Please recommend a short portable motorized slider ...

Was thinking if this is really cheap no harm getting one bcos this panning head is convenient, no need to charge battery and also no need to sync with iPhones ...

Also, was wondering, why that website list their product but do not list the price ... kinda weird ...

Cheers

Bro, I think this one has internal battery, still need to charge right?

My guess is maybe cos they don't want to set MSRP, can let their resellers sell at whatever pricing they want.

Anyway, this kinda china product, SOP is to simply check the usual suspects like aliexpress/ebay/taobao for pricing.

Found it on ebay for US$75...

Oh yeah, just realised this one has battery. I thought this was the the heavy duty version of camalapse ...

OIC, so they don't sell directly to customers ... only thru resellers ... thanks

It's great for small set up. But if the weight increases, it's not gg to be smooth...

Ok bro, just finished testing the myrica. Works on the GX8.

But I don't know why during the last cycle of test, there was screeching sound as the slider move ... but it still move ok lah ...

"Things" discovered during test:

In order to work properly, before starting, set the speed knob (i say from 0 to 10) to zero and place the left-right switch to middle.

Somehow the slider doesn't move if you turn the knob speed below 5.

The results of the test:

Set 1: Pause 4 sec, move 2 sec, Speed knob=5, travel time = 21 mins 35 secs, #shots = 165

Set 2: Pause 5 sec, move 3 sec, Speed knob=5, travel time = 18 mins 55 secs, #shots = 215

Set 3: Pause 5 sec, move 1 sec, Speed knob=8, travel time = 26 mins 20 secs, #shots = 265

Set 4: Pause 5 sec, move 1 sec, Speed knob=6, travel time = 36 mins 17 secs, #shots = 380
