Bumpy Konova Slider
Hi guys, my Konova slider starts getting a bit bumpy, anyone experience the same issue? And how to fix it?
I tried to clean all the parts inside but didn't help. Aghhh..... |
Re: Bumpy Konova Slider
bumpy during the slides are bumpy because of the carriage itself? I know my konova slider is a little bit bumpy because of the carriage. I don't know why people endorse it so much. I'm starting to like this slider less and less every day.

I know this is a few months late, but just so anyone reads this thread, I'd like to help.
Last night, I realised my slider was bumpy after renting it out to my friends many times. I tried the oil sil, and it didn't work. So i thought of cleaning up the sliding rail itself. That didn't work either. I then opened up one end of the slider, slid the carriage out, and realised there was a lot of gunk at the, you wouldn't guess it, BOTTOM of the carriage wheels. A quick clean, and a quick tightening of the carriage tension (only because I upgraded my camera and my setup got heavier / had more inertia), and then everything worked fine once again. So there, if anyone has this issue with Konova or konova-ish type sliders (i think varavon sliders are similar), then perhaps this might help. Cheers, Zexun |

Great info. Thanks for sharing. I've only had my Konova K3 for a few days but have been pretty impressed with its build quality and noise levels.
