Slider question
I'm looking to invest in a Glidetrack, or similair device...
I've read some goods and bads for most of these systems.. Here's my scenario. I'm primarily doing wedding videography (single shooter). I'm thinking of taking on a second shooter, and adding the Glidetrack to the arsenal of tools needed for montazes, intros etc..... Question: Is anybody using these devices with stock lenses and 30P,60i framerates?? I'm afraid of buying a product, and realizing that i should've budgeted for a 35mm adapter. It's great to watch the demos for slider products, but most of the demos seem to be shot with adapters, with "making the sale" in mind.... Thanx.... |

I make these sliders and I have some video on the bottom of this page:
Reasonable Priced Sliders . Westside A V Studios And there are a few more on another page linked from the one above. All those are shot with Sony EX1 and EX3 and a 5DmkII. The river shot is the 5D. The others are just standard lenses on the XDcams. These sliders work very well with Sony Canon JVC or Panasonic standard lenses.

even thought i sell sliders, i would recommend that you invest your money in getting a 7d or 5d first instead of a 35mm adapter. imho a dslr will make more of an impact to your final product than any slider.
