Cinematic footage for under $300!! KONOVA slider and the KMS- S3 motor

[@evenhandedcommentor6102]

Got it. I got the 48" version. Why? Because I wanted the option of the longer travel. So far, I'm using it for time lapse. After I set it up, it dawned on me...I'm not going to leave my phone sitting there and wait for the time lapse to finish!!! So, I left with my phone and...it kept going without the phone controller nearby! So, it works well, just as you portrayed in your video. No issues with the controller software. Finds the motor every time and runs it through bluetooth on my iphone.

Glad to hear it! Still works great for me, also! I appreciate how easy it connects.

Now that’s a nice slider , I need to get a motorized one as I’m still using the old manual type.

[@PostColorGear]

Yeah, it adds so much value!

[@annulaueerma1317]

Thank You for the review, much appreciated. Does it work as a regular slider? Is it stable with a regular fluid head operated manually?

[@PostColorGear]

Yes, you can use this a regular slider if you prefer. All you'd really have to do is not connect it to the motor. That's not to say that you couldn't still slide it with the motor and belt attached, but the motor is definitely optional.

Good Job on the Video and Review. I do lot of product photography and commercial shoots for a Diesel Performance Shop and I'm wondering; is it possible to mount a gimbal on this slider?

[@PostColorGear]

It has an 11lb payload, at least horizontally, so you should be able to mount a gimbal without an issue.

Hello. I cannot find any app for KONOVA KMS-S3 in Android Play Store... please someone may help me to find it? I buy 100cm KONOVA slider but I cannot remote it without any app!!... Thank you very much for help. Francesco

If the phone is turned off, does it still work?

[@PostColorGear]

I've honestly never tried it with the phone off but it depends on what you mean. If you start the movement and then power off the phone, I believe it stops. (I am not home to test this right now.) If youre asking if you can use it as a "regular" slider, you can. I would take the motor off though.

@@PostColorGear It would be very kind of you to test it. to know if it works for me or not before making the purchase, thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, greetings.

I do wish you had mentioned the fact the Android app isn't listed on the play store. This to me is a major red flag, Android warns you it could be unsafe to install the file as they haven't verified it. It's very simple to get your app on the play store, ask me how I know. The next part is that it wants access to your media files, location and calls??? Not happening. It's an app to control a slider, there is no need to access any of that. I'm disappointed that no reviewer on youtube has mentioned this, I really wish I had known before hand.

[@PostColorGear]

It "could be" unsafe. It just means that they haven't verified it, yet. I highly doubt that Konova created a company, creating products, only to ruin that by doing anything nefarious with the app. It never would have crossed my mind to indicate that this wasn't obtained through the Play store, other than to walk the viewer through each step, specifically, which I made the decision that most would not care about. Regardless, thanks for watching!

@@PostColorGear You clearly don't get it. Tell me 1 good reason why their app needs access to your phone media? I'll wait...
