- Reunion, short film

[Headshotzx]

This year I was lucky to have bought my Konova K5 slider just a week before Chinese New Year and so I put it through its paces. I've got a review coming up if you guys are interested in that

So anyway, hope you enjoy this little short that I did.

Nice nice. Very entertaining and heartwarming. Your grandpa (correct me if I am wrong) seems to be the main character. I like the way he looks at the camera and pretend nothing is happening but going around getting ready for reunion dinner.

Great stuff and thank you for sharing.

Haha indeed he's the main character of the film. After all, he's stubborn and always has been preparing CNY reunion dinners solo for as long as I can remember. Thanks for your kind words!

Haha, thank you all for the comments

The slider is going for S$470 here : LINK to Red Dot Photo - Slider
It will also need a head, and I know Cheesycam (google the site) recommends the Weifeng 717AH for it, which can also be found here: LINK to Red Dot Photo - Video head

Hope it helps!

How do you think this slider compares to the indislider? In terms of pricing, the indislider seems somewhat cheaper but not too sure of the make and build...

 

[Headshotzx]

I have only ever compared it with three other sliders in the market. If the indisider is anywhere near or below the quality of the Glidetrack SD / HD series, then the konova absolutely trumps it.

the indislider cannot make it.
