GVM 48"/120CM Motorized Camera Slider - Automatic Round Trip, Time Lapse & Panoramic Shooting | Smooth Stable Video Capture with Battery | Perfect for Vlogging, YouTube Videos & Professional Photography

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING RESULTS....!! Near SILENT motor, goes from ZERO speed to 60 m.p.h so perfect for ANY stylish movement shots. NOTHING gets in the way of the most outstanding quality tracking, dolly and/or JIB shots.Mount it horizontally on a tripod, adjust the 'center' rail (provides the perfect 'tracking target' lock) at both ends, mount your camera, adjust your wired-remote (provided) for the start and end points, hit 'record' and film your subject. You'll be AMAZED at how good and professional and advanced your results look.Add immeasurably MORE to your video work by producing more dynamic, more interesting and visually stimulating material. THREE motion settings (use the center rail and STUDY THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING);1. SIDE TO SIDE (parallel) tracking gives you equal L-to-R-to-L (endless) dolly shots across the field of vision.2. PANORAMIC; set the camera head/ball-joint correctly (and set the center rail) and you'll get the 'tennis court' effect... a WIDE left-to-right Panorama - think, tennis court watching both players at both ends AND the spectators across the whole stadium3. CENTER FOCUS (and here's the slider's REAL MAGIC).... center your subject (think talkin-head interviewee, or classical guitarist seated still on a chair) .... set the center rail extreme opposites at both ends; set the camera correctly; frame your shot; set the slider's travel distance (and speed); press 'record' and watch the resultant footage LEAP to life as the background subtly 'travels' around your subject as the camera travels 'around' the face, guitar, flower vase, whatever.... throw the lens into the right depth of field and push the background out of focus.... SPEILBERG....!!Do any/all of these AND have the slider run back and forward, side to side (or up and down for AMAZING JIB SHOTS) for AS LONG AS YOU WANT! Unit runs off included battery OR mains electricity (via included DC converter).. This thing does it ALL, and brilliantly. I have 4 of these now.JIB SHOTS...?? YES, as good as it gets, this STILL isn't the best bit. Put your slider vertical (on a tripod, attached firmly against a wall) and mount your camera at 90-degrees and watch as the slider effortlessly propels your viewpoint UP and DOWN at whatEVER speed you need, capturing filmic JIB SHOTS just like the pros.. Further; if you don't want to 'zoom' in/out your shots (using the camera's wide-telephoto rocker switch, or in post-production (costing you pixelation!)), just set this beautiful machine at right-angles (90-degrees) to your subject, aim the camera straight at him/her/it, hit record and watch your footage slide effortlessly toward/away from you to your heart's content.Cannot recommend this highly enough.NOTE: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS as to how to program the motor's movement. There is a SPECIFIC order to do it. Loads of (some good, some terrible) videos on YouTube, but the INSTRUCTIONS are EXACT.For MOVEMENT shots (detailed above); Make SURE your camera is secured to the ball-head AND screwed tightly (with the RED thumbscrew on the camera platform) at ONE far end of the slider or the other... THEN switch the wired remote controller ON. Only THEN loosen the camera platform with the RED thumbscrew.Select SETTINGS. Select START POINT. press Left or Right arrow to begin the slider's movement AWAY from the closest 'end' (of the slider). If you want maximum travel (and who doesn't?!), press the STOP/center button almost immediately. Press the CENTER button for 1/2 second. You'll see the 'numeric code' harmonize (there's two of them). Press the CENTER button AGAIN for a few seconds until the screen returns to the main settings menu page. THEN, using the down arrow, select END POINT, press the direction arrow TOWARDS the far/other end of the slider and watch/wait as the slider travels to the furthest point. TIP: don't go ALL the way to the end, leave about 2" for the platform to slow/settle/stop. THEN, press the CENTER button; the numeric code will harmonize. Press the CENTER button again for a few seconds (to register the position). THEN, using the down arrow, select NO/Reset. This solidifies the two 'end' points (of the slider's travel). THEN, choose your speed (using the UP/DOWN arrow controls.) I have found somewhere between 50-75% is the most effective for filmic effect. Slower or faster may be dragging/distracting but YOU are the director, so go ahead until you find the best speed for the scene.When you're ready to film, press RECORD on your camera then 'launch' the slider into action using the correct directional ARROW button (depending on where your camera platform is situated along the slider's length/rails.NOTE: If you mess up your programming; HOLD your camera with one hand (or LOCK the platform with the RED thumbscrew), switch OFF the wired remote programmer, and START AGAIN. You'll get quicker with practice but DO NOT TRY TO RE-PROGRAM the remote. It remembers it's previous settings so you MUST SWITCH OFF, and ON again, for a fresh start.
