Insane value for money
This is a well constructed and easy to use motorised slider. It comes with everything you see in the photos plus a nice soft case. The low price tag of this product surpasses any small imperfections that you may find.I purchased the 60 cm version so that i can carry this everywhere i am going. It has a very small footprint and It's almost dead silent so you can definetely use this in interviews. 100% speed is enough for every video application.The controller is very basic but gets the job done and the instructions are straight forward. You have to set the start and end position every time you switch this on, but on the other hand it takes just a moment to set this up, unlike other much more expensive solutions.I haven't tested the Time Lapse function yet but overall i am very happy with this product.

Worth a look for sure!
My initial review of this slider was somewhat unfavourable. I was having issues with the vibration of the tracking band when going over 75% speed.Having taken a second look after a chat with the seller, i’m over the moon at the now improved results. The original unit I had came with the band that wasn’t quite tight enough, causing it to jump around mid track. Having just tightened the belt very slightly (using a simple screw driver) the slider performs very very well.The remote still feels very over sized for the job it does, but it works in practice fantastically. Packaging and travel case are both spot on too, and feel expensive when actually not being that expensive at all.The slider has little to no operating noise, so if you were using for say, and interview or talking head spot, you’d not go too far wrong with a mic being 3-6 feet away from the camera slider.Overall, great product, and so pleased I took a second look!

Does what it says it does, and pretty well.
The slider is well made and great value for money. The remote may not be the most pleasant to look at but does the job well. Only criticism is you have to setup the start and end points every time you turn it on , otherwise the carriage will keep going and eventually damage the motor. So no memory function. Well packaged and comes with a case, so that’s a bonus. 9 out of 10 from me

Does not have panorama / track focus
Edited: Review updated from 1 star to 3 stars. This product was previously incorrectly advertised by GVM as having track focus and panoramic shooting. GVM only has these features on other more expensive models. This caused a great deal of inconvenience to me as i only discovered this after purchasing this slider.Upon contacting seller however, i was dealt with immense respect and after noticing this error the seller also confirmed that since then they have updated the information on this product. It no longer mentions track focus or panoramic shooting, and is now accurate.Apart from this issue i can confirm that the slider is very well made. Lightweight yet robust. For anyone looking to capture simple automated slide shots without panoramic shooting or track focus, this is perfect! If you're looking for the above features, by the 80-D variant or higher.

Returned it in the end…
UPDATE:I originally wrote a nice review of it as I was very pleased with the item. After using it for a few weeks I’ve had several issues with it.1, The sliding was not as smooth as I needed it and the jerky movement destabilised my videos.2, The controls were awkward to use3, The slider itself was not as stable as you’d need it to be. Had to use extra weight to weight it down.Overall I would definitely go for something more robust and well built. Even returning it is a pain as it’s in a massive box. Still waiting for refund after 1.5 week.ORIGINAL:I never had one of these before so I can’t really compare it to other brands.I use it with my phone to make my videos look more professional for social media. So far so good.It took me a while to set it up as it wasn’t as straightforward as I hoped. But once we’ve gone through the usual “watch a YouTube tutorial” hoops it was all set and ready to go.My phone is not heavy so it’s pretty stable for what I need it for. The sliding is smooth and easily controlled.All in all I’m pretty happy with it and will be using it for a while!

Constructed with top materials and great value.
This simple unit does simple pans in a loop or manually very smoothly. You can even use it with inclination and it works perfectly. Construction is top notch and this is a great unit for simple pans. Keep in mind, however, that the GT 60D unit does not rotate like the bigger ones.Overall, great value for your money.

What’s not to love about this!
Took the GMV- GT 60D out today in harsh conditions, it handled very well and extremely smooth shots with my Panasonic GH5 camera. Easy to set up, lightweight when on the move and most of all value for money is spot on! Highly recommend this product if you are a filmmaker like I am.

Really excellent value
This is perfect for the dslr/mirrorless shooter who wants some b-roll or add a little production quality to an interview.Easy to set up and so light to carry when dashing about. It's amazing how far tech for the one-man shooter has come in just a couple of years. If it was sturdier and could take the weight of a larger camera like the S1H with lens, I'd give it 5 stars, but for the money, you can't complain. If you're a A7ii or GH5 owner, this is a must.Highly recommended.

economico e funzionante
Costa poco e funziona discretamente bene. La cosa che non mi piace è che la frenata e l'accelerazione a fine e inizio movimento non sono molto graduali, e questo si vede. Ha anche il vantaggio di essere completo e già montato, si mette nella custodia senza dover smontare praticamente niente. Usa batterie tipo Sony comuni ed economiche. Manca la testa snodata che va comprata a parte. Rapporto prezzo - prestazioni piuttosto buono.

Usado, no es nuevo
The media could not be loaded. Me lo han enviado usado, tiene marcas de no ser nuevo y además la goma viene doblada, con lo que a mitad del recorrido hace un salto, este producto en buen estado creo que merece la pena

Perfect, inexpensive automated slider to make a shot pop...
The media could not be loaded. I recently got booked for a couple video interviews and wanted to add a little pop with subtle movement on my B cam. So I did a little research, ordered this puppy and opened it up the day before the shoot. Took everything out and set it up in a matter of minutes. However, if you are not technically savvy, you should watch a tutorial on YouTube. The remote is easy enough to figure out but not necessarily intuitive. Set your start point, end point, slide speed, manual or auto mode, loop or single a pass and you're off and running. I had this up and running within a couple minutes day of the shoot. Adds the perfect amount of movement to make a shot pop. I will say, I have not and do not really intend to use this for time lapse photography. So I can't attest to that functionality but I'm sure it's cool.The only suggestion I will make is play around with the center directional rod. If it's dead center, the slider will simply go left to right with no camera pan (cool for cinematic shots, etc). Play around with varying degrees of adjustment to dial in the perfect amount camera pan so your shot stays on your subject for interviews. I noticed you don't much.As for quality, it's built very well with aluminum plates and carbon fiber rails. The best part is that it's whisper quiet. Can't hear to motor or gears one bit. However, my brother ordered the same kit and he said he noticed a faint high pitched squeal when the slider ramps down to change directions. But again, mine is quieter than Hellen Keller.The kit comes in a convenient cary bag with foam for protection. Sure, the nylon bag is kind of cheap but it works. The entire kit is very light and takes up less space than you think.Definitely recommend.

Great product, a few caveats
This is a really great product, especially for the money. It’s comparable to $2k other setups, and while it isn’t quite as nice, it’s really close for the money. Construction build is great, it’s lightweight and it works really well. Can take some stellar shots and comes in at under the price of a new lens. With that said, I would add the following.1. Get a ball mount. Mounting is a little weird, you have to hold an Allen to the plate so it doesn’t turn and unfortunately it doesn’t pack well in the case with a ball mount. But you definitely need a ball mount to adjust the angle of your camera.2. Manual could do with a few updates. What is time lapse and interval setting. I still don’t know. What sort of configuration should I do if I want a one hour time lapse to span the whole distance of the slider? Kind of on your own there.3. I really wish I didn’t have to configure stop and start every time and the thing just did it on its own. It’s kind of annoying.4. I like the remote more than an app because I can just leave it and come back. But the remote navigation is a bit clunky.5. It’s not advertised as a vertical slider, and this one wasn’t powerful enough to do that. I can lift an a7iii mirrorless with a 24 1.4 GM lens at about 45 Degrees steadily, but definitely not vertical. They have a more robust one that does that.6. I ordered the 31. It’s plenty of slider for what I needed.7. Definitely worth it for the money. This thing comes in at a 1/4 to a 1/6 of some other big brands built comparably. I’ve see. $800 smartphone sliders that move 8 inches. Just get it already.
