R RED ROBOT Apr 23, 2013 #1 Hello I was looking at cheap sliders when I saw Sevenoak SK-GT01 . At first I thought this would be the worst slider ever made ,but then I saw some test footage and it looked pretty good . So I was wondering if I should get one . What do you think >

David.rhsc Apr 23, 2013 #2 It's basically another variation of an Igus linear rail used as a camera slider: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=igus They're ok, for what they are, but the "drylin" tends to get sticky over time - meaning that you'll find unwelcome, variable, drag. They are best used if you are just placing the camera itself on there, additional weight can make the stickiness worse. It's a love/hate thing. I love them for their portability and low cost, I hate operating them though.
