Re: Help with descent slider
rather than start my own thread, i'll add to the conversation.
I am also looking for a slider for my xh-a1. But im a cheapo when it come to this since it is simply a hobby. So, anyone have experience with the Opteka sliders? I've heard they are good for the price. Opteka GLD-400 47" Camera Track Slider Video Stabilization System | eBay Also, what size is appropriate? I think i would disappointed with a 24". And finally, any worries with using such a heavy camera on a slider, on a tripod?

Re: Help with descent slider
I recently got this.
SlyderDolly - Portable Linear Tracking Solution :: Digital Juice I am very pleased with it so far. If I had a complaint it would be the noise from the metal to metal contact from the wheels. |

Re: Help with descent slider
Hi Michael,
You said that you are happy with the slider however not the noise?? Doesen't the mic pick up the noise from the wheels of the slider?

Re: Help with descent slider
Not always does the mic pic up the noise. If using on board mic or shotgun mounted on the camera, it will pick up noise if you are doing a fast dolly. If you are going slow, you have a very good chance of getting clean audio. I use a shotgun mounted on a stand or boom pole when audio is critical. I suppose it really depends what you tend to use the dolly for. I do love the portability.

Re: Help with descent slider
I use my Canon XF300 on an Igus-based slider with the new Hybrid carriage on a tripod with no problems..
