Sliding & panning - first day with the indiSLIDERpro

My newest toy has arrived... :) http://www.indifocus.com

A (24 inch) indiSLIDERpro with fluid head came in the mail and I took it for a fast spin. I'm very pleased with it, especially because all I had before was a tripod with a head for still photography. Doing any fancy movements with something like that is kinda' hard.

My newest problem is how to slide, pan and focus at the same time :D

Pricewise, this must be my best investment so far... I got the 'short' version of the indiSLIDERpro (at 24 inches), since the longer one will demand a very sturdy tripod. I'm still using my small (but very flexable) Velbon Ultra LUXi L tripod. It should be fine for now.

There's no Magic Bullet Looks in this just a little extra contrast and some sharpening. I had my HG10 on manual exposure to avoid the sky from burning out (exposure turned down a bit). The graduated Cokin P filter also helped.

hi there ,,

i have some cokin filters but i dont know how to use the fstop for each filter.

Can you explain it detail....

Thanks ,,,

I'm not too sure about what you meen. There is no relation between f-stop (aperture) and filters. Generally, any filter can be used at any f-stop.

This was a first test. See my 'Dovnsklint' video for more indiSLIDERpro footage...

The shots could have been more interesting, though it sure does look amazing.

It took them four days to send me an order confirmation and about 14 days in total before it arrived at my door. Shipping was only about 3-4 days, though - FedEx or UPS, I believe. I think it might be a one man company. He seemed to be quite busy.

I got mine straight from the website indifocusDOTcom (USA). Just remember that you'll have to pay extra for customs and Dutch taxes...

Hi and thanks. The music is by the Danish folk / electronica band Valravn - credits are at the end of the video.

A similar band would be Sorten Muld. Valravn also play more traditional folk music under the name Virelai.

You can see and hear more of the music I listen to at lastDOTfm/user/bergholdt

by the way, i watched couple of your videos. You're absolutely a genius! All your videos are great, especially the choosing of background music! I really love the music you used in your videos. Do you have any music recommendation (like the one you used in this video)?
