oh hey say with me zapman
micro 2 equals 2 tasty beer Oh in my
last video I really wanted to step up
the game I really wanted to step it up
so I was using a slider I wanted to get
those very highly cinematic commercial
looking like professional shots sure I
could have done it handheld but that's
not the same so I was using a slider and
I have such a slider here I'm gonna show
you what it is I'm gonna show you what
it can do I'm gonna show you how to use
it what you can achieve with it all the
details you know I'm very detailed at
least you tell me that in a comments so
today's video is not a sponsored one
however they did send the product here
forever

if you are new here welcome my name is
sustain kadar WA if you are into
photo/video tech reviews and creative
Khmer challenges you might consider
clicking that subscribe button first of
all I rap from his FM and contacted me a
while ago a while back offering me this
letter for a review and I turn them down
because I thought I have a study hands I
have a tripod I have a gimbal I have all
that I don't really need one and then I
was planning a whole bunch of highly
creative shoes for you guys to show you
an inventor throughout the winter like a
box or hockey play a makeup artist
eyelash company hip hop dance a
restaurant
bartender there's lots coming up and
then I realized wait a second how am I
gonna get those really steady very close
shots of eyelashes being put on the ice
how am I gonna get those very steady
close-up shots of makeup artists
applying the eyeshadow on the ice yeah
then I realized I actually might need a
slider there are many different sliders
out there you can choose from so many
products some of them are very big you
need sometimes even two tripods they are
hard to store they're hard to take from
place to place and there are some
motorized ones but that's a whole
different ball game
they are high-end but also there might
be a little bit more expensive so this
one is quite different as the title
already suggests micro - it is a small
lightweight affordable easy for
transport slider timeless why it is all
manual there is no battery you need to
worry about there is no firmware update
needed there are no electronics also
perfect for beginners let's unbox this
thing already and set it up the first
box here has micro 2 rails slider itself
it is 33 centimeters or 13 inches long
it weighs 1.1 kilograms or 2 point 43
pounds and you can put on it up to
impressive 5 kilograms or 11 pounds but
you will also find in a box is user
manual warranty card carry case quick
wrench and 1/4 to 3/8
screws let me show you how you can
attach those two parts together first
you need to remove this quick release by
simply releasing it right here take it
off
next you have this knob which you will
turn around as you are attaching it to
the slider right here once you have it
nice and tightened you can attach the
quick release back if you want to if you
don't want to you don't have to but I
want to because I don't want to lose it
so I'm gonna put it nicely back again
and by the way these likes are
adjustable by simply turning them you
can make them longer higher or shorter
let's look at the slider closely there
are two locks in the middle which keep
the slider from moving that way it is
just easy to move it around or carry it
in the back when you press the locks in
it it will unlock and you are ready to
use the slider the slider is only 33
centimeters or 13 inches long by the
when it extends to the side you are
getting 54 centimeters or 21 inches that
is great for such a small slider let's
look at the second box here is EZ lock -
low profile what you will find inside is
EZ lock to profile mount ball had user
manual warranty card quick wrench cord
3/8 screw the weight of this part is 570
grams or 1.2 pounds and safety capacity
is 15 kilograms or 33 point 11 pounds
the ball hat can turn your camera in any
direction here is very attached to your
camera and here is where you attach it
to slider to mount it on a tripod is
super easy I'll just take it off attach
it right here and when I need it on a
tripod snap the whole part in I have to
use sandbag to make sure it's not going
to flip over because my tripod is very
light to show you how it works I'm just
gonna set it here on a table
once you unlock the slider and start
moving it to the side and once again you
will see that the total travel distance
is 54 centimeters or 21 inches as it
expands the speed is a very even with
damping you can go very slow or you can
go faster you control your own speed
let's go ahead and let me show you some
cool moves so you can do with this setup
let me show you how you can actually
improve your footage whether you aren't
filming at 24 frames per second in real
speed or if you are filming in a slower
motion like 60 frames per second and you
want those really high-end professional
looking like super steady smooth tasty
shots first one is a side move here is a
handheld shot in the real speed this is
the best I can do to have a nice a
steady shot here is the same shot with
the slider do you see the difference you
look at the nicest footage if you are
using some sort of foreground especially
if you are using wide-angle lens
otherwise the move won't be visible the
best lens is to use with sliders are
usually telephoto or some closer lenses
forwards and backwards slowly pushing in
or slowly backing off don't be afraid to
even use manual focus and start with the
blurry shot slowly sharpening the object
or vice versa third one is here when you
attach your slider to a tripod you can
also do up and down shots again make
sure your tripod is super sturdy and
heavy if it's not just make sure you add
weight at the bottom so it doesn't tip
over and the last very cool creative
shots are when you lift one side of the
slider and then go sideways or forward
and back you can actually leave the
camera on the top and let it slide on
its own you don't even have to hold it
if you don't mind that speed you can
just let it go on its own and the
possibilities are endless this is
perfect for beaners because there is no
motor there is no confusion there you
just put that camera on e to start
sliding very easy to use this is also
perfect
for experienced videographer if you need
something which is compact you can take
it with you on different locations I can
see that being used quite a bit this
will be perfect for some bar someone who
doesn't have a gimbal yet this can
definitely improve your shots
besides handheld shots or you can get it
even though you already have gimbal
because it's just different things in
different effects I will for sure use it
lots when I am actually showing products
I'm talking about so normally I would
just put it on a on a tripod and do some
kind of moves like that but this will
drastically improve those shots for sure
also like I mentioned you know those
close-up shots somebody doing something
like the makeup part is applying
eyeshadows you can absolutely use it for
anything if you want to check the
