Re: DP Sliders Revisited
Great blog / video. Still looking to add a slider to our gear. We shoot with HMC150s, are any / all of the DP Sliders capable of that weight?

How do you handle travel fees?
Do you charge a flat fee for weddings more than X miles away? or do you charge by the mile? Or do you quote on a case-by-case basis?
