12Jan Konova’s New K5 Slider – Bigger
Konova has one of the most popular roller bearing sliders on the market, and has now made available their new K5 slider which is a slightly larger version. The larger bearings and slightly larger carrier answers the call for supporting heavier payloads. Hopefully I should have a video review of this unit up soon, but i’m just getting back from CES Las Vegas. You can find more images comparing the new K5 against the smaller K3 slider over at the new listing (click here).

I just took delivery of this an hour ago and it’s great! Compared to the Kessler Pocket Dolly “basic”, it seems like such a steal.

I would like to know and see in the video review what your thoughts are on the new K5 Konova slider in comparison to the K3 version. Things like weight, size, portability, smooth rolling, ect .
Thanks Emm

Well this is kinda weird? I ordered the $60 upgraded legs kit to go with my older Konova slider…..instead they sent me this Konova K5 slider. Hmmm must have been a mixup in the shipping department in Korea or something??

I ordered a K3 and received a K5. They told me a new guy sent a a batch of K5s by accident..ha
On the other hand i needed something lightweight, not sure if I should be happy or disappointed, I think the k5 is about 0,5KG heavier..

I also got a K5 when I ordered a K3… Got same reply as JP did. Can someone please chime in to tell us if we got a great deal or if we should request the K5 be exchanged for a K3… I think Im gonna keep the K5, just dont want any weird issues with it being the first generation… Thanks!

Emm does the 100 cm K5 work ok with just one tripod? or are there any operational issues?

@Frank – 39″ is getting a bit long. I have one at 31″ inches and with a good solid tripod it can work, but gets heavy towards the end.
