A few cents for smooth pans

An oldie but goodie. Never seen it before. Should also great in combination with a slider so you don't get those jerky starts or stops.

Extra install instructions for new Konova Slider

Just received some install adjustment instructions for the new Konova slider. Apparently this does not ship with the 4 bearing slider, at least it didn't with mine. So for all you new Konova slider owners, just print or copy and paste the jpeg.
Obviously they didn't get to printing the new set of instructions yet, neither did they employ a translator. (Except for 'Good' and 'Bad') But hey, considering the economic shift to the East, maybe we should all take up Korean and Chinese. That's a market of 1,5 billion people- 20% of the world's population, and growing.. Can you imagine the amount of movies that are just waiting to be produced?

The Konova slider - new and improved

DE NIEUWE SLIDER MET 4 KOGELLAGERS

DE OUDE SLIDER MET 3 LAGERS

Ik heb de nieuwe uitvoering van de Konova slider uitgeprobeerd. De nieuwe slider heeft 4 kogellagers tegenover 3 in de vorige uitvoering. Kort samengevat: het verschil in beeldkwaliteit is niet zichtbaar maar ik denk wel dat je een steviger produkt krijgt voor hetzelfde geld. De lagers zijn toch onderhevig aan flink wat slijtage, met name als je zwaardere camera's gebruikt, en dan is zo'n extra kogellager heel erg fijn om te hebben.
