I got my hands the new mini slider from Ifootage - Must admit im quite impressed with this piece of gear.
I like to have my gear as compact as possible, but with maximum creative output. This is easy to set up, intuitive and helps me make much better content.
Considering im a beginner filmmaker, I sell stock videos which gives me an excuse to film everything, really using all my gear at the same time as im building my stock footage portfolio.
With this slider, I can make so much more to add to my portfolios with the sliding and panning motions in both timelapses and footage.
Cant wait to make more with this!
Are you getting a slider like this, let me know. And if you have any questions, ask them in the comments, and ill get back to you.
Cheers for watching!

Considering getting a small slider?!
Really impressed and informed by both the slider and more so your video. So good 😊👍🏾
Hey Andy, that is awesome to hear! Glad you like it. A few more videos in the making now. phew, its been a while, but now back on the horse! Glad you stopped by, and cheers for watching :)
Awesome video Daniel, very compact. The overhead shot was my fav
Hey thanks Darryl - twas a bit of an experiment. Getting sandbags for my c-stand if im doing it again. And thats a big if!
Great review! I also watched the Andyax review, btw. I've got the same backpack and the slider arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to create timelapses with it.
Enjoy, its really great for that. Just remember to tighten the tracks before starting the lapse. Learn from one of my initial mistakes. Cheers for watching!
Very cool video, got a lot of ideas for my zeapon 3.
Youre welcome, and thank you! Sliders are fun!
Great video mate, definitely a cool product!
Thanks pal. Rock solid piece of gear - highly recommended!
Very nice video again!👍🏼 I really enjoy your timelapses they are amazing!
Thanks Johannes - its really cool to use smart tools like the slider to create even more interesting lapses. Cheers for watching :)
@@DanielBryn Yes the slider gives the shots the special and dynamic look which make them outstanding! 👌🏽
I am on May delivery list, I can't wait to have it! great review!
Hope youll enjoy it as much as I do. Its a good tool! Let me know what youll make with it, im curious to know
@@DanielBryn I have heard that for macro it is not quite recommended, although I have also seem pretty good close shots. The main purpose is to record wristwatch B-Roll takes, since I only have right now a turning plate and I would like move movement in my videos. I am just starting to add these type of B-roll takes, I got very bored of seeing just hands holding a watch in my videos, as many also do in this segment. Hope they will be on time with May deliveries! regards
@@ElGuardianDelTiempo Yep - it isnt designed for that, but you can still do it by "guiding" the sliding movement with your hand to avoid any jitters. Also remember to balance the camera on the tripod you are using. The ifootage instructions video shows you how. Takes a bit of practice and getting to know to find the sweetspot for filming closeups and macros, but I have no problem with it
Looks like a good slider! The one I have is huge :)
There he is, Dustin! It is a travellers dream slider. The fact that it has 2 built in motors makes it really exciting to use. Thanks for watching pal :) which one do you use?
@@DanielBryn It's a GVM slider, 31" (80CM). I like it but it's big.
Thanks for the Video!
No problem!
Thanks for nice explanation.
Youre welcome!
Cool video? Do you alway screw to mount the slider to your tripod or do xou hsve a qick release system?
Thanks Marco
Hey Marco, cheers for watching. I always screw it on, but its no hassle since its so small. The only thing you should always check on it is that the slide track is tightened (they have dedicated screws for that). It is a great slider!
Awesome product and great video!
Thanks Vlad - yep it is. Just made some cool macro video with it for my stock video portfolio. Good tool! Howsit going?
great video , but i could not find the slider .
everywhere is out of stock do u guys have it in stock in oslo i live in stockholm .
Hey Elbiad, thanks! I think its out of stock almost everywhere, which is understandable. Its a great product!
Hey, thank you for the video, I have two questions.
1. What's the newest firmware and how to update it?
2. Did you have any issues with wobbling when tightening didn't work while on a tripod?
thanks!!
the shot with c-stand is super creative! well done
by the way I've tried with tilting using fluid head while slider is working and it's working pretty good. Some idea to consider :)
Getting one
Cheers to your new slider then! It is really a good tool!!
Guess its coming in june:)
@@attilabagiproductions yikes! Thats a long way off. It is really popular, and for good reason
£619 in the UK ouch!
Can you tell us the name of the tripod that has the slider on it?
Hey there, it is a manfrotto aluminum. I cant remember what model exactly as ive sold it recently. Already have a carbon fibre tripod which suits my travel needs better. Cheers for watching!
Nice, but currently unavailable and no information on when back in stock.
I guess there is a shortage of camera gear all over nowadays
Hello Nice video. I saw you in the Andyax Channel. Gerald Undone mentions that in the loop mode when start and finish it swings a little, it's already fixed? Thank you!!
Hey Antonio - yes it used to swing a little, but they have been updating the firmware a few times since I used it. Im making a video where ill use it now, so ill make sure to check just that. Cheers buddy, and have a nice evening
Thank you @@DanielBryn, I'll. Continue the very good work!!!
This was awesome bro! Been looking at getting this for about a month or so now. What tripod legs and tripod head do you use with your shark nano slider?
Hey thats cool - ive been using a manfrotto tripod and head for my timelapses w the slider mainly. But any sturdy tripod goes. Cheers for watching!
I keep having problems with mine, now it doesn't even startup. There is little to no information online on how to fix problems with it. I am quite disappointed. Now I am sending it back to be fixed.
Hey Miguel, that sounds like a faulty product for sure. Sorry to hear that. Mine is working just fine, and keeps getting smoother with new firmware updates. From my experience ifootage has very good customer service. Hope it all works out for you
Did you have to stabilize your shots in post? I got one and it’s a bit unstable. You didn’t say anything negative.
Hey Sky Makai, did you tighten the tracks before operating? That can make it unstable. If you do makro shots, it can get a little shaky at the ends. That said, ifootage says in their instructional video it isnt for makro. Still I do a lot of makro with it, and its fine when you find the sweetspot of tracklenght and speed. On subjects further away I have no problems. Cheers!
I like you inverted videos. What mount setup are you using to invert the nano ?
Hey Paul, not sure if I recommend it, but its basically a C-stand with weights on. Then a clamp with threads to mount the slider. hehe, a bit risky right there, and just for fun!
Great video. Thank you for it. I bought the same slider. I need it mostly for macro fliming. Unfortunately it shakes even after calibrating. Pleaselmk if it`s possible to change something.
Hey there, and thanks! I know, it shakes for those macro shots unfortunately even after calibrating. I use it for timelapse and broll mostly so im good. It can improve if you balance the video head youre using. Tried that?
been testing mine for a week. jitters horribly with any full frame camera. almost usable with APSC and small prime lens or iphone. sending it back. yes very quiet, easy set up and portable but worthless footage unless you stabilize in post.
Hey there - that sucks! I jave some jitters on mine also, but got better when I balanced the camera and used wider lenses (up to 50mm). For timelapse though, its great, but I hear you and ive seen that comment a lot. If they could fix this, it would be a really awesome product
Credible, use case review. Unless I missed it, is the slider weather resistant?
Thanks Paul - the upside down was a bit of an experiment tbh. And im not sure about weather resistant, but it feels and looks solid enough. I had it out on a few rainy sessions. Nothing heavy, but I wouldnt be put off with a few drops. Heavy rain, i dont know, then itd probably be better to shoot handheld anyways. Cheers for watching and have a good weekend!
Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing your thoughts about this slider. on which stock platforms I can see your work?
I am on Blackbox and Keycut stock. Thanks for watching
I'm really struggling to find a tripod that can hold this heavy slider. Is there one that you use or recommend?
Hey Ykeys - do you mean the Shark Nano? In that case, most tripods handle it very well. There are some links in the description to the ones i use that go with this slider. Cheers for watching!
@@DanielBryn Hey Dan! Thank you for your reply! Yeah it's the shark slider nano! I couldn't find the links for some reason :(
I tried to get a budget friendly neewer one but it was so crappy and thr knob to tighten the bottom plate was getting in the way of the slider :(
@@YkeysWorship same here, I have a neewer and a another tripod and none of them works with the shark nano, it ends up falling a bit on side because of the weight
@@CultureJapon I actually got the gazelle uprise TA6S and it works well! I contacted the customer service and they recommended this and it holds it really well!
@@YkeysWorship thanks🥰 I gonna check that
Great video - what is the best tripod to use for the i footage nano slider ?
Any sturdy one. preferably one you can attach weights to for stability
@@DanielBryn I looked on the i footage page and they showed a Gazelle TA5 with it ! Wasn’t sure so got the TA6S what ever that means !? Anyways I travel a lot so the fastbowl wasn’t an option
@@morchangstudios Ive been looking at the gazelle tripods myself. They look good! Id go for the smaller one since youre a traveller like me. The one in the video is a manfrotto. Very sturdy, very bulky, but I travel with a carbondfibre Leofoto pod now. Works just as well
@@DanielBryn great thanks - keep up the good work !
@@DanielBryn TA6S balances just fine with GH5S so all good
Hi Daniel , It seems to me that the videos you shot had a lot of jitter. A problem witch a lot of people seem to have with the slider nano. Does it always do that in video mode? Thanks for the review :)
Mister Please - like the nick! I wouldnt say a lot. It depends on the lens, and how well balanced the head is. I got a video head after i made this video, and it is better now. There seems to be a sweet spot between how fast and how far ypu set the travel length. But it does jitter slightly at the start and end. Ifootage says its not meant for macro shots either, if you have that in mind and zoom out, its not as evident. Must say I love it for the timelapsing I do. Cheers for watching! Are you looking at getting one?
@@DanielBryn Thanks for the reaction.. appreciated. Really enjoyed your review by the way. Beautiful Timelapse's. Its nice to hear your experience with the slider, thanks for the tips. I ordered one in the beginning of the launch , and I am still waiting for it to arrive. But I heard from multiple people that the jitter was a problem. Some say it is easy to fix in post. Guess I will have to see when I get it.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply and keep up the great work.
@@konichila Youre very welcome - cheers for stopping by the channel, much appreciated! I made some more videos using the slider if you want to check them out. How to make stock footage from home. there you can see more footage from it. Have a good one
I noticed that you were also using a Manfrotto fluid head with the slider. What model is that? It looks like better quality than the Leofoto.
To be honest, the manfrotto fluid head is falling apart. the screw that tightens the ballhead fell off for no particular reason, which was annoying. I only have my Leofoto head now, which is better imo. Cheers for watching!
@@DanielBryn That’s good to know. I’m buying the slider and was trying to determine which ball head would be best. Sounds like I need to buy the Leofoto. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for creating this video. How loud is the motor in db? I am looking for a good motorised slider. I am looking for all 3 features in one slider. It should be as quiet as possible, can carry at least 5kg weight and I can use vertically. Any suggestions please?
Hey there, thanks! It is 38dbi so very silent. And can carry 3,5kg on desktop mode, 2,5 on tripod and 2kg in vertical mode. Havent really tried any other small sliders, but if you want a small, supersilent one that is also very portable, id say this is i great choice! And much more affordable that other options. Cheers!
@@DanielBryn Have you tried it on any telephoto lens? Do you get a smooth footage?
hello, thanks a lot. is this slider precise? can it do the exaxt same movement again? so i can duplicate myself in a video with movement? thanks a lot
Ive tried on some product shoots, and in that case it was precise enough to do just that. But as ifootage says, it is not meant for macro shots, so I held the slider steady as it moved to avoid jittering. In your case, I think you should be ok, but I havent tested just that
What the axis head u use?
its a manfrotto head, cant rememeber the exact model. Now I use the K5 from ifootage. Much more stable!
What tripod/head were you using?
Hey, its a manfrotto. Both head and tripod. cant remember exactly what model and ive since swapped to a carbonfibre one!
Is it working with fuji XH1?
It works with my fuji xt4, so I can just asume so. For video definitely as you dont need the sync cable for that
what is the tripod that you are using?
its a manfrotto,
A video, and a time lapse are not the same thing. You were calling all of your videos timelapses.
I must have used the wrong word. Good thing you managed to identify which is which.
