Neewer Carbon Slider Review - Great Budget Slider

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Hello guys! I just created a new video about a special video slider: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6CUYXqNfc-joMk

[@Globalfoodbook1]

Thank you so much for the clear illustration. This is indeed the video I'd been searching for.

[@BakeLikeAPro]

Hi there, thanks for your excellent product review. I really enjoyed it. I must of watched 5 bad videos until I came across yours. Thanks for taking the time to go into so much detail. The only thing I wished to know, is how the bottom piece that attaches to the tripod is held onto the rails ? ... it must be screwed in.... I only wished you had turned the slider over to show us that. Anyway, thank you ! 👍

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks you so much for your detailed comment. I just did some quick photos for you, let me know if it answers your question: imgur.com/a/aigu8LE

I signed in just to leave a comment, This was a beautiful review, keep making more!!!!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Wow, i really thank you for your nice comment :)

[@testingouttoday]

Great video. Was looking for a video slider for my next camping and hiking trip. This one seems will do the job for me. I have been happy with other Neewer products I have brought in the past.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Neewer really stepped up their game recently. Why do you want a slider for a hiking / camping trip if I may ask?

[@authunhx3129]

I think the 1/4" is good for small ball heads like the Joby. It makes the system very light if you are using micro four thirds.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Valid point!

[@eril2025]

2 stands are needed, or the weight of the camera will bend the rails down as they go further away from the center, tilting your horizon. This is a fact for all sliders, above 80 cm. This one is somewhat bumpy (maybe for a BMPCC 4K weight), so I returned, and now I am about to get something else.

[@ExplorerMedia]

great video bro! much better review than many of those high end film makers!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks mate, really appreciate your comment! I am not really fan of these extremly "flashy" reviews like a lot of people create. Even though, my audio setup was shit back then :D My new review videos improved quite a bit in that regard. Have a nice day!

[@chaswarrior7507]

Bought one on your recommendation and seems great. Thank you very much for a great straight easy to follow review!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks for your comment :) Wish you a lot of fun with that slider!

[@AdamasMst]

"Yes, my floor is uneven" :-) I was actually thinking of getting that one!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Luckily I moved since then :D Get it, is a good slider.

[@alderny]

Your review is well made and very informative. Best I've seen on the Neewer carbon track system, which does look like it is the best budget slider available at present. Well done.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

I thank you very much for your kind comment :) Greetings from Austria!

[@ADCFproductions]

Damn man, that ending was smooth!! pretty cool, thanks! the screw thing is because that way you can attach a small phone tripod, and all those tiny things. if you need for a big ball head, you use the adapter. it kind of makes sense since you can't use an adapter to reduce the size of the screw! :D

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thank you!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Fair point. I was not really thinking about small tripods, because I thought that everybody would use a big one anyway. But so you can both, better for everyone!

[@justafrenchkidtryingtospea9462]

Thank you man good review. But you sounds like you're done with life. Is everything ok at home?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Haha, no everything is perfectly fine :D There are two explanations for that: My audio setup was shit at that time, and my voice sounds completely different when I speak English and not German.

[@r335]

Lmao

[@ADCFproductions]

sacré bleu!! Que demonios has hablado, i thought the same thing. XD

[@NikitizLoryn1]

Do you suggest, in matter of rigidity while moving the camera towards the ends, an aluminum or a carbon fiber one?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

The material normally doesnt matter that much in my experience. There are good carbon sliders and aluminium sliders out there. Just use rigid tripods and a good (heavy) tripod head for good stability/support. I just uploaded a new video about a different slider, you may want to check it out :)

[@NikitizLoryn1]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY I will. Thanks!

[@roger_001]

Excellent review! I think I will get one but I'm looking also one with motor to slide since most of the time I film myself working alone. Any suggestions on one not that expensive? Or you recommend me to start with this? Again, great video!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks for your comment! It really depends on the money you want to spend. There are certain slider system that can be upgraded later on with a motor. So you could start without one, and then upgrade to one if you notice that you need one. But these systems are normally really expensive. If you already know that you are going to need a motorized slider for sure, then I would pull you in this direction: amzn.to/2mRpdlR

[@roger_001]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY thanks a lot for the answer! That slides looks so awesome, more expensive but definitely closer to what I need. I'll check it out.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@roger_001 No problem, i am here to help! Wish you a lot of fun with the slider

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Hey Toby. Thanks for this review. Just what I was looking for. Great shots, too!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Very unOfficial Travel Guides Thanks a lot! I hope you are going to be happy with it :)

[@fmesj]

Hi, Where you order that camera holder to hold the sony a6300 to the slider..Please send me the link.thanks.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Do you mean the tripod head? You just can by any typical tripod head: amzn.to/2Pv0crR If you mean the cage, that would be this one: amzn.to/2PeVWfA

[@kuamhea]

Awesome video man! I've just bought that same slider and it works perfect for me! The thing is that all my tripods are shitty and I'm looking to get a Manfrotto one but I'm on a budget. What model is that tripod you are using on the video? Thanks!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Thanks for your nice comment! I just put links to my tripod in the description of the video. The tripod that i am using is really solid, but certainly not cheap. What is your budget? I could recommend something to you if you want, just tell me your budget.

[@kuamhea]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY Right now I could bid up to USD$100 on an eBay auction for a used one, but I'll be able to invest more than that in a couple of months. Thank you so much and I'll really appreciate if you recommend me something to get stable shots. My best current slider is all shaky, is it because it's all made of plastic? It works really well when I pan with my fluid head mounted on but I want to get better results with my slider.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@kuamhea Is your current slider setup quite light? Some weight helps a lot. Which camera do you use? But yes, the plastic material is more flexible, and therefore the slider becomes more shaky. A good / well made tripod will last you your life time. If the Manfrotto one is too expensive for you I would pull you in the direction of the Vanguard brand: amzn.to/2EWQhWM They are a great alternative to manfrotto

[@yingyang3321]

great will get one of those, i got a simular tripod from manfrotto as yours, looks decent, for the few times i use it i guess it's a great compromise to get this! thanks for the review

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

i thank you for your comment :)

[@yingyang3321]

YOU'R WELCOME JUST ORDERED YESTERDAY, I AM CURIOUS !

[@tammyjuckiewicz463]

Is this the 80cm? Also will this fit on any tripod?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

This one is the 100cm version. Yes, it will fit on any tripod as it both offers 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threads. Depending on your tripod this setup is more or less stable.

[@MotownShow]

Great informative video, thank you 😊

[@shueibdahir]

Does this slider support a fluid head?

[@GilbertTV]

I want one ... your footage sold me

[@godspeedjourneys2661]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY So the question is, are you still using this slider 2 years later? Or have you upgraded to something else? 🙂

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@godspeedjourneys2661 Since I own a good Gimbal, I didnt really use the slider anymore, so I sold it.

[@zfranklin4231]

Can you put a tripod on both sides?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Yes you can!

[@jaseyolstat932]

Can I mount a manfrotto befree tripod on the 60cm version?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Jasey Olstat Do you mean the beefree head onto the slider oder the slider on the tripod? The head is going to work flawlessly on the slider. The tripod will work too, but is eventually to light for good balance

[@jenishkrish]

Awesome review !! Please tell can use this with fotopro s3 tripod?? Please tell me!!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

I just googled your tripod and didnt find any photos/video where the head was unscrewed. But im pretty sure you can unscrew it, so it would work perfectly. If you already have the tripod, just test it yourself if you can remove the head. If a 3/8 screw (or 1/4 screw) is sticking out, then the slider is going to work.

[@jenishkrish]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY i cant remove dude.i can only make the tripod head upside down.i cat remove it separately!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@jenishkrish Thats very unfortunate, then you would need to buy another tripod.

[@jenishkrish]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY 😓but why.can i screw it where i mount my camera??

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@jenishkrish You can, but im brette sure its going to be quite wobbly as it is only a quarter inch screw and your place only has a small surface area where the slider can sit on. And then you would need to buy another head for the slider anyway

[@fitzhomestudio1306]

I just bought this slider but the screw doesnt fit where can i get the screw

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Which screw does not fit?

[@FennessyMusic]

You bought that cast iron teapot in flying tiger

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Haha, nope :D I bought it on Amazon

[@FennessyMusic]

@@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY those bastards are buying from tiger and selling 😂 just bought this slider from Amazon though 🙌

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

@@FennessyMusic Haha, you are probably right! I wish you fun with the slider

[@ParaagonFilms]

How do you recommend attaching the camera to the slider?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

Just with a typical ball head. Or, if you want to achieve even better results, you could get yourself a fluid video head. Hope thats helps you :)

[@WhosCallum]

Great review Toby!

[@RobJorg]

uneven floor,. LOL. love that kind of humor. just wondering if you cant use this slider as a base for a automated slider setup.

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

You cant imagine how i hated that floor, especially for doing anything video/photo related. Luckily I now live in a different flat :D There are not any "out of the box"-compatible sets to make the slider motorized, you need to do it yourself. I know of a guy who did that, so it is possible.

Great review. Newer makes some quality products for a good affordable price.

[@diam8749]

I’ve been searching for someone to show how they use it vertically. No videos yet...

[@sameerc7277]

How did you attach your slider to 2 tripods(if you have)? There is this screw that gets in the way of me putting the quick release plate on. Great video btw!

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

I dont really understand your problem with a quick release plate? The slider offers on both ends two threads. So it is pretty simple to attach multiple tripods.

[@sameerc7277]

That's ok, I fixed the problem. There was a screw attaching the two poles and it got in the way of my quick release plate. My plate is just really big.

[@backslashio]

thanks, almost bought the bad version without the 2 separate poles! luckily the same 60cm length was only $8 more have you seen Neewer's official youtube video on the cheap version? the test results at the end were laughable!

[@thesunnystudio1388]

does it supports a heavier camera like a Canon 6D with a 24-70 lens?

[@LICHTCATCHINGTOBY]

The Sunny Studio For a flat surface it sure does, if you use a good tripod head as well. But i would suggest using 2 tripods when you do not want to use the slider just on the ground

[@thesunnystudio1388]

Thank you!

Great video and camera setup but your bed on the damn floor. Box spring and rails cost $100 but you got a camera slide sleeping on a thin mattress

you can't fall off the bed if you sleep on the floor my friend, remember that. Besides, his bed isn't actually on the floor.

What do you mean? How much weight you can put on the slider? Actually quite a lot, so even a small cinema camera shouldnt be a problem. As long as you use good tripods
