I own the 4' version of this one Reasonable Priced Sliders . Westside A V Studios which is made by a DVInfo member/sponsor. I've been very pleased with it.

Hey Steve,

i have heard good reviews about this,

Did you get stung with shipping charges at all? import Tax/duty?

many of my friends got stung bad with it.

Thanks

Steve, Can you use this Konova slider with the Sony Z5 camcorder?

Hi. Yes I think you could! Beware though the bearings have a little noise! Only slight and you can't hear over talking or music, but a quiet clip you could hear.

I just got this one as well. used it twice, but fantastic so far. NO shipping on mine. $329 to the US in 7 days. amazing.

Thanks Steve, a bit concern now about the noise.

Steve Bleasdale · June 14th, 2011, 06:03 AM

Its nothing major, but I presume a clip with no talking and no music would be a very very slight problem with the bearing roll, as I say I only slide with the music or talking over so its not a problem.

+1 on the Konova slider. Haven't noticed the noise when using mine.

Nigel Barker · June 16th, 2011, 03:07 AM

I just ordered one of these so if it isn't as good as you guys claim I will be blaming you:-) I was considering another Gliderack Hybrid but the Konova is half the price so worth a punt.

Steve Bleasdale · June 16th, 2011, 04:15 AM

Well worth it Nigel, I use it all the time now even in church during ceremony its that light to move around, you will need a tripod head with a 3/8 female thread to go the plate.

Stelios Christofides · June 16th, 2011, 11:05 AM

Steve what length did you get?

Steve Bleasdale · June 17th, 2011, 04:40 PM

The standard one just short of the metre one!! Its great! Don't pay extra for the metre one unless you really need it? Cheers Stelios... Steve

Steve Bleasdale · June 18th, 2011, 03:58 AM
