Question about your version of the slider my dude. Does yours make a high frequency noise at certain power levels? I just picked one up and was running tests on it, and I find a very noticeable high pitched noise at many of the power levels. There's 2 different ranges of about 4-5% that I don't notice it on. The rest it's honestly super annoying. Any thoughts?

[@MoniJohnson]

I no longer have this slider so I'm not sure what version it was. Mine did not make any high-pitched noises though.

[@continuousfocuskc]

A young Moni Johnson. The studio looks very different today. You look the same.

[@MoniJohnson]

That's what people around here keep telling me... right before they are drained of their blood.

[@continuousfocuskc]

@@MoniJohnson Haha, sounds about right….you do have the gift of youthful looks. The slider is cool, just as I was wondering about it’s parallax abilities you addressed it. Well done.

[@MoniJohnson]

That's "KZbinr ESP" that got you that parallax footage.

[@VforVolusia]

What made you choose this model over the carbon fiber slider? Considering GVM 80QD.

[@MoniJohnson]

I'm not sure the carbon fiber version was available when I bought mine. May have been, but I was not aware of it. My most recent slider (from Rhino) is carbon fiber though.

[@michaelmiller7928]

Hey bro what’s your background lighting? Those thin cool white/blue lights are fantastic looking

[@MoniJohnson]

Those are some low cost tube LEDs. Scroll down towards the bottom of my gear list and you'll see them listed. www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AGHWDOF3A2EMQ2SWWL2633RSNXUQ/3J6TYBAENNHUA?type=explore&ref=idea_cp_vl_vv_mw

[@christianwilson6480]

Just got mine...thanks for the video

[@MoniJohnson]

Not a problem. It's a great slider and a great price IMO.

[@FourLoopMedia]

Can you show some footage shot using it?

[@MoniJohnson]

I am afraid I cannot. I upgraded to a Rhino system a while back.

[@FourLoopMedia]

@@MoniJohnson Congrats! Did the footage on the GVM come out ok or was it wobbly?

[@MoniJohnson]

Footage from the GVM was solid. I had no issues with it at all. I only upgraded for something that was programmable for 3 different axes.

[@RicardoArce]

Hey... i Just got mine two weeks ago... Thanks for the tut!

[@MoniJohnson]

You got the slider? It's a beast for the price. Very long, but it's fine for me.

[@SlowmotionCandy]

Can you fly travel with this case as hand carry-on? I would be afraid to send it as regular baggage.

[@MoniJohnson]

I have no clue about that. I haven't flown with it.

[@cornerstoneproductio]

Great Job !! Clear and Concise! Keep up the Good Work Moni...Cornerstone Productions LLC Sarasota, Fl. btw is this model MFR #GT-J120D ?? BTW is this model you are showing GT-J120D ??

[@MoniJohnson]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@DUBAMEDIA]

This was a very informative video! Good stuff!

[@MoniJohnson]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that.

[@rowen0fstrata]

Great video man. Question: can this slider operate if I am the subject? Meaning that can I set it to automatically move while I am in the shot? Not having to press anything on the remote while it’s moving is what I mean.

[@MoniJohnson]

Thank you very much for the comment. Once you set and start your slides, you won't need to interact with the controller again until you want to restart or stop what you programmed. You can set slides for single pass or loop also. On loop you can just let it run throughout your whole shot.

[@zwang9607]

Can it be mounted vertically?

[@MoniJohnson]

Yes, but depends on the weight of your setup. With a smaller mirrorless I was able to use the slider mounted vertically without issue. With a heavier setup the motor failed unless I changed the pitch/angle of the mount.

[@zwang9607]

@@MoniJohnson thanks bro

[@MoniJohnson]

Anytime!

[@StevenPatrick]

does this have a remote control for when your working by yourself?

[@MoniJohnson]

It has a wired controller with about a 4ft cable, but no wireless.

[@StevenPatrick]

@@MoniJohnson ok ty dang thats kinda messed up and 4 feet isnt very long lol

[@MoniJohnson]

Yeah, that can seem limiting but it's definitely still a good piece of gear. For my needs, having the wire wasn't an issue. Not really "remote control" though.

[@arayaheaven6165]

Can this be attached to a tripod?

[@MoniJohnson]

Absolutely. It has 3 pairs of mounting holes on the bottom- one in the middle, one on the left end, one on the right end. Each pair has a 1/4" and a 3/8" hole. Because the slider is so wide, if you use at full width with a single tripod/stand you'll get some sagging at the ends. I always use two tripods/stands (one on either end) to prevent sagging.

[@arayaheaven6165]

@@MoniJohnson Thank you!

[@sunlightdetail]

nice good video brother

[@MoniJohnson]

Thanks

[@dantehawkins6893]

Who did your intro video? I like that.. Need one for my motorcycle business channel.

[@MoniJohnson]

I created it on Motionden.com. Cost like $14.00. Great service.

[@dantehawkins6893]

Nicely done. I will check it out. Thanks

[@MoniJohnson]

Anytime!

[@coolruler]

Good video, what's the track playing in the background?

[@MoniJohnson]

Thank you. I have no clue about the track. I believe it's one of the royalty-free tracks distributed through KZbin.

[@coolruler]

@@MoniJohnson Alright cool, keep up the good work!

[@Mafiastr8drop]

Hey bro it’s riley give me a holler on Facebook when you can.

[@MoniJohnson]

What's good, bro? I hope you and them fam have been doing ok. I'll hit you in a few.

[@ShellyBHollis]

Nice video... Trying to decide by this weekend between the 48 and 31

[@MoniJohnson]

Thank you. Really, 31 is probably all you need.

[@POTENTDOMAIN]

Im on the same boat . Is there a added effect when the slider is longer ? For music video , interviews ect ?

[@MoniJohnson]

A longer slider will definitely give a more "pronounced" effect but if you get the 48" be sure to setup with two stands/tripods.

[@POTENTDOMAIN]

@@MoniJohnson could you elaborate alil on the pronounced effect . Haven't really found precise info on this effect . Need to buy one with next hour .

[@MoniJohnson]

Sorry for the late reply. We're at a photo shoot right now.Think of it like this: If you're moving with the camera, if all other factors are the same then footage where the camera moves 48 feet the motion (and changes within the scene) will be more noticeable than when moving only 31 feet. *I use those numbers to compare a 48 inch slider to a 31 inch slider.
