The Shark Slider Nano. It's a compact and motorized slider with 2 axis of movement. It's only 16 inches long yet can move the camera up to almost twice that length when mounted on a tripod because of the opposing moving baseplate. Setting up a motorized shot with the Shark Slider Nano is very quick. You attach it to a tripod or if setting it up on the ground you can use the adjustable legs to get it level. Then you put the battery in. The slider accepts Sony NPF style batteries. You can also power it using an external power source like a battery bank by connecting it to the USB-C port. Make sure to disable the slider lock before starting the unit. Then long press the power button to turn it on. Once the slider powers up it will go through an initial calibration process. You will be able to see how far along the calibration is by looking at the display.
The slider actually has a touch screen that you can use to control it. It’s very responsive and easy to use. You can also use the iFootage Moco app to control the slider remotely but honestly I prefer not having to rely on a phone. So this touch screen that they included in the slider is the best thing ever. Wish every motorized slider had this.
You can pick if you want to do video, timelapse or stop motion. You can also adjust different settings in here. To do a motorized slider move just press the Quick Start option and then press both the power and function buttons (Fn). This will enter the quick gesture learning mode which makes setting up various moves very fast. You literally put the camera in the position and pan angle you want then press the A button to confirm that as your keyframe. Then move the camera to the other position and press the B button and confirm it by pressing OK. After that you can select if you want to swap the two points or if you want the move to loop indefinitely. Then press origin. The slider will go to it’s first position. Now you are ready to start recording.
You can of course stop the camera move at any point and adjust it’s speed. You select how many seconds you want the slider to move from point A to point B. Or you can again press the power and function buttons so you can quickly setup a new move. It’s very simple and fast. This is perhaps what I love the most about this slider. You don’t have to fumble with your phone, or learn some complex ways to setup a camera move. You literally just put the camera where you want it to be and set that as one of the positions. That’s it.
The slider can carry a camera and lens combo of up to 3.5kg when it’s in the desktop mode and up to 2.5kg when mounted on a tripod. You can use the slider in a vertical position to create crane-like shots. In this setup the weight limit is 2kg.
The motors are so quiet they are virtually silent. So there’s no need to worry about sound. The slider also uses smooth, three phase brushless DC motors. Combined with the 32-bit, high precision floating point arithmetic processing chip, this slider produces very smooth shots even when using it in a macro setup on a 105mm lens. It’s always smooth regardless if you are moving at both slow and fast speeds.

Hi Tom. Actually I saw a prototype demo of this slider more than a year ago and it's been so long on their waiting list that I had totally given up on the idea that they would eventually actually release it. But finally, it seems it's here and looking awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@Romafedorov]

Do you have to use a fluid head on top of it for panning shots or you can use a ball head ?

[@jaypwilsonjr]

Came for the review... . . . . Stayed for that funky music!!!

Tom, thanks hugely much for excellent video! I am now decided on this method of sliding! 💛🙏🏼

[@Mike0193Azul]

Looks so awesome and fun to use! I do wish there was a non-nano size for it though so that I could get more range and weight limit from it

[@SimpleSandalsMedia]

What a fantastic review!!! Thank you, Tom. This slider is very high on my wishlist.

[@RichardSites]

Great video and I see you are a fellow coastal Floridian!

4:15 you say "its smooth" and right now image stutter a LOT...

[@penelopetech]

I see that u see the komodo k5 head. I was wondering whats the tripod u using at the end? Want to get a secure one as afraid of equipment being damaged.

[@sutv6754]

Thank you Tom, For a long time now I've been learning a great deal from your channel. I just picked up the slider. Great review you made here. My question is this. Can I tilt the head while it is sliding and panning. I've reached out to ifootage support several times over that last 2 weeks and they are absent. Please let me know.

[@BrilliantBatgirl]

Is this shown with a motorized head? If so, is it included with the slider?

[@OlegKorzun]

you say (1:00 min) that the slider can move twice the 16 inch, which is not true, on a tripod it moves only to 32 cm vs. 20 cm on a desk top

[@winecountryfilms1]

Thanks for the review Tom but where can I buy the model that you reviewed?

[@davidp158]

Thanks for the review Tom. Can you describe how smooth the change in direction is in continuous looping mode? Does the slider remain consIntent with its panning in looping mode over time?

[@OliKember]

Very handy, thanks!

[@LOVddmp]

why is it only available for pre order? when will it be availble?

[@iFootageInternational]

The Nano will begin shipping in January 2021

[@JaredRibic]

I have the original Shark Slider and I think I'm going to sell it and replace it with this one. I'm doing lots of solo work and a motorized slider is a must for shooting interviews so that's next on my list!

[@konstapelwalander]

Great review, and this looks great! Even smaller than the shark slider mini and I only want 2 axis anyway. But do you think it will work with the pan/tilt head from shark slider mini? cHEERS

[@TomAntos]

You can for sure mount the pan/tilt head but dont think the Moco app for controlling this slider will work in controlling the pan/tilt head.

[@konstapelwalander]

@@TomAntos Yeah that was what I was expecting :P Thanks for getting back to me Tom! Cheers

[@VisiVisuals]

Not the smoothest when shooting macro, could it be fixed in post? or maybe firmware update

[@mokordofani1652]

The slider is great but the payload is disappointing 😥

[@Chinois]

I mean, let's be honest, if you're looking for a slider in this price range, you're probably not gonna have a rig that's heavier than its payload. If you do need something more heavy duty, get the Edelkrone.

[@mokordofani1652]

@@Chinois i am comparing this to the Micro 2 Slider which is the same price range and can handle 4.5KG payload horizentally and vertically :)

[@AustralianImage]

I bought the Zeapon Micro 2 slider before the motor became available and found it to be the smoothest slider I've ever owned (have two others) and recently got the motor addition. With the motor and app, the slider becomes a completely different entity. It doesn't have the panning capability, but I think that's going to happen soon. Given the load capacity etc advantages of the Zeapon, if you were considering a slider, it would pay to have a look at the Zeapon Micro 2.

[@benho2078]

Same here, looking forward to the pan and tilt function to be released from zeapon

[@benoitlandot5475]

Thanks for the review Tom. How does it compare to the Shark Slider Mini ?

[@TomAntos]

Its not as modular as the mini and you can't extend the length of this slider like you can with the mini. Also the mini has pan and tilt head. This slider only does pan moves and the slide. But what is way better is ease of use, plus it sets up a lot faster than mini or any other motorized slider. Its also the smoothest slider I've use. Even when shooting on long telefoto or macro lenses.

[@benoitlandot5475]

@@TomAntos Crystal Clear. I was wondering about macro lens use and set up time. You answered my questions. From what I have seen,g ood results can only be achieve on the mini by using IBIS or other stabilisation. Thank you Tom!

500 is ridiculous for such a small slider. I’ll just take a book as a dolly instead lmao

[@konstapelwalander]

What motorized 2 axis slider is 500 USD?

[@rodferdows1178]

when you do paid to do commercial shoots, a 500 dollar slider is no big deal. However, for your average consumer, it is a bit expensive for what it is. And for 500, I certainly wouldn't buy a mini size.

lmaooooo

[@petrub27]

but all you can do is parallax

[@fredriksvard2603]

That's a lot. Similar ones only go pan in one direction unless you get optional pan/tilt heads.

cant carry much weight ...shame

[@snax_4820]

Sliders are one of the most expensive ways to waste money. And by the way: any slider above 50USD is a ripoff.

Automatic sliders save you so much time. And time is money. Especially with good autofocus / or focus motor
