GVM GP-80QD Motorized Slider Review | Affordable alternative to Rhino Slider Motorised | Worth it?!

Review of the GVM motorized camera slider.
Here I give my opinions about motorized camera sliders vs gimbals and other equipment. I also show you how I set up the GVM GP-80QD slider, explain its really cool features, and program its functions.
I appreciate it is a long video but I do go into a lot of detail so it's worth sticking around if you can manage it :D

Do you use a slider?

[@MorganWoods]

I use the mobile traveller from Rhino, modified myself to fit a DSLR 💯 but I’m probs gonna buy this now I know you have one 😂

[@HiethGeorge]

Yeah I have a fair bit of Edelkrone Kit plus this one and to be honest I use this more than the ED one !

[@SamHolland]

Ah really? What’s the mini rhino like?? Sounds cool! 😂 that’s hilarious! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@MorganWoods]

Sam Holland the rhino is actually same size as yours 😂it’s a beast 🙌🔥

[@SamHolland]

Sweet man! 🔥🔥🔥🤩

[@KeelanJon]

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.

[@MohsenTabrizi]

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.

[@SamHolland]

Ah thanks so much! I’m so pleased you enjoyed watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@HunterWild]

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!

[@SamHolland]

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 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@michaelhart9488]

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.

[@SamHolland]

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 🙏🏻🎥

[@vahidamini1863]

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.😌

That panning rod thing you showed at the end just confirmed it for me. I need this!

[@SamHolland]

It’s great! 🤩🙏🏻 thanks for watching

@@SamHolland no probs! Btw, I just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your style and content - keep it up!

Hey thank you so much! 🤩🙏🏻 I’m pleased you’re enjoying the videos. Thanks for following along! 🎥🤩

[@pacificostudios]

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.

[@ollieburtonuk]

[@stevebbdotcom]

Great review Sam - one has just come up 2nd hand and you have sold me ..... though i will be using the timelapse function for aurora photography :)

[@KaganTech]

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.

[@SamHolland]

Yeh that would be cool to try out 🤩🙏🏻

[@clayformations1638]

You had me sold at the Parallax movement!

[@fpdima]

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]

That’s great! I was doing the same with the rhino! Thank YOU for watching 🙏🏻🎥

[@wcsdiaries]

@@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?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. Yes there is. There are plenty of mounting plates and z plates you can get to achieve this. 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thanks for watching. Hope this helps

[@GreyTapeApe]

amazon has a 47" for $139. just ordered it. hopefully i can get good shots. thanks man

[@migueltrejo1767]

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.

[@SamHolland]

Thanks Miguel! Yeh you’re right 🙏🏻 thanks for watching

[@CliffFennell]

do you still feel the same way today?

[@pacificostudios]

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.

[@mikemiville3009]

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!

[@SamHolland]

I’m so glad this helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thanks for watching

[@theloganpresley]

So glad I just got a gimbal that I can set on top of this thing since I don't have an extra fluid head lol

[@arnousallc7370]

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!

Hey Sam, great video, thanks! I ordered the 48-inch version of this slider yesterday, looking forward to using it after watching this!

[@SamHolland]

Woo! 🥳 that is exciting. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎥

[@visualjon]

Mint review, thanks. A previous review mentioned an issue with the belt causing a slight knock in the footage - caused by a kink in the belt itself where it sits against the motor pulleys during storage for a period of time. If that makes sense. He said he took it off and poured boiling water on it and let it sit for 15 minutes and the kink eased off and the knock didn't happen again. Thought i'd mention it for anyone who's bought or is going to buy the slider.

[@SamHolland]

That is a good idea. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@joshmuuo]

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 🙂

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!

[@SamHolland]

Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻 so pleased you enjoyed the video. Yeah motorised sliders are sooo handy. 🎥

[@npk333]

Excellent review! Covers pretty much everything you'd need to know in a really engaging way. Love your honest, down to earth presentation style. I bought the Neewer 80cm slider a few months ago, but the wireless remote control system was so intermittent and unreliable that it was no real use on time pressured shoots where gear just has to work perfectly all of the time. Sent it back and based on this video I'll definitely be buying the GVM 80QD!!

[@SamHolland]

Thanks Nick 🙏🏻 I’m pleased you liked the review. Sorry to hear about your Neewer slider but that’s worth boring and thanks for sharing. I hope the GVM works better for you. Let me know your thoughts 🙏🏻🎥

I believe that little bit of play in the head that you don’t like is as a result of the parallax system.. it needs to have a bit of play in it so it can move fluidly while panning..

[@CliffFennell]

@@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?

[@morganmurdock2546]

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.

Question for you Sam. Regarding the time lapse cable. Unfortunately, the time lapse cables used for control, my camera has a C type connector and none is provided.

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.

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?

[@Promikes]

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?

[@SamHolland]

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 … kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfNZWSwichkr8U Thanks for watching. Hope this helps. 🤩🙏🏻🎥

hey Sam, great video. I've just bought the GVM 60D on Amazon as they we're sold out of the 80QD. BTW any tips to balancing the Ronis S - it's a way too much effort to get working!

[@SamHolland]

Hi Ken. That’s awesome!! 🥳 for balancing the Ronin, I split it up into sections. Try and get 1 bit balanced at a time and follow the instructions in the app. It’s easy once you’ve done it a few times. 🙏🏻

Hi Sam I just purchased the slider on Amazon directly from your link in your KZbin 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?

[@C4103]

Do you think it would be a bad idea to mount one of these upside down on a ceiling? Would it be possible to extend the control cable?

[@SamHolland]

The creative in me would say “give it a go!” 🤩 but I also have a duty to say be careful not to break any expensive stuff. Make sure it’s all safe 👌🏻 and let me know what happens 🎥

Hey Sam, what's your name for the people that are returning to your channel?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. It’s Sam Holland 🙏🏻

[@JimmyOlsson]

Smashing review! Or maybe I should say smoth!

[@SamHolland]

😂 thank you! 🙏🏻🎥

[@wanderer1955]

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.

[@shahnawazrazi8939]

Hi Sam, can it have linear movement from start point to end point ?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. Yes it can

[@twzted_synapse221]

Can I use my existing camera tripod, or does this require a specific tripod?

[@SamHolland]

Hi. You can use your tripod as long as it can support the weight of your setup bath slider. Thanks for watching. 🤩🙏🏻🎥 hope this helps
