Do ever see your self wanting to go in for a slow push to prevent a boring static shot or do a push-pull to get that sudden effect that your talent has realized something new to advance the plot. A camera slider is an amazing device that is great for settle movements, a simple push in and graceful pull away from you subject. A camera slider is a great alternative when the budget or the space is not available to use the bulkiness of a normal dolly. A camera slider is usually a thin and some what long device that can be put on the floor, table or tripod and rest a camera on its sliding plate to be similar of a dolly on a track.
Camera sliders are very simple to use, put your camera slider on a table the floor or on your tripod, and depending on the size tripods. Next is to put the camera on a 1/8mm screw which is used on many camera for support or on the quick release if available then move the camera on the rails and there you go a cheap and easy to use Dolly all basic designs.
The best thing about the slider is the price and the fact it as not that hard to make, here is a slider for under $200 Amazon and a video from my favorite YouTube channel “Indy Mogul” (a Volg on how to enhance your film making.)
