Motorized Slider you should check out NOW

Link updated
Amazon now have this slider in stock with all options available. Price is the same.

Konova P1 KMS-S3 Wireless camera slider is an affordable yet super smooth and silent motorized camera slider. It's built out of aluminum and carbon fiber and can be controlled with a smartphone app. Instead of a weird generic remote.

The KMS-S3 motor can handle payloads up to 17lbs or 10kg while the P1 slider itself can handle camera rigs up to 22lbs/10kg if you want to operate the slider manually.
On top of it's regular video features there's also time laps features with camera triggering and much more for astro photographers and time lapse shooters alike.

This slider does the job, but it's very rudimentary in terms of the app controls. I have the old version, with the KMS-S2 motor and controller, the problem is that it doesn't really affect my shutter speed on my Sony A6400. It shoots the picture, but not at the slider shutter speed, but my camera shutter speed. I tried changing the values but it does nothing, the A6400 still shoots at the settings i selected on the camera. I always set up the camera in manual mode and set my shutter speed, ISO and focus manually. The only thing that works is the duration.

Also, no one mentions this but to set up the points A and B, the slider head needs to be on the left so it has enough travel to go to the right to get to your desired point B. If the slider head is at the far right end, and you set up point A, it doesn't allow you to move the slider head to the left, only to the right, essentially putting your point B in the same spot as your point A, so zero travel basically.

It also does not save your last slider head position into memory. When you turn the slider on you always have to set up both point A and point B first, and then you can do other things.

The navigation on the S2 device is very limited. Once you enter a submenu you cannot go back up one level, to the main menu. You have to turn the controller off and turn it on again, set up points A and B... At least in the app you can browse through the different screens easily.

Just wanted to share so people know.

I own the Konova P1 KMS-S3, good slider and happy with with it overall performance, but lacking in certain areas, and fined some issues, when it comes to vertical shot you can not use the motor as the base cannot hold the camera in place and drops downward only way to use it you have do it by hand, 2nd if you mount the camera on the center base mount, it has flexing on either side downward and can be seen while shooting, for best results you need tripods or stabilizer arms to remove the flexing on side. 3. The software is not available on the app store and if you change you phone or loose your phone, you struggle to get the the software and it takes Konova, in my case after 3rd email to sort it out. I see has launched a new Slider which has fixed many of the iusses of the Konova P1 KMS-S3 and updated to the Konova G1 Wireless Motorized Intergrated Carbon Slider, plus the price is onlt $269 including free shipping, this is a very good deal imho .

[pixelsab]

Bra och informativt film av dig! Bra jobbat Thomas!

[drawingsbyjacob]

Hi Thomas, thank you for this video. Because of you I’d like to get one. May I please ask what the gear is that mounts between the slider and the camera (the piece of equipment with the handle) and if you used any extra hardware to mount your slider to a tripod? Thank you 🙂

[tnacrew]

does this have the middle dead space when using the parallax bar like the GVM sliders were notorious force?

[happyharryart]

Thx for ya review, first! The „bump“ in traversal mode comes from what? From slider or one of your parts?

[pabloromano]

Hello! great review and info. Is this Slider useful for taking a motion control style shot? Greetings from Argentina

[DarshanGajjarFilms]

When doing interviews with this slider, does the subject/interviewe need to be close to the camera or can you adjust the parallax so it rotates to fit how far the person is? Thinking of shooting interviews with long lenses like 85mm/100mm full frame with paralax

[photog.prince]

By adjusting the middle rod will I be able to keep my subject within the rule of thirds for an interview setup?? Or will I need to buy the motorized head for that type of shot?

[PaulAntonescu]

Hey great video! Could you use it vertically?

[thetravelingfoodies]

do you control the slider using an app

[lipc]

At 5´20" parallax the camera shakes twice!
