Travel is shorter than the rail, and the rail is what you carry · review
A 27-inch motorized slider with time-lapse, video and round-trip modes and a wired controller, for about $179.
A motor gives even moves.
Time-lapse, video, round trip.
Vertical and 70° climbs.
The NEEWER ER1 adds an app and a battery.
Level the slider first, then support it at both ends on two light stands or a tripod and the included feet. Move the carriage at an even speed, start and stop gently, and use a light camera and lens: the less weight on the carriage, the smoother the move.
Video mode moves the camera at a steady speed for B-roll. Time-lapse mode steps the camera between frames for slow, smooth motion over minutes or hours. Round trip sends it back and forth automatically.
GVM says the slider can climb a 70° slope on a tripod without the camera falling off, which allows rising and falling shots.
