I know it is not a slider but you guys might be interested in my new rig called the SM-1. It is a shoulder rig and table top dolly combined.

Also, I noticed there isnt any eye-light in Nicholson's eyes…which is used to make the actor look more alive/animated

Thank you so much! This page has been a great help. I have been trying to compare lot of these side by side and just putting everything on one page just saved me days of internet :)

I was really looking to find drag control option - but seems like that is out of my price range. At least I found out quickly :)

I sympathize with the naming confusion! When I started working here we had just changed the naming system and I was getting them mixed up all the time, lol. What was a great slider evaluation is now even better ;)

Hi Brett, long time reader, first time poster here! I'm currently trying to improve my own DSLR skills, and I'm finding your cinematography blogs super helpful!

I've already noticed a marked improvement in my filming techniques, pretty soon I'll be writing my own blog I think! Lol!!

Anyway, just wanted to say to keep up the good work, and I eagerly anticipate week 4!!

I think I'll be buying the Dynamic Perception Slider. I shoot interiors and architecture mainly and would love to start doing some video.

Check this out.

Thanks mate - I can only hope everyone finds my summary as useful as you have.

Re: Best Slider for DSLR Video

Brett — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 00:04:23 -0000

Thanks Luke! I think I based that comment on a review of the Pegasus before it was carbon fiber. I know Cinevate renamed a few of its products so maybe that was where the confusion came from. I had a quick look into it and struggled to find any information on how much noise is generated from the Pegasus - which probably suggests that it is in fact, as you said, very quiet. I have amended the above summary accordingly. Thanks again.

Hey Brett,
This is a great, comprehensive overview of sliders. I wanted to ask about the Pegasus remarks though, as I think you may have mixed it up with the Atlas 30 or 200. The Pegasus Carbon system shown weighs in at 7 lbs and is actually almost silent. The Atlas 30 and 200 sliders run on solid steel rails, making them much heavier than the Pegasus slider which runs on carbon. The Atlas 30 and 200 also use linear bearings, combined with the steel rails it turns out to be an extremely smooth but also a tad noisier than other sliders. Hope this helps clarify any confusion. Keep up the good work!

Luke

wow this looks mad...that would be really handy to have on set with an ipad. You could have your scripts, storyboards, production schedules, and now everything that the tool offers in one spot...a virtual clipboard. Sick!

An absolutely spellbinding review. This is more than any customer looking to buy a DSLR could hope for. A complete compendium of all the relevant information out there, compiled into a concise and well written article. It is so easily navigable, and the reader is left with all the tools necessary to make an informed choice that they will not regret.

My thanks to you Brett, I would certainly recommend your advice to others, and use this article in buying my next DSLR slider!
