Looking for slider suggestions - richparry - 2016-03-22

I have the eMotimo TB3 and Kessler Phillip Bloom 2 foot slider. I love the results I get but the slider is very heavy, nearly 20 lbs and it is too short for my needs. Here is a summary of my ideal slider:
  • 3-4 feet (1 meter)
  • Controlled by eMotimo TB3
  • Does not require assemble or once assembled can be carried in one hand
  • Lightweight (<8 lbs).
  • Available from a dealer within the US.
The Rhino EVO carbon fiber looks like a good solution, but I don't trust them, they have been promising this product for more than a half year.

The DP Stage 0 and Stage 1 is my second choice but they are either heavy or setup is awkward (IMO), I'd like something I don't have to assemble. Portability is not too important, I don't need to take it on a plane or hike miles with it. A slider I can grab from the back of my car would be great.

Got any suggestions?
