Axler Camera Slider Reviews

Light but weak.

By Gudjon
Rated 3 out of 5

What I like is that this en extremely light and easy to travel with in that regard. What I dont like is that the carbon is so weak that if I dont carefully balance the camera perfectly I get skewed shots where the angle rotates. This does not happen on solid sliders only rail sliders and is a tradeoff for the carbon fiber way of life. Also the bag is a bit to small, yes it holds the slider nicely but If I mount any kind of head in there it is useless. If it was just a little bigger I could have a little head living on there and life would be better.

Great entry level option if you are on the fence about adding a slider to your kit.

Could be sturdier

Overall solid slider for the price. Smooth slide and super portable. You need to really have a solid grip when sliding to reduce micro jitters especially if you are not using a lens with image stabilization. Another downside is when using on a tripod with the center mount - the ends of the carbon fiber track tend to bend causing a slight dutch tilt on camera. Though for the price I cannot complain too much. A little practice and a smooth hand can go a long way with this slider, especially in run and gun situations.

Great Cheap Slider

I wasn't ready to commit to a more expensive slider system - since I don't know if it will be something I use often. This was a great cost to value option. Very smooth simple slider solution at its price point. Slider ships ready to go - no assembly required. Also like that it comes with a travel bag. I've used it a few times now and have enjoyed it. Getting smooth even shots takes a little finesse - same could probably be said for any non-mechanical slider - but ultimately I get more professional looking shots with this than I would free handing with a gimbal.

A little shaky

Smooth motion on the track, but this slider is a little shaky – even on a tabletop with the built-in feet. Mounting on a tripod or 2 light stands didn't help much.

Easy and Lightweight

This is my 1st slider i have ever used. I bought for it being lightweight, built out of Carbon Fiber and claiming it can hold 18 pounds. I tested it with my Ronin-s with a Nikon 3400, 50mm prime and the DJI focus wheel. I did not have any problems with it at all. I throw it on some tripods and used it all day. What I wish it had was a based that lets you tile the came up and down. So I dont have to use my Ronin. Also, I did not have the budget for a 300 plus motorized one but i use some small line and was about to pull the camera. Therefore I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 for not having that option. Build quality is overall good.

Simple handy slider

Slider works for a light weight camera. I'm working with a Sony Fs5 with a 50mm lens and it doesn't buckle or move but suspect that if I put an external recorder and long heavy lens this slider may buckle a little bit. It's basic but it does what it's supposed to do. Very light as well.

Very good

Is it difficult to get consistent steady flowing slides with this without it being motorized?
Asked by: Jonathan
Operating a slider manually will take some practice to get down smoothly, but it is very possible with this slider.
