Pete I get the same shots with my slider but with my fluid head loose to move on a curve.

Better off buying a steadicam tbh ... can do the same motion and stabilize in post if neccessary.

Peter, I guess one thing that turns me off this is that I wouldn't want to be limited to doing subject-tracking shots. Quite often you do just want a straight slide.
Incidentally, Red Rock also have a curved slider, and I think Kessler have a device attaching to the slider with the same effect. Personally, I'm waiting for Edelkrone's "target module". |

Re: Curved slider anyone?
Peter, another thought on this slider -- is it too long for convenient wedding use? I've got my suspicions that 80cm when centre-mounted on a tripod, takes you into see-saw territory. In the video, it may be that the operator is supporting one end of the tripod with a hand whilst the other hand pushes the camera.
But one big plus of this slider -- no need to pull focus while you slide. Whereas when you slide while panning on a detail shot on a traditional slider, the object starts far from you, moves close, then backs off again -- not straightforward to pull focus. |
