This is my first post here but have been reading the forum for a while, particularly on the same topic as this. And I know that this same question have been asked before.
I am looking to get into motion based timelapse photography and have been looking at various different motion slider bundles. I have narrowed down my search to two,
- eMotimo spectrum st4 with iFootage Shark Slider S1 bundle ($3K from eMotimo)
- Dynamic Perception Sapphire Pro Ultimate Trekker bundle with Stage One Plus slider ($2.5K from DP)
I would like to use my motion system with some sort of ramping (either RamperPro3 or qDSLRDashboard) and both of these devices can take external trigger/act as slaves.
Sapphire Pro seems to be lighter but both claim to support upto 15lbs. One thing I noticed about Sapphire Pro is that camera will be away from rotation axis for pan, making the head almost useless for panorama photography. Whereas st4 comes with pano mode. Shark slider also comes with 20" extension. Both of these system have pros/cons over the other and I am absolutely confused.
So those who own any of these bundles, how do you like the bundle? Do you use them with ramping devices/softwares? Comments on built quality? Firmware updates? Easy enough to carry?
Thank you in advance.
