Biggest point for me with having a motorised slider is the fact I don't need to be holding the gimbal/camera. I can create some cool and interesting shots of my work as I'm doing it, and that's the biggest win for me.
Sam, thanks for this. An old acquaintance contacted me, brought one of these over. he had purchased it and then never even took it out of the box, and had moved on, and just GAVE it to me! So I have a couple of upcoming jobs, just unpacked, found your video and have set it up. The referral for the support arms much appreciated, they will be here in two days, one day before the first shoot. This thing is so smooth, love it. Thanks again from a new subscriber.
That’s awesome, Michael! 🎉🤩 so pleased you like the slider. It’s amazing especially for the price. Ah I hope you enjoy the arms! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥
Exactly the video I needed to see after a weekend of researching motorized sliders (with a GVM80 in my Amazon cart). Great video, well shot, extremely informative. Thank YOU!
I have this exact same slider. Sooooo good for the price, or any price. Solidly built, sturdy, quiet, lots of features including time-lapse. If you're looking to get a slider, this is the one to get.
Youre a legend!!! Honestly love your channel! you're super underrated and I see you becoming huge soon! I bought the Godox SL-60w from your review. And now I find myself looking for a motorized slider. Keep it up my guy.
Hey! 🤩 Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s really encouraging to hear that from people! 💪🏻 Thats great! Do you like the Godox? Haha oh no! I hope I don’t get anybody in trouble for spending too much. Maybe don’t watch the next few videos! 😂😂 Stay safe. Thanks again 🙏🏻

Really helpful Sam. Thanks for doing the video. Just bought one! FYI, your link sends us to the GT60 rather than the GP-80 in case you are making any commission on these.
I've been researching and reading reviews all day for a variety of motorized sliders. I think this is my last stop, as I'm pretty convinced this will be the perfect fit for what I need and my budget. Thanks for the splendid and immensely helpful review!
Ah I’m so pleased you found this helpful. I am still impressed with this slider today! I hope it’s all you’re after and thank you for checking out the channel 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Hi Charles. I’m pleased you liked the video and thanks for the compliment 🙏🏻 I was using the Canon eos R here but now I use the R6. No ND just normal. I may have had it on the wrong setting though 😂
@@SamHolland Thanks for replying. Your video quality is awesome. Do you color grade your footage if so do you have a tutorial for your style of color grading?
Did you do or have to do any image stabilization in post production? Like warp stabilization in Adobe Premiere? EDIT: Do you recommend the version with aluminum rails instead of carbon fiber? I've had experience using CF vs alum in other camera equipment like tripods, but not on a slider. Generally CF is lighter so less strenuous when carrying, but aluminum should provide a more stable movement?? Your thoughts?
Just received my GVM GP-80QD (bought based on your opinions)...did you ever find what ac/dc power adapter this slider uses? Or where a good spot to buy extra batteries might be?
so any 2 tripods will work on the slider to stand it up on both ends? No special clamps or anything? Also, what kind of attachment is that connecting the slider and your Tripod in the video? Thanks!
Hi Cris! Yeh any two tripods or light stand with a 1/4” thread will be fine. No special clamps. I just used the manfrotto plate from the tripod and attached it underneath the slider. You have different thread options underneath the slider. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🤩🎥
Hey Sam if you just forget the cost factor, what is your opinion about this GVM slider if you have to compare it with the Edelkrone 23 inches or the long slider ? I need to know just about functionality and reliability in comparison. Can you please reply asap ?
Hi. Thanks for your question. While I can’t compare directly (I have never used the edelkrone sliders), I will say that I have never had any problems with my GVM slider and I’ve had it almost 2 years now. It’s really easy to use and it works every time. How often will you be using it? And will you be using it for paid work a lot?
@@SamHolland I do plan to use it for making Food and product videos. Also for assignments. Can't say the amount of work for now because of the Covid Lockdown . I think next year I will be using it very often. Which one is more solid and robust of the two ?
When you screw in the plate for the tripod is it supposed to screw in all the way where the plate no longer moves? I bought one and the screw (1/4 and 3/8) starts to screw in but then it stops where the plate isn't tight and moves around...
This is where those support arms would come in handy. I’ve got another slider video coming up that has a higher payload... you might wanna catch that one. Thanks for watching 🎥🙏🏻
I haven’t tried the Neewer slider but I imagine they’re pretty similar. Neewer are usually good. I use the Rode video mic pro plus and my audio presets on my website which there is a link to below. Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Oh no!! We don’t want you to miss out!! 🤩 I think it may have been because it hadn’t uploaded in HD. I was having trouble with it. Thanks for watching in the end bro! 🙏🏻
Remember to weight down your tripod (and/or lighting support) legs if it is the least tippy. I use sandbags from a pair of wrist weight belts that are never used. Each bag is just 1 pound and three of them will weight down a tripod plenty. Cheap and easy solution.
I am a realtor. I use an iPhone 11 pro, an OSMO 3, and iMovie editing. I am about to get a commercial license for my Mavic 2. I want to add a tripod and slider to my set of tools. What would you suggest as a decent price point for a tripod and slider that will enable me to up my photo and video skills?
Hi Brian. To be honest, it kind of comes down to how much you can spend on it. I really wanted the Rhino slider but it would have cost me about £1200 at the time. I decided to go for the GVM at around £300 which was much better for me as a beginner and I still use it today. Can’t go wrong with it. The quality isn’t as good and it’s not as sturdy BUT it gets the job done for me. I hope that helps.
Hi, how and 1 and a half year after - do you use it? And how about vertical panning does it runs camera like (canon r6) + lens (like 100m macro) its something near 1,5kg combined - not 45 degrees, but way more))) is it smooth?
Hi. Yeh I still use and love this slider. However, this one will be better for motor performance and for what you want to use it for … ua-cam.com/video/kFj41zTc1yc/v-deo.html Thanks for watching. Hope this helps. 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Hi Thank you so much, But it was very good that you showed the film recorded with it, because many people have written that this slider has a shock when moving.😌
GVM sliders are horrible. I've tried 2 of them and they both failed miserably. Build quality was sub-par and their advertised "wireless" functionality isn't wireless at all. Then there's the fact that when you try to contact their support via email (which is someone's personal inbox), you get a bounce back stating the the email address does not exist. The support phone number isn't any better. Calling it routes you to a Google voicemail box telling you that "Mike" (or whatever) is not available. I highly recommend people stay away from this brand until they get their act together.
11:02 I think there is a version of this also from GVM that has that articulating head bit baked into the control device. But of course your own fluid head will always be more flexible.
Great review. I was looking at the Rhino but I couldn’t justify the cost and then I saw this slider. After watching your review I’m convinced. Thanks for taking the time to record this review.
@@SamHolland i want to use the laowa probe lens with this. Is there a way to mount the camera hanging off the side like daniel schiffer so I can use the probe lens?
Good video, very detailed! i'm on my way of buying a slider and i already saw this one... sadly, if it was half the lenght of that, i'll buy it right away!
Hey. Thanks so much 🙏🏻 yes I was but now I use this - ua-cam.com/video/JACn-_kGHDs/v-deo.html Let me know what you think to the comparisons. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
watching YT for the last 10 years never came to a stranger's video of 24 minutes and watch it 100% with normal speed. WOW well done dude! Such a good video.
Hi. The one I use is in the description. Honestly for any slider you’ll need either a heavy tripod with a larger head and wide legs, OR use two tripods, one either side. You can get support arms now too.
I appreciate the video, but some more examples would have been nice. The important question is how stable/smooth it is, and I couldn't really tell that by your video. Think I'm gonna buy one though.
@@SamHolland it is just easier to use ie no app just plug and playing although you can do loads more like panning tilting etc with the Edelkrone if you just want to use a slider then this is perfect
That is interesting. I know what you mean about apps. They can be overly complex sometimes. I suppose the options are there though. Thanks again bro 🙏🏻
I have to test that slider, looked so expensive with the carbon fiber railes but its not. Really good Video/review, they should pay you for that Bro Keep on going!
Yeah you’re right. I was so impressed with the quality for its price! Let me know if you try it 🤩 haha yeh that would be nice! 🙏🏻 Thanks my friend. Thanks for watching
Really cool video makes me want a slider lol. But my youtube content dosent really need it. I find when ever I buy a gaget I have to get like 10 more accessories its just adds up over time. keep up the content dude!
@@angelicaamora11 Thank you so much! I actually did end up buying it and am pretty happy with it. Definitely needed an external power unit as the battery doesn't last all that long for continuous use.
I don't have this exact slider, but one that works in the same way mechanically (with the adjustable rod in the middle) and it is great for shots moving side to side, but I found that the big flaw with the design is doing a push in/pull out shot where the camera is facing one of the ends. The rod and mechanism under the sliding plate make it impossible for the camera to stay perfectly straight the entire time. You end up getting a push in/pull out where the camera is panning back and forth ever so slightly and it completely ruins it. Again, very good for side to side parallax shots, but not very versatile.
Hi Sean! I know the feeling! After a while I got used to it but I find the motorised slider is so much easier. Thanks for watching. Hope you’re well 🙏🏻
I added this GVM slider ($369) and the support arms ($73) to my amazon list on top of the BMPCC4K, Meike 25mm Cine lens, DJI Ronin S, and a $108 heavy duty tripod-- had to delete the Tilta nucleus wireless follow focus to get slider -- but idk if i'll be screwed pulling focus without it using just lens MF ring while it's on the ronin or slider :/ i also got rid of my 7" monitor too 😭
Awesome video bro! Sold me on this big time. I have a manual slider from Neewer and you just can't beat a motorized slider. Also love the LUT you used in this video. You've earned a sub!
Nice. I notice you are using an SLR Cam. I have a camcorder. Canon Legria G25. The Legria is heavier than an SLR camera. Will the G25 still work in the slide, please.
Hey I just bought a Zeapon Axis 120 which is very noisy when it brakes ans accelerates again in another way. This GVM is very noisy too. So I can't use it for an interview. Do you know one motorized slider that is very slient? A one which can be used when guests are close during an interview. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Hi Sam I just purchased the slider on Amazon directly from your link in your UA-cam video, but it has arrived and it’s the GT-60D and not the G80 QD that you describe in the video! Mine doesn’t look as fancy as yours and apparently you need to buy a shutter release cable as well to be able to use it, is this correct?
Great thoughts and review thanks!! Have you heard of the new if guess- iFootage slider ? You mention both GVM and Neewer, them seem much the same, but which would you prefer as a beginner shooting b-roll and interviews (or one self 🤣)
I just ordered one of these. I am going to use it for one-person pieces to camera in my bedroom studio, as a second camera, initially, but I think almost any indie film should use a second camera on a motorized slider while shooting the main footage. Remember to also use a clapperboard to help you can sync sound with your auxiliary camera. I think the key to using a budget motorized slider is to use a lightweight camera. I have a Canon HRF 800 camcorder that shoots 1080p and doesn't weigh much more than the battery that powers it, and it was about $250 new. I know that such a light camera will not strain the motor, cause excessive wear of the traction belt or cause excessive noise. I suspect many complaints about budget motorized sliders are from people who demand too much from a piece of kit that costs less than a telephoto lens.
Thank you so much for this! I was looking for something exactly like this and didn't want to spend thousands for the few times a year that I need it. I just ordered it! Cheers!
Thanks friend, I just got this exact model yesterday, still sitting in the box. Trying to learn what NOT to do before I even start using it, the rail clamp being loosened first will be gold for me... 😎 Good Shooting!
Haha 😂 yes! Make sure you don’t make the same mistakes as me!! That’s cool. I hope you enjoy your new slider. I have a video on slider techniques too if that’s any help to you. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏻 let me know when it’s out the box 🤩🎥
Hello Sam! After watching your video I decided to buy the GVM slider, but when i got it, it was't what I expected (too much trepidation) I ended up buying a Noxon Mod Slider and couldn't be hapier. Is a little more expensive than the GVM (not too much) but it's A LOOOOT BETTER. You should check it out! #KeepUpTheGoodWork
Hi. I’m sorry the GVM was not as you expected. I think they’ve changed it a bit since this video. Thanks for the tip though. Have you seen my Zeapon slider video? 🤩👌🏻🎥 thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Sam your channel is criminally undersubscribed. Don't know what the algorithm thinks it's doing but I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Nothing short of stellar.
This is exactly what im looking for!! Is it able to be plugged in for continuous power? or do you have to rely on charging the battery? (planning on this being fully stationary
Hi. I believe it needs to be powered by battery. I can’t look right now because I’m away but I think the YC onion slider can be plugged in for continuous use. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥 hope it helps
Just bought this. Building a new channel and this review was super helpful. Can't wait to get this. Question, what tripod head are you using. I looked all over for a large head like that. I'm talking about the one underneath your slider, holding it.
Hi Joe. Sorry for my super late reply. I don't always get notifications! The exact tripod heads are in the description below but I'm using manfrotto for both. Thanks for watching.
I WANT this slider so bad , for the price i don't mind having this in my arsenal of gear , thanks for this one Sam you have no idea how informative this was 🙂
Hi Josh. I’m so pleased you found this helpful. Definitely worth picking one of these up if you will use it. It’s helped me so much. Thank YOU for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

This is insanely helpful, thank you! I am wondering, how long do you think it would take to go from one end to the other at 1% speed?
Since he didn't answer you, It's about 2min from one end to the other.
@@angelicaamora11 Thank you so much! I actually did end up buying it and am pretty happy with it. Definitely needed an external power unit as the battery doesn't last all that long for continuous use.
I don't have this exact slider, but one that works in the same way mechanically (with the adjustable rod in the middle) and it is great for shots moving side to side, but I found that the big flaw with the design is doing a push in/pull out shot where the camera is facing one of the ends. The rod and mechanism under the sliding plate make it impossible for the camera to stay perfectly straight the entire time. You end up getting a push in/pull out where the camera is panning back and forth ever so slightly and it completely ruins it. Again, very good for side to side parallax shots, but not very versatile.
Hi Sam, can it have linear movement from start point to end point ?
Hi. Yes it can
amazing video great product and great energy ! thanks
Thank YOU 🤩🙏🏻🎥
I don’t have a motorized one yet but I use one manually and I have to try multiple times to get the smooth shoot I intend.
Hi Sean! I know the feeling! After a while I got used to it but I find the motorised slider is so much easier. Thanks for watching. Hope you’re well 🙏🏻
Thank you so much brother, will be getting this equipment.
Awesome. Let me know how you get on 🤩🎥
I added this GVM slider ($369) and the support arms ($73) to my amazon list on top of the BMPCC4K, Meike 25mm Cine lens, DJI Ronin S, and a $108 heavy duty tripod-- had to delete the Tilta nucleus wireless follow focus to get slider -- but idk if i'll be screwed pulling focus without it using just lens MF ring while it's on the ronin or slider :/ i also got rid of my 7" monitor too 😭
Awesome video bro! Sold me on this big time. I have a manual slider from Neewer and you just can't beat a motorized slider. Also love the LUT you used in this video. You've earned a sub!
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻 so pleased you enjoyed the video. Yeah motorised sliders are sooo handy. 🎥
New Sub! I enjoyed this review. Very helpful!
Hey. Great to have you here. I’m
Pleased it helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHollandyou've had this for years. Is it still holding up good for you? Also, do you recommend using 2 tripods to keep more steady shots?
Nice. I notice you are using an SLR Cam. I have a camcorder. Canon Legria G25. The Legria is heavier than an SLR camera. Will the G25 still work in the slide, please.
Hey I just bought a Zeapon Axis 120 which is very noisy when it brakes ans accelerates again in another way. This GVM is very noisy too. So I can't use it for an interview. Do you know one motorized slider that is very slient? A one which can be used when guests are close during an interview. Thanks in advance for your answer.
New Sub! Great review man. Just bought the GVM 80qd and looking forward to giving it a go! Blessings
Thanks Scott! Ah that’s awesome! 🤩 let me know when it arrives! Exciting times 🙏🏻🎥
You make great videos bro!
Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Hi Sam I just purchased the slider on Amazon directly from your link in your UA-cam video, but it has arrived and it’s the GT-60D and not the G80 QD that you describe in the video! Mine doesn’t look as fancy as yours and apparently you need to buy a shutter release cable as well to be able to use it, is this correct?
This video has a very clean look to it! I like it.
Thank you Joshua. Hopefully some of my newer videos will be to your taste too.
Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks for the review, but... this device is 300USD for nothing: one axis only and even not connected to a computer and thus cannot be programned.
Great thoughts and review thanks!! Have you heard of the new if guess- iFootage slider ? You mention both GVM and Neewer, them seem much the same, but which would you prefer as a beginner shooting b-roll and interviews (or one self 🤣)
I do agree with your point of gimbal vs slider. Still, your gimbal technique suck hard xD
from china lol
Great overview. I’m getting one next week.
🤩🤩🤩 exciting. I hope you enjoy it
What about DSLR dolly with remote control? Is it even better? It cost a quarter of GVM
Apparently the span width of your hands and arms is exactly your height.
Are you still using this slider? Will it support a DJI RS2 and a lumix s5?
what kind of ball head do i need to get? i'm using BMPCC4K and idk if the camera platform comes with it
Great vid! Subbed
Thank you 🙏🏻🤩🎥
can you remove the poles and belt replace them with longer ones and have it work the same?
I just ordered one of these. I am going to use it for one-person pieces to camera in my bedroom studio, as a second camera, initially, but I think almost any indie film should use a second camera on a motorized slider while shooting the main footage. Remember to also use a clapperboard to help you can sync sound with your auxiliary camera.
I think the key to using a budget motorized slider is to use a lightweight camera. I have a Canon HRF 800 camcorder that shoots 1080p and doesn't weigh much more than the battery that powers it, and it was about $250 new. I know that such a light camera will not strain the motor, cause excessive wear of the traction belt or cause excessive noise. I suspect many complaints about budget motorized sliders are from people who demand too much from a piece of kit that costs less than a telephoto lens.
Thank you so much for this! I was looking for something exactly like this and didn't want to spend thousands for the few times a year that I need it. I just ordered it! Cheers!
I’m so glad this helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thanks for watching
Thanks friend, I just got this exact model yesterday, still sitting in the box. Trying to learn what NOT to do before I even start using it, the rail clamp being loosened first will be gold for me... 😎 Good Shooting!
Haha 😂 yes! Make sure you don’t make the same mistakes as me!! That’s cool. I hope you enjoy your new slider. I have a video on slider techniques too if that’s any help to you. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏻 let me know when it’s out the box 🤩🎥
Hello Sam! After watching your video I decided to buy the GVM slider, but when i got it, it was't what I expected (too much trepidation) I ended up buying a Noxon Mod Slider and couldn't be hapier. Is a little more expensive than the GVM (not too much) but it's A LOOOOT BETTER. You should check it out! #KeepUpTheGoodWork
Hi. I’m sorry the GVM was not as you expected. I think they’ve changed it a bit since this video. Thanks for the tip though. Have you seen my Zeapon slider video? 🤩👌🏻🎥 thanks for watching 🙏🏻
hi thx for your vid but the links doesn't work
Hi. Thanks for watching the video. I think the links sometimes run out of stock. I’ll have a look. Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏻
@@SamHolland i check out gvm website they don't shipp to Germany just usa and mexic is that right or I'm wrong
Can you test out the remote shutter that is actually built in the product.
Thanks.
Sam your channel is criminally undersubscribed. Don't know what the algorithm thinks it's doing but I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Nothing short of stellar.
😂 Thanks Ollie 🙏🏻 I hope this video helped. Let’s see if we can crack that algorithm shall we! 💪🏻😂🎥🙏🏻 hope this video helped you
This is exactly what im looking for!! Is it able to be plugged in for continuous power? or do you have to rely on charging the battery? (planning on this being fully stationary
Hi. I believe it needs to be powered by battery. I can’t look right now because I’m away but I think the YC onion slider can be plugged in for continuous use. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥 hope it helps
Just bought this. Building a new channel and this review was super helpful. Can't wait to get this. Question, what tripod head are you using. I looked all over for a large head like that. I'm talking about the one underneath your slider, holding it.
Hi Joe. Sorry for my super late reply. I don't always get notifications! The exact tripod heads are in the description below but I'm using manfrotto for both. Thanks for watching.
Here in 2021. Just ordered one. I really like your review on this. It was really helpful in my purchase decisions.
Hey. Thanks so much. I’m pleased the video helped you decide and I hope you enjoy the slider. 🤩🙏🏻 thanks for watching 🎥
I WANT this slider so bad , for the price i don't mind having this in my arsenal of gear , thanks for this one Sam you have no idea how informative this was 🙂
Hi Josh. I’m so pleased you found this helpful. Definitely worth picking one of these up if you will use it. It’s helped me so much. Thank YOU for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks so much for the link for the support arms I've just ordered that very slider and didn't know about the support arms.
My pleasure. Game changer 🤩 I hope you enjoy 🙏🏻🤩 thanks for watching 🎥
Great video brotha! Keep going. Just got one and look forward to using it.
Thank you. Ah cool I hope you enjoy it. It’s amazing 🤩 thanks for watching
Hi! Does it only go front-back? Or can it also turn left-right while moving?? automatically to create parallax effect??
Thx
Hi. Yes as shown in the video there are some examples.
Thank you 🙏🏻🎥🤩
