Review on GVM Great Video Maker Motorized Camera Slider: Next-Level Video Shooting with Time-Lapse Functionality for Interviews, Films, and Photography by Bruce Marable

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad for the price.

Let's start with the positives: This slider is lightweight and well made. He feels very strong. This is a great option for adding movement to a b-roll or second camera interview. I love that you can set endpoints for each direction so your object is framed the way you want it. In addition, it is very cheap compared to other sliders with its features. The downside is that the timelapse control interface is very confusing. Now I have a pen, but it's not intuitive. I would like the motor to run a little slower. It seems fast even on the slowest settings. The engine is also noisy. The audio recorded by the camera set on the slider can only be used for reference. My biggest problem is that the slider was sent to me with a broken charger. I swapped out the battery to see if that was the problem, but it turned out to be the charger. I have sent an email to GVM customer support but have not yet received a reply.
