This motorized camera slider is almost perfect! Zeapon Axis Review. Today we check out one of the coolest pieces of camera gear on the market. The Zeapon Axis 100 Motorized camera slider. It has been a pleasure to use this slider for the last couple of months and I am pumped to continue using it to make videos. I already have so many future plans with this thing!

This was a super informative video, and I think it was just what i needed to see to get me to go ahead and purchase a slider to elevate my work! Great work as always Ben !!
Let’s goooo! 👏 it really will take your work to the next level ngl
Ben, great channel, great vibe! I'm a real estate photographer and looking to upgrade my motion control gear, the Zeapon here looks promising. I have invested some in Edelkron, so jumping ship would be a big change. The tripod support legs are a clever idea, have you thought about sand bagging the tripod to mitigate the tilt over issues? Stability issues would be an instant show stopper for me, I have dropped a camera or two, wasn't pretty.
Thanks man, yeah I have considered sand bags. That is a great idea! The only reason i avoid it personally is just the portability. I’ll be honest after I got that new heavy duty carbon fiber tripod with the thicker legs I have had way less issues with the slider falling over!
Thank you for introducing so much details about this slider!! I really get nervous to get my first slider. I've seen you made a lot of close shots by using this slider, do you think it's stable enough for it? Or do you need to make many adjustments to stablize it in the progress of video editing?
Hey! Thanks for watching. Every once in a while I would need to throw a small amount of stabilization on in editing, but this was very rare. Of all the sliders that I have used (Edelkrone, Ifootage, Rhino) This one is the best when it comes to "micro jitters" as long as you set it up properly. My recommendation would be to get a sturdy tripod, the one in my description is a great option, and make sure to use the support arms provided with the slider. This is where I was able to get the most stable results even with a heavy camera rig and close up shots! Hopefully that helps 😄
@@BenGleasonMedia that's a very useful information! Thanks!!
Any issues with connectivity for longer timelapses? I am in the Edelkrone system currently and the biggest downside is connection drops. The slider will keep going through the end of the move, but the Pan/Tilt heads just dead stop and it jacks the whole timelapse up.
Getting a lot of shake on a lot of my footages (about half or even often) with Zeapon Axis and A7c2. Any idea why this is so and how it can be improved?
The shake is noticeable, not always it can even be corrected by stabilisation in software.
I have run into that issue a couple of times. One reason is because the two stands that I had it on weren’t balanced correctly. Once I switched to the heavy duty tripod i mentioned, it really took away that issue.
The other time I had some jitter or shake is when I was using the tilt head attachment and hadn’t balanced my camera properly on it. Just like a gimbal, you do need to balance and level that tilt head to get the smoothest footage. Kind of frustrating, but can be fixed.
Hey mate, just curious what the view is like for push in shots? Do you have to be super tight to keep the slider out of frame?
Thanks 🙏
Hey man! With the specific length that I have, you will see the end of the track at wider lengths unfortunately. That’s why I recommend the 80cm to minimize that issue.
Is there a way it can slide automatically following the subject in the video?
There is not unfortunately :/
Yea, yea, yea....can we talk about the orange Gretsch? lol
😂 that Orange Gretsch actually has an AWESOME backstory! Maybe I’ll tell it in a studio tour…👀
What's the name of this lens? Must have
The one on the slider? That is the Sirui 35mm f1.8 Anamorphic Lens for Sony
How's the sound from the slider?
Its depend what speed you use. In about half of maximum speed its have noticeable "electric beep" sound. When its max speed or slow speed its more quitter if im remember correct.
I second what @djunn said. It does have some noise at the higher speeds, but 75% or less tends to be much quieter if not even noticeable
лучше скажи как тебе винил на клипш звучат?
You shouldnt mount it on a head, instead screw it directly on the tripod. Then it shouldnt bend :)
Hmmm not a bad idea 👌
If they let you keep the item in exchange for a review make sure you look up your local tax laws. Lots of creators lately getting hit with extra income for this and having to pay taxes on the value of the items they were given in exchange for reviews. 😊
stil out of budget for a 13 jear old
Dang, one day bro 🙏
