Pro Media Gear DUO 24' Motorized Slider Review

Our full review of the Pro Media Gear DUO 24" Motorized Slider on LensVid:

From the article:
We are going to get back to our tripod and head review series in the next few weeks but before we do that we have a few other products to review that we got well before Photokina 2016 and the one we shall look at today is a motorized slider by the Illinois based company Pro Media Gear.

Since we started reviewing products here on LensVid around two and a half years ago and even more so since we started working on our vegan food channel a few months ago, finding ways to add production value to our videos has become increasingly important. One of the most versatile accessories that we tested and are still using extensively in this respect is the Syrp Genie mini which allows us to create smooth continuous turning movement with our camera - or - even more useful for some of our product filming - rotating the product itself.

The next step is being able to move the camera forwards and backwards. We tested our first slider on LensVid about a year and a half ago - it was the square slider by the Korean manufacturer com.PACT. To be honest the slider that we got was not really ready for the market, however the Pro Media Gear slider that we are going to look at today is something completely different and by far one of our favorite accessories of 2016.

Excellent video and practical review of this motorized slider. You sold me as it's exactly what I needed. It was also helpful that you showed its inability to carry a full body dslr up at a steep angle, I suspected that may be the case. Will just have to do a light manual assist on that type of shot. Thumbs UP and thanks so much.

Thanks for the review. I could use a curved slider for product videos. I may try this one after pmg puts out a new model (Dec they say). I am skeptical any motorized slider will be jitter-free

Which cameras and lenses did you use to test the uphill steep angles? That issue right there is the deal breaker for me, so I'd love to know how much weight you put on it when using that angle. I can look the weights up if you list the gear. Thank you so much for this review!! New subscriber, and I'd love to see your Vegan food channel too :)
