Camera Sliders ?

[ShootallSkaters]

Anyone know's where i can get reasonably priced camera sliders here ? So far ive gone around and only cathay photo sells them. Currently my budget is around $300 or less. Much help appreciated !

konova from sg camera store. abit more than 300.

friction sliders suck balls. fyi.

Here we go, like what eleveninth said: Red Dot Photo (Singapore) - Products

S$300 will not get you a decent slider that won't really jerk. You can forget about DIY unless you're really good, and you can forget about glidetrack because those probably will last you a year or 10 shoots before the plastics wear out and you're left wobbly.

You can check out my video titled "Reunion" in the showcase subforum for examples of how I use the slider. I've got a review coming up, just haven't written it yet.

Cheers,

Thanks guys for the replies, I decided to go with the konova k5 c3 slider instead. RDP is selling them at 480. Soon I'll take it for a test drive and see how it goes !

There's a comment on cheesycam saying that when contacted, the people at Konova said "end march" on ebay, so if you're gonna try to get everything locally from RDP, assuming they're selling, I'd look at earliest mid-april to end-april.

they told me end Jan now end Feb. lol. so now end March eh?

edit: they = konova
