Glide Gear sliders?

[awesomes8wc3]

I have been looking for a decent camera slider that doesn't cost >$300 for a while now and I found Blunty3000's review on GlideGear DEV-1000.

He seems pretty positive about it and the comments section isn't full of "THIS IS SHIT". Has anyone had experience with these? If so are they any good or am I just wasting my time?

 

 

$89 for the DEV-1000 or $99 for the DEV-33. If so, whats the difference?

its very meh, a decent budget offering but honestly its not amazing

 

I am using a koolertron one (basically the same thing though even cheaper) and it uses the same friction system, but honestly you want ball bearing or belt driven for utter smoothness, 

 

that said, for the cost, its not a bad thing, and will get some decent results with some practice and patience

Idk, I might just save up for a Konova after all.

I sit in middle ground, with the Kamerar. They make very well built stuff at moderate prices, I use their TK-3 DSLR cage as well.

I'm sure the $400 options are much better, so if you can save (and use a slider a lot) you probably won't regret it.

you should make one using some 8020 1020 aluminum stock. You can get a nice linear bearing for it and you have VERY good slider for less than $100.

$1400 for just the slider!

I wouldn't be surprised if its not any better than the regular $600 PocketDolly . It's probably light as hell though because of the carbon fiber.

It is the same results just lighter like you said. So your paying $800 for less weight..
