NEEWER 39.4”/100cm Motorized Camera Slider, App Wireless Control Carbon Fiber Dolly Rail Slider, Support Video Mode, Time Lapse Photography, Horizontal, Tracking and 120° Panoramic Shooting (ER1-100)

For a start this slider is very good value for the features it boasts. It comes with a battery, slider, carry bag battery charger and a range of cables to connect a camera. I got it to add a little interest to some shots for a social media advert I was shooting and it worked out a treat. It immediately connected to the app and once I tensioned the belt a bit it easily move my Z6ii with battery grip and 2470 lens. The simple but effective bar which controls pan motion is basic but functional and again it adds to the interest in what could otherwise have been a boring shot. I haven't used it for timelapse yet but the smooth flowing results I got using it for video have inspired me to try some timelapse too. Overall its not a full motion control system (which I really want) but it has interesting features and working within its limitations you can get really creative shots and add production value to videos and timelapses. Good value I would say and yes I would recommend it. One downside, I bought the remote to go with it and tried to connect it before I connected my phone, I could not for the life of me get the remote to work or even pair with the slider. I tried everything, so I am resigned to using my phone. A little disappointing but it does not by any means reduce my rating on this fine product.

Ive been after a decent motorised camera slider for sometime. I had another one but it wasn’t that great. But this one is fantastic and dose what I want it to do plus more. It fits into the neewer ecosystem with its app control. Where you can control everything. It comes with vast amount of cables so you can connect different types of cameras to it. I use it for video and photography Timelapse. It’s easy to use (one criticism. The app is a little confusing at first but this could be down to neewer only having one app for everything like sliders and lights ect.) but I think it’s build quality is really good and what is nice about this one is that it fits into its case assembled. I would recommend to anyone looking for a slider.

Sliders, drones, gimbals, dollies - whatever you use, smooth, stable, moving shots are now expected in every corporate video. Whether you believe it's an overused gimmick, or a great way to breath life into otherwise dull material, a slider of some description should be in every professional videographer's arsenal. I've had a number of sliders over the years, including fully manual, motorised and 'wing' sliders. They've all had their strengths and weaknesses. None of them, though, have equalled the balance of price and performance offered by this Neewer motorised slider. For the price it's outstanding. Sure, I would love an iFootage Shark Nano at several times the price, but I am absolutely not a brand snob and as the Neewer slider was in my range financially, it was a no-brainer to try it out. Build quality is fine, weight is fine, ease of assembly is fine. No complaints. I won't go into detail about what's in the box etc. Suffice to say there's everything you need to get up and running quickly. All you need to do is tighten up the belt (you'll need to go online to find a demo of how to do this as the manual is dreadful!), download the app, and you're ready to use the slider. I gave mine a baptism of fire by using it on an intense two day corporate interview shoot. I mounted a Panasonic GH5 with a 25mm Voigtlander Nokton f0.9 lens, plugged it into a USB charger and let it run almost non-stop on both days. I chose the 80cm slider over the longer lengths, purely because from experience I realised I simply never used the full length of the previous sliders. In fact, had Neewer offered a (cheaper) 50 or 60cm version, I would have opted for that. If ever they bring one out I will very likely buy it and sell this one. Or have two :-). I didn't buy the stabiliser arms (overpriced at £70) but I found I didn't need them. I used two mic stands, which were just about stable enough. I'll use two small tripods in future, or possibly a couple of light stands. That's my project for the weekend - to find the lightest and smallest stable support for the slider. The footage is buttery smooth (at the slow speeds I am using it at) - including the end points and reversal, and the unit is near silent. The ability to establish a point of focus and, in effect, introduce parallax into a shot, is great. Very simple to set up, although there's not much in the way of fine tuning. Complaints are few, but there are a couple: The biggest is the manual. It is rubbish. Tiny print with very little useful information. My advice is to check some of the useful videos on YouTube. I don't have the manual in front of me but I think the instructions for how to change between panormaic and focussed shots are the wrong way round. I may be wrong, though. Either way, the dreadful manual loses half a star. The ball head is fiddly and not the best quality. It does the job for level shots, but I wouldn't mount a heavier lens or camera and certainly wouldn't try and clever angles. Another half star lost. The case is a bit naff - but it's functional, so no stars lost for that. I was disappointed to find the price had dropped by £66 just a few days after my purchase and I did consider sending it back and buying it again. Sadly, though, I needed it for a shoot and didn't want to risk it. Overall, then, for my application, which is to use it professionally for interviews, product shots etc this is an outstandingly good value slider. I highly recommend it, if you don't have the budget for the Shark Nano, that is . . .

Excellent, good quality, value for money.

It doesn't run smoothly, it's a bit jerky and makes a clicking noise so is useless for recording the audio whilst recording video

Item is fiddly to setup, I had to order 2 stand adaptors so that I could easily mount and dismount it from the lighting stands without having to unscrew the stands every time. Also the app keeps disconnecting after every pass - and haven't been able to get this to work properly at all - Thought it would make getting panning shots more stable and professional - but I think the gimbal is sufficient for my needs and once set-up, quicker than setting this up. Also mounted on lighting stands - it really needs the extra optional support legs to it any where near stable - which would further increase the set-up time to use this thing.

I bought this mainly for use in video shoots, it is superb, smooth, silent motion, lots of options for different methods and angles, really gives your videos a cinematic feel, and I think this is important if you are an amateur, It looks like professional kit, which gives reassurance to your clients

Great stuff

Faccio timelapse per lavoro da anni e sono soddisfattissimo di questo dolly, prima ne usavo uno auto costruito ma era abbastanza pesante. E' quasi un anno che lavoro con questo e l'unica pecca riscontrata è stata la boccola di innesto a jack del cavetto che si collega alla fotocamera, dopo qualche mese non faceva più contatto impedendomi il funzionamento sincronizzato della fotocamera. Ho risolto installando una seconda presa e collegandola all'interno al circuito esistente. Mi rendo conto che non è semplice per tutti ma questa soluzione mi ha permesso di risolvere. Per il resto niente da dire.

Works like a sharm

Autant investir une bonne fois pour toute dans du solide. Ce trépied en acier inoxydable change des modèles en alu qui tiennent à peine quelques utilisations. La construction est vraiment robuste, les ressorts sécurisent bien la descente, et la stabilité est au rendez-vous. Je l’utilise avec un Godox ML60, mais je sais qu’il peut largement supporter du matériel plus lourd. Une vraie base fiable pour un setup pro ou semi-pro.

120 cm ممتاز جدا تحرك سلس وثابت تحكم عبر التطبيق أو الريموت لا يوجد أزرار مدمجة على السلايدر أنصح باستخدام الأذرع المثبتة للجوانب -غير مرفقة- لتفادي الميلان بسبب الطول أو تثبيته على حوامل ثلاثية متينه

Ho preso il binario da 120 perché con ottimo sconto . Confezione curata e molto leggera per il trasporto . C’è app dedicata Neweer e possibilità di usare anche il telecomando (un po’ macchinoso) Per il resto fa’ il suo dovere . Tenete conto che il peso della batteria e del motore richiedono bracci (opzionali) di stabilizzazione se si usa un treppiede . Consigliato
