Konova DSLR Slider Review

Before I start in on the review I want to tell you about my little DIY dolly because before I had it I thought it would be the answer to all my slider needs. Well it wasn't and I don't use it that often, there are two reasons, speed of setup and smooth surfaces. For me I like to move fast from slider move to slider move and using the dolly on a large long board is just not what I call fast for set up time. Also a board does not work well on a board unless it is really smooth, this works best on glass or like a Formica counter top.
I tell you this because the Konova slider is much faster to setup, especially in many different configurations.
Over the past couple of years a lot of sliders made for DSLR's have come out and a lot of them are really expensive and out of the reach of many amateurs.
Basically there are two types of sliders, the less expensive friction sliders that use something smooth like Teflon, and the more expensive roller bearing type that can be very expensive. That is where this Konova slider is different, it has roller bearings and it is around the same price as the friction based sliders.

@ItsDanielDuane - I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Check out the Manfrotto 222 joystick model.

Will this work with any tripod? I don't have a professional or very expensive tripod so would it still work?

@MsRustyMitten it will with any decent tripod, check out my gear page for what I use.

Can you recommend a good tripod to use with the Konova slider? I have the 1m version and I got the Weifeng WF-7171H ballhead. All is great but I'd love to find a sturdy tripod that I can also use the same kind of shoe mount.

@joejumps4fun I like the tripod I have listed on my gear page, not light weight but great for a tall guy like me.
