At NAB2103 Konova announced two new video camera sliders to extend the product line of roller bearing video sliders. The smaller K1 roller bearing slider is now even more portable to address the smaller compact video cameras that are becoming increasingly more popular. The K1 is now the most affordable roller bearing video slider in [...]

Here’s an interesting video that Nitsan has shared to help smooth out your video slider movements. By using the Konova Slider with Crank Handle Kit (seen here), a weight is added in place of the Crank Arm. The momentum of the spinning weight prevents jerky movements or harsh stop/starts. As mentioned in the video, it’s [...]

I just received a few boxes containing various parts from Konova’s Smart Motion Controller for the Konova Video Sliders. Konova offers various motors with different speeds along with a couple of different Motion Controller options. You can choose to move your camera a bit faster for real time video capture, or super slow across the [...]

Vimeo member Jayhas couldn’t wait for Konova to release a faster motor for it’s motorized upgrade kit, so he took it upon himself to add his own. Here’s a comparison of the original Konova Motorized Pulley System with slow motor and a 60rpm gear motor mounted to a DIY slider. Watch the top portion of [...]

Another new roller bearing video camera slider takes place on the market. This one is coming from F&V, which is the same company to release the popular Z96 LED Video light. Full roller bearings, folding legs, rubberized feet, and comes with travel bag.

Looks like a solid build, but with Konova’s recent Crank Pulley and [...]

Konova threw up a few Timelapse teasers of their Motorized upgrade kit a few days ago. With a motorized attachment, you will definitely get more consistent movement time and time again as opposed to operating by hand. One con of course is the added noise from said motor.
With all the questions coming around, I thought [...]

Wondlan seems to be on a roll with releasing products, but not so much when it comes to pricing them against already successful existing products on the market. This time they are offering a new DV Mini Slider Rail (not really mini), so far in lengths of 80cm and 100cm (32 inches & 39 inches). [...]

I don’t know exactly when it happened, but it happened. Although i’m a big fan of the Konova slider, I always wished they had a smaller version than 31″. At 31″ inches, that was just a little bit too long to pack in some of my bags when traveling. So recently they just started listing [...]

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 [...]

Here’s a first look at the changes in the newest design Konova K-Slider – Video Camera Dolly. For some excellent examples of the old version in use, check out Olivia’s video (click here).
The most noticeable changes are with the new adjustable feet / legs. The ends of the slider have also been slightly changed [...]

The Konova K Slider DSLR video camera slider has been extremely popular for DSLR video shooters, but keep in mind that was only their first release. They were bound to find a way to make things even better. Konova has now changed a few things and I have in my hands the latest iteration.

Vimeo member C Light gives us a better look at the components involved to assemble the DIY motion controlled Konova Slider. Looks like a continuous servo, servo speed controller, and some clever pulley placements. The Konova is a full bearing slider, so it takes very little effort to slide even heavy camera set ups. This [...]

Nice little DIY to motorize a Konova slider. Using a continuous Servo (some servos don’t rotate continuously) and Servo controller Vimeo member C Light gives us a sneak peek at work in progress. Servos are more common with slow speed rotations than DC motors. You could probably bring this thing to a very very slow [...]

Using the GoPro in odd ways. DIY suction mount to the hood of a car, on a monopod as a Golf Putter, and did you know it fits perfectly inside a Golf Hole? Playing with the Konova Camera Slider out on the course. Just total randomness and plain fun.

Pricing is about the same, maybe a few bucks cheaper. Video review from OliviaTech.com [Thanks Olivia]
