[@JonathanWilson83]

I've watched more of your videos in the last few days since I found you than I have any other channel. I love your corny jokes, and the value you bring. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!!

[@tombuck]

“Corny jokes and high value” - that should be the channel motto 😬

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

Been thinking about getting one of these. One of these days. It will be mine. Great video, hope all is well 👍🏻

[@tombuck]

It’s definitely worth the investment. 👍

[@siphiwepandeka339]

I don't miss any of your videos and each time you bring a lot of valuable lessons.

[@tombuck]

That’s so much! That really means a lot, I know everyone’s time is valuable. 🙏

[@edelkrone.official]

Hey Tom, thanks for the review!

[@tombuck]

You’re welcome! I’ve been having a ton of fun with this thing 👍

[@PrestonJensen]

Love that you left the lens cap falling off in the video! Thanks for the great content!

[@tombuck]

The timing is perfect with me saying I tend to mess things up. Couldn't have planned that!

[@SimplyAubs]

LOL!!! 🤣 You pulled out the dad joke! 🤣 It is a great tool for the toolkit. Thanks for sharing with us! I haven’t even thought about the jib shot - thanks!

[@tombuck]

The jib shot is really fun! It was possible with my manual slider, but I always felt the need to keep one hand on the camera at all times, which wasn't super practical. I've been trying to sprinkle at least one dad joke in every video. I kinda felt bad about this one, but I thought it was really funny...

[@Mountainandmolehill]

Oh man, that looks awesome. I haven't even finished the vid, but I want one.

[@tombuck]

It’s a game changer for sure. There are lots of options, but I really like this one.

[@DoniDarwin]

Nice review tom 😄😄😄

[@tombuck]

Thank you so much 😀

[@PATRICKCASTILLO]

I’m a dad-joker too. Love it!

[@HustleNinjas]

I have had that Konova for years... but I'd really like that Edelkrone 😩

[@tombuck]

I really love it, and I was a huge fan of the Konova (which is still great, of course).

[@murtts]

Congrats! Amazing device!

Great video! Detailed, no fuss and charismatic 🙌🏼 I’m looking into sliders to amp up my video when live streaming concerts (as a one girl show this could add a lot✨)

[@MikeMena]

LOLOL YOU WENT ALL IN WITH DAD JOKES! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Another great video! I can't count the number of times I've put that in my basket and then decided against it! As far as I can see you didn't get the Headone unit with it? I felt I'd have to get both which is super expensive and that's what ultimately put me off. Do you find it a little limiting without the rotating head - you said something about wanting the camera to track you as it slid? I got a motorised full size Neewer slider which does the job but it's a little awkward to use - and I don't "enjoy" using it like I know I would the Edelkrone!

[@tombuck]

As of now I only have the slider one, but I’d like the HeadOne (and the JibOne!). It’s somewhat limiting, but with the slider moving on it’s own, I can pan and tilt my video head myself. I definitely plan on expanding this setup in the future!

[@TheTechnologyMan]

@@tombuck Now have to go and see what the JibOne is! Anything that's part if of a "system" can start emptying your pockets very quickly!

[@fsb5370]

What is the name of that boom or arm attached that's holding the light above your head? at 3:51 mark

[@tombuck]

It’s actually a gimbal extension attached to a cheap light stand with the ball head from my Gorillapod. I’m working on a studio tour video that explains it a bit more. But just yesterday I installed a mount to the ceiling so I shouldn’t need to use it any more 👍

[@fsb5370]

The Enthusiasm Project that is hilarious!

[@vedanshgaur]

So much informative. Please make a video on if we have a mirror less camera with in built stabilization and we have a lende which is also have stabilized system and also if we have a gimbal then if we want to shoot a broll . So what the result ?? Please make video with this related topic please 🙏🙏🙏. Love your content.

[@tombuck]

That’s a pretty interesting idea...

[@TheGalaris]

Hi nice video! Where did you buy your background posters (especially the futurama one) 😬

[@tombuck]

Glad you noticed it! I've been collecting these prints for ages. I think I found the Futurama one online about 15 years ago.

[@stevewturnbull]

Hi Tom, great video. What tripod/head are you using for the tilt?

[@tombuck]

Most of the time I use an old Manfrotto head that they don't make anymore, but the newer (and better) equivalent is the MVH500AH.

[@stevewturnbull]

@@tombuck Ah that's the one I've got but the problem is I can't mount the slider properly on the plate or do vertical shots because the head springs back :(

[@tombuck]

Hmm, is your lock broken? You should be able to position the head however you want and then turn the side knob to lock it in place 🤔

[@stevewturnbull]

@@tombuck Not sure I understand. It's a fluid head with a counterbalance so the only way round that would be to remove the spring.

[@cmbruno46]

Great video! I find that it’s a bit noisy. Have you had this problem. If so, how do you deal with it?

[@tombuck]

It definitely makes an audible noise, but hasn't been too bad for me. I do mainly use it for b-roll shots, where I won't be using the audio, but I have used it during live streams with no issues (using a mic that's not mounted to the camera).

[@ExplanatoryLive]

Hi Tom, Are you still happy with the slider? I see some reviews that say its really jittery? Is it ok now... Thanks so much. Love your videos!

[@tombuck]

I love it and use it all the time! I haven’t had any jitter issues. I’ve heard people talk about it, but haven’t experienced it.

[@ExplanatoryLive]

@@tombuck Awesome Thanks Tom

Great video

[@LiveDeerCamByCajun]

thanks for the video

[@lecommis6842]

The issue I have with this slider is that it makes noise. I wanted to shoot a documentary and add some movement but I'm afraid it will be too loud for interviews.

[@tombuck]

I can only speak to mine since it's the only one I've used, but it's pretty quiet. There's definitely noise, but nothing that's ever gotten picked up on camera (for me anyway- you're setup might be totally different).

[@lecommis6842]

@@tombuck Hey Tom, thanks a lot for responding to my comment. I'm not sure if it's psychological or not but when I listen to your sound with my headset I think I can hear it a bit. But anyway it's not loud enough so the sound would be unusable. Not to contradict what you're saying of course but I'm trying to find the perfect slider for my project. Thanks again Tom. It's really cool that you speak to your fans 🙂

[@dslrdave]

Waiting for about 2 years to buy this bad boy... never saw doing under 500$can yet!

[@tombuck]

B&H Deal of the Day really came to the rescue. 😬

[@baja1980s]

Really haven’t liked eldekrone sliders, I’m a big fan of rhino sliders, to me is by far the very best.. I don’t like to rely on a app to let me use the slider, or if your WiFi is down it doesn’t let you, connect .. say your in a area where connection is horrible, you won’t be able to use the slider without the app. Gerald undone did a review about it too if you wanna take a look at it.

[@tombuck]

I've had the same though, which is why I do wish there was a simple switch to kick it into manual mode. The Rhino sliders looks great- just beyond my budget. I saw today that Edelkrone released a physical controller that can pair with all their gear, so I preordered one. 😬

[@file1man]

@tombuck tom, did you find the edelkrone physical controller useful?. My quick impression is that the controller allows control of more than one type of edelkrone product via a usb connected computer. I bought that small slider, some motor and jib units but never found any edelkrone tutorials so the equipment sits unused. I believe edelkrone even removed their marketing videos showing how they used their products. Any suggestions to find edelkrone tutorials or examples of how to use edelkrone products. I found their original marketing videos very creative, but the vids have been removed. Any suggestions? Gary

[@09591000]

Молодец.

[@Doc8404]

manual slider hack, use a rubber band tied to the camera and pull the rubber band.

[@tombuck]

Yes! Great idea for panning with tripods too!

[@TheKenyanEntrepreneur]

Lets talk about the Rodecaster. Are you still with one? I could have set up GoFund me campaign but Kenya is a mess. Not among the supported countries. Wait, could you help with that? Something for your sub?

[@tombuck]

I still use my Rodecaster all the time and love it. I can’t help with any fundraising issues, but wish you all the best- I’m sorry your situation is so chaotic.
