Review on YC Onion Motorized Compatible Stabilizer Camera & Photo by Justin Herman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing little slider. Fantastic quality, flawless design.

Combine with a compact ball head to capture truly beautiful film footage. The center brace has two 1/4-20 and two 3/8-24 mounting holes, with one of the 3/8-24 holes being the dead center. You can mount it on a tripod and take cool shots. Each end bracket, like the bottom bracket, has multiple mounting holes. The carriage has two threaded holes 1/4-20 and 3/8-24 and a 1/4-20 screw in the center with a rubber pad. . If I could change one thing, it's the slide lock - it's metal and is pressed against a carbon fiber rod. I wish it had a rubber pad so it requires less pressure. The sled is so good that I will use it for a homemade slider that I am building. There are two feet at each end of the device, each with rubber ball feet. These legs can be screwed in and out an inch and locked. The angle of the legs can be adjusted, but you'll need to hand-tighten the hex screw (wrench included) to ensure it locks into place - otherwise it'll wobble a little, especially when the legs are pointing straight down. This is because the legs are held in place by tension except when fully open. Also included: two hex keys, cell phone holder (all plastic), thread adapter, soft carrying case.
