Kamera Slide - $150

[Jim Retar]

I just had my Kamera slider delivered and gave it a quick test (it needs some oil, but was quite smooth even without). For the price, (around $150).. this thing is great.

Here is the rough test, shot on a Nikon D5000 (for some reason, the site is squashing the video, but you'll get the idea)

I will go and film some cooler stuff tomorrow and report back.

How sturdy is it? Looks like it's bending in that photo... :laugh:

[Jim Retar]

haha yea... if I had a RED with me, i'd tell you if it bent! Unfortunately I only have a d5000 with me right now, which is lightweight, to say the least.

Feels like it could take a decent amount of weight though.

I've used this before with the RED. We had to stand it up between two tripods. It worked but was tough to handle 25lbs or so.

Justin, good to know! Did you use a fluid head that came with the slider?

Best,
