iFootage Shark Slider Mini

Offline
#1 Agamemmnon
Hi everyone,

I am currently looking for timelapse motion control equipment and found the iFootage Shark Slider Mini with the Pan/Tilt Head Mini X2.
It seems quite travel friendly and compact.
But I don´t find many reviews or tests online (many sound more like marketing).

Has anybody in the forum experience with this slider and can share his/her thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
alex

I also have one. It's works great but down side is motor not strong enough to lift camera to steep angle.
It's very portable.

Hi all,

I'm interested in this kit as well. Any updates or fresh perspectives?

Does it play nice with LRTimelapse Pro? I have v2.5 but am thinking of adding a 3.0 to the family. I don't think there's a difference in MoCo interface but... correct me if wrong!

On the concern about motors not being strong enough for steep angles, I wonder if it's possible to jury rig a counterweight system? I got a weak DIY motor lifting vertically on my iFootage Shark S1 by crafting a makeshift "davit" out of spare camera rig bits, a pulley and a sack of lead fishing weights. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done!

Thanks for any further inputs on the Shark Slider Mini + Pan/Tilt head!
