showing the functionality! GREAT!
Glad you like it!
I use my Shark Nano with a Sony A7s3. The shutter cable won't trigger the shutter in my camera for time lapses. Any suggestions for any Camera menu settings that will fix it?
My Shark Nano has suddenly developed jerks in it's movement. Any idea how to fix those?
Richard, I ust got my slider but can't figure this out. Is it possible to shoot an astrophotography timelapse? 20 second exposure, 1 second interval and so forth. Everything I've tried the slider moves during the shot?
Hi Ariel, from memory it allows that but I don't have the slider with me at the moment to check for you. Can I suggest you join their official user group on facebook as you should get an answer faster there than waiting for me to get back to you. facebook.com/groups/750508455511461/?ref=share
Hey, I believe travel distance is 40cm on tripod. Should be exactly double the distance that's in the ground.
hey Steven, hmm... what you said seems correct. but the figure i mentioned in the review is the information i received from iFootage.
@@TheRealRichardWong iFootage doesn't seem to be very clear on this. On one part of their website, they say 32cm, on another part they say 40cm...
Very good review! One thing though... it wasn't possible to hear the sound of the slider with your background music.
Thanks for the feedback and sorry about that! Will keep that in mind for my future videos
Hi Richard, do you know when they are shipping? I pre-ordered in November 2020 and still haven't had an email to say the order is ready.
Not sure. But let me check with them and get back to you!
@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks, I found out on their Facebook that they started shipping from the 16th of Jan, so hopefully I should get a dispatched email soon.
I was just about to reply to you! And looks like they just released a big firmware update too
@@TheRealRichardWong Ooh, faster calibration?
Yeah seems like it is optional now which is great. I think the compulsory calibration at startup was the biggest downside with original firmware
Thanks for creating this video. How loud is the motor in db? I am looking for a good motorised slider. I am looking for all 3 features in one slider. It should be as quiet as possible, can carry at least 5kg weight and I can use vertically. Any suggestions please?
I am not aware of any slider of this size that can handle 5kg vertically
@@TheRealRichardWong How much this can carry vertically?
I can't remember off the top of my head.. I think around 2-3 kg.. but I did mentioned it in this review so... :)
@@TheRealRichardWong Have you tried it on any telephoto lens? Do you get a smooth footage?
@@TheRealRichardWong Have you tried it on any telephoto lens? Do you get a smooth footage?
Hey nice review, but you say on a tripod travel is 32cm, yet every other video I have seen says 40cm?
hm i didn't measure it mysef but that's the figure I got from the official info pack i received from iFootage
@@TheRealRichardWong OK cool, just seen 40cm quoted several times thats all.
@@GKVideography yes some viewer also mentioned this. Probably the info i got was the wrong one? :/
Do you know if this slider works with the Canon M50. On their website it is not shown in the compatability list.
The slider works with any camera that doesn't exceed its payload limit. The only thing that may not work is the timelapse and stop motion feature that the slider may not be able to trigger the camera shutter.
@@TheRealRichardWong Thank you very much! Since I won't need the stop motion or timelapse, I might be fine!
Yes you definitely would be fine!
Btw remember if you like to order it now, you can use my 10% off discount code which will expire by the end of this month
Thanks fo this comprehensive review! Have you tried using the slider without the motor? Some motorised sliders don't let you use them manually, because the gear is locked to the motor, but this iFootage slider obviously lets you move it around. Is it smooth to use manually?
hi Colin, thank you! I believe you shouldn't do that with this slider too even though you could physically do that when you turned it off completely. No idea whether you would cost any damage if you do that, but in terms of is it smooth? i say it is OK, but it's definitely not a manual slider kind of smooth/has that fluid feel.
@@TheRealRichardWong Cheers for the reply Richard! That's good to know, thank you very much. This slider would be unbeatable at this price if it was also fully manual. Oh well!
no you can't use it manually.
How to update the slider software? I can't find anything. Timelapse feature doesn't work :( (cable L1 is connected to GH5)
Try half plugin the cable instead of fully like you normally would and see if it helps.
@@TheRealRichardWong Unfortunately, doesn't work. Do you have any idea how to update the firmware? I got that recommendation by iFootage by their support, but they didn't tell me how to do it... and now there's no answer from them
Edit: I tried again and it worked! You have half plug the cable that goes to the slider, not to the camera.
Thanks!
Did you planning a test of Nikon Z6 ll?
Hey Vladimir, I have done a video about z 6 II, almost finished editing, but probably not the video you were waiting for. Anyway, it should be done in a day or two!
great review, thanks
Thanks for watching Obed Brinkman!
Hey Rich! Drop me a text when you can! I've got a new iphone 12 mini (which I may compare against g100 as a vlog cam!) BUT I need your help with Lumix LIVE! Cheers Buddy
hey Ben, i just switched to another temp phone so can't find your details on this phone :( Msg or email me anyway you want so I can get back to you.. (or i have to wait until I get back my normal phone)
