Been jerryrigging this kind of setup for a while now on my other slider. Been a minute since I got some gear from iFootage, this is definitely on the wishlist! Thanks for sharing. :D
Thanks mate, I appreciate it! I think a „How I light my RUclips videos“ wouldn’t be very interesting in my case because it’s actually very simple. I use a keylight with 5600 Kelvin 45 degrees in front of my face. Then I have a tubelight just behind me that lights the grey closet a bit. And one more light with 3200 Kelvin that lights the right part of my head from the back.
rando sidenote: glad to have stumbled upon your channel here, just subbed; your content is a great combo of relevant & informative, without a lot of diabolical thumbnails/titles or editing. For those of us that consume a *lot of youtube on non-shoot days, it's channels like this that are a breath of fresh air - great seeing some bright & fun creativity along with some subtle & tasteful graphics, while delivering some insightful details. Looking forward to adding several of your vids to my playlist, keep up the good work!
I seriously want to love this new slider, but just wish there was longer track. ~40cm just limits so many shots. Otherwise, great seeing this new capability unlocked now that it has comms with Ronin. Thanks for the vid!!
In the beginning I thought as well that 40cm might be a bit short, actually I used it for interviews and some product shootings and it worked without any problem. I‘m quite happy with this portable length.
@@RonaldKasper it's good to hear some real-world viability, thanks for the input. I've been working my 1000mm Zeapon pretty hard the last couple years, and have grown accustomed to having a decent travel distance. For the right user, this ifootage probably be a real asset/upgrade. If I didn't rely on motion time lapses so much, I'd likely be more tempted to get this one, but perhaps there is a 'Pro' model around the corner that will increase the travel, while implementing this fantastic gimbal comm tech 🤞 iFootage if you're reading this: a ~$2000 30-40" slider would be wildly popular, and a very 'easy yes' from me and a lot of other filmmakers I know : ] Let me ask you this: is the footage usable when you get to the end points of slider? on mine, in certain situ, will see a little vibration/jitter once it's getting towards the end. it's not all the time, but it's a variable; if the ifootage is usable for 100% of the travel, I would say that's a pretty big win being able to consistantly utilize the entire distance. again, thanks for the info here, i absolutely love a good chat in the YT comments to not only learn more myself, but help those folks out there at 2am with 20 tabs open lol, who are researching and trying to decide where to put those hard-earned dollars 👌
@ Hi! I can definitely say that this slider does not jitter in the endpoints. That’s something I hated on several other sliders (I had a GVM that was horrible) and this one is buttery smooth at the ends when it loups between A and B position several times.
I asked iFootage about that topic: The answer is, it works: "When used with DJI RS2, RS2 Pro, RS3 Pro, RS4, and RS4 Pro, you can achieve precise and dynamic keyframe focus adjustments, enabling smoother transitions."
Hi! Yes of course! I just exported every frame of the video as an image and replaced the original sunglasses with different ones in photoshop. So quite a lot of work for 186 frames but the result looks cool I think.
I just don’t want to push the gimbal around, I feel I have more control with the joystick. Especially when I film myself, I would have to lean forward to the gimbal and destroy my framing.
Hi @@RonaldKasper, thank you for your response. Do you mean that Slider has actually focus menu presets that are eventually sent to the DJI Gimbal? What I am trying to achieve is kind simple: use the length of the Shark nano 2 + DJI Focus motor (setup as zoom function) to maximize the zoom traveling effect. The focus will be automatic from the camera itself.
@ hi! Yes exactly. So if you change the focus with the follow focus, the slider stores these values per position (similar to the other axis positions of the gimbal)
Hi Ronald, nice video ! Is there something in particular to do to get the Ronin connected to the Nano 2 ? I just got a RS4 Pro and a Nano 2, but I can't figure how to make things work. My push mode is activated, the firmwares are updated, I got the communication cable on.. but still nothing happens.. any chance you could help on this please ? thanks so much
Hi! That's strange, have you tried to move the gimbal with the app? Does that work? I do not have the push mode activated, maybe try to deactivate it as well.
@@RonaldKasper Hi Ronald, thanks for you quick answer, much appreciated. The gimbal doesn't move with the ifootage App. I tried to disconnect and connect again the communication cable, but it doesn't change anything. and I don't see the 4 blue pointers on the app, I don't have the tilt option.
Hm. Did you try to switch off the slider completely and leave your gimbal powered ON. Then restart the slider. Maybe it can only connect if there is already an active gimbal attached when it boots up (although I don't have this behaviour)
@@RonaldKasper No I haven't tried this yet ! I sent an email to ifootage, waiting for their answer now. But I think the issue comes from the nano 2, I tried to connect with an old RS2, and it doesnt work either.
Hallo, bin erst jetzt durch Zufall auf Deinen Kanal gestossen. Du hast ja echt klasse Videos. Kurz, leicht verständlich, auf den Punkt gebracht. Super! Ich habe mir dieses Video und das alte Nano Slider Video angesehen. Momentan wird auf einigen Kanälen der Zeapon Micro 3 Slider mit Zubehör gefeiert. Hast Du Dir den schon einmal angesehen? Vorteil ist, dass man bei dem Zeapon keinen Gimbal braucht wie beim Nano 2, wenn man mehr Bewegung bei Produktfilmen haben will. Er erlaubt auch manuelles Benutzung und er trägt deutlich mehr Gewicht. Gibt es beim Nano 2 auch weitere Aufsätze für Vertikalbewegungen ohne Ronin, die einen nicht in den finanziellen Ruin treiben? VG
Hallo! Freut mich, dass du auf meinen Kanal gestoßen bist! Soweit ich weiß gibt es bei iFootage keinen Aufsatz für weitere Achsen. Ich finde aber die Lösung mit dem Gimbal recht elegant, da die meisten Leute ja ohnehin schon einen Slider besitzen. War die perfekte Lösung für mich
I guess they shouldn’t call it „Nano“ anymore then 😂 But honestly i think this size is pretty good for most of the stuff. Interviews, product shoots, and it’s the first time I van use heavy lenses or my FX6 without getting jittery footage. I have an 80cm slider sitting on my shelf that I don’t use at all anymore.
Great Review ! What is the Dji Ronin base plate and connector did you used to the slider or it's all part of the package, I think to get the extra battery too, please let me know if you have any discount code Thanks
I was wondering if you would be able to answer a question about the batter grip as I can't see any information about it anywhere and ifootage customer support don't seem to answer any of my questions. They just keep sending me a link to your video, which is great but doesn't show what I needed to know. Here is what I write to them: The Godox ML100Bi has a normal barrel plug to plug the mains into a wall and also a usb c power socket but doesn't have a usb c cable included with it. What I would need to know though is would the ifootage battery grip supply my light to reach 100% power when using a usb c cable? The light is 120watt and the battery grip is 140watt, so I know the power is there but will it travel through a usb c cable for the light to work at full power if needed? Would I need to purchase a specific usb c cable?
That will depend a lot on how many Volts your light needs for powering it. My Amaran 200x needs 48 Volts but the battery grip can only provide a maximum pf 28 Volts at 5 Ampere. Check if this is enough for your light, I assume it’s not. The Wattage alone is not enough information.
I saw on other reviews, that when the slider/gimbal reaches the end of the motion , there is a complete stop and then like another tiny motion, its the gimbals pan tilt axis that are doing that, did you notice anything like that? ruclips.net/video/RQyi0qLvUAE/видео.htmlfeature=shared&t=37 you can see here at 00:37 it does that. any feedback regarding it?
Hi! That doesn’t happen on my gimbal (although I couldn’t even see what you mean the first time I watched the other video because the movement is very subtle). I use the ronin rs4 pro.
Hi again! I tried the link eu.ifootagegear.com/discount/RONALDKASPER?ref=rnosqgkh and if you add the slider to your cart, you can choose Germany as destination for delivery. It should be no problem. I am from Austria (Servus! 😉) and got it as well without any problems.
@@RonaldKasper thanks a lot ... I would buy it right now if they are shipping to Germany. I wisch you a wonderful day and I would love to see a longer review about it because I still habe like around 10 questions about it and I cant find an answer on the internet. maybe I get my answers when everyone gets it in November. BR
Thank you to the creator that put the time into making this video. I enjoyed it, well done. Oh… I came to RUclips to watch videos not to police requirements I’m not fully informed about
@@genxtechguy I'm calm and I don't police channels, just got used to the fact that most tech channels inform the audience if videos they make were paid or sponsored by the brand, to be honest I didin't see the tiny "Paid sponsorship" mark and thought the video review wasn't fully transparent.
@@RonaldKasper I tried a few different sliders and I rate the Shark highly. They do what they were designed to do, with few flaws. As for the looks... Does it matter? But having said that, I think they look great. Function over form applies here. And great review. Keep up the good work.

@@RonaldKasper that's a pretty big win then, nice nice. keep up the good work m8!
What about the DJI follow focus motor? Can i also use it?
Yes you can but I don’t think that the settings are stored per saved slider position
@RonaldKasper where is the point then? If I can't adjust focus from point a to point b?
I asked iFootage about that topic: The answer is, it works: "When used with DJI RS2, RS2 Pro, RS3 Pro, RS4, and RS4 Pro, you can achieve precise and dynamic keyframe focus adjustments, enabling smoother transitions."
May I ask you to explain how did you do the entry shot? The one with the multiple sunglasses.
Hi! Yes of course! I just exported every frame of the video as an image and replaced the original sunglasses with different ones in photoshop. So quite a lot of work for 186 frames but the result looks cool I think.
@@RonaldKasper Great, many 🙏
@2:19 looks like you're using the joystick on the gimbal to set your keyframe. Is push/pan-tilt not working?
It is working but I don’t like that feature so I never use it.
@@RonaldKasper I don't use that feature usually either. But for this use case it's a significant benefit to the workflow. Why don't you like it?
I just don’t want to push the gimbal around, I feel I have more control with the joystick. Especially when I film myself, I would have to lean forward to the gimbal and destroy my framing.
I have a Jackery 300 im guessing I can use that too huh? also is this the shorter version of the slider?
Yes you can use the Jackery as well. And no, that’s the longer version of the slider.
Can you control the DJI Focus/zoom with Footage Moco app? I can't find any info - Thank you in advance
Hi! I don’t know because I don’t have the dji focus. But the focus positions are stored for each slider position. So that works.
Hi @@RonaldKasper, thank you for your response.

Hi! It‘s all in the package, you don’t need any extra stuff. The 10% discount code is im the video description. Should apply to the battery as well!
@@RonaldKasper Thank you !
Thanks for the review. Do you think the larger version is large enough for interviews? It seems like the travel range is quite limited.
I already filmed two interviews with it. Turned out great, the travel range was enough for my needs, didn’t even use the whole one.
@@RonaldKasperlink?
@@TheSenatePod Link for what?
the interview. would love to see the set up!
I saw a lot of jitter in other review videos. Did you find this in your video?
No not at all. Even with the heavier FX6 I couldn’t notice any problems at any speed.
compatible avec le RS2 PRO?
Yes it is.
Please, finally tell me if it also works with the dji focus motor. Will it save the focus positions so I can use manual lenses?
Sorry, I can‘t tell you, I don’t have the focus motor
Wondering, does it still have the pan adjustment like the older nano? Without the gimbal?
Yes it it does, it can do all the old nano could, and a ton more 😉
@@RonaldKasper i think the old one was more compact and still had pretty good travel distance due to different construction?
Cooles Teil, sollte ich jetzt zum Filmen beginnen
Besser gestern als heute 😉
What’s the oldest dji ronin gimbal I can use. I have an s and a sc collecting dust right now.
It‘s compatible with the DJI Rs2, RS3 Pro, RS4 and RS4 Pro
