Putting up my 39" GlideTrack Shooter SD slider for sale. Only used it a couple times, still works perfectly. Bought it for $350 in the fall, selling for $300 plus shipping, US only. Not looking for trades as of now. PM me if interested!

Yeah sure I used it a bit in this, and if you go on my Vimeo page there's a couple good shots with it in the Whaleback Jib Jam edit

Yeah I'm going to be re-doing it pretty soon, I wasn't happy with the entire second half of that and the audio was all screwed up.

Because my setup is unbelievably heavy. Contrary to what people say, friction sliders are actually easier to control lighter DSLR setups with. With ball bearing sliders you are using mostly your hands to control it, which with lighter setups can make it shakier. With a friction slider such as this you rely less on your hands and more on the resistance of the track to keep it smooth. If you are using a more simple setup such as just the DSLR + lens + maybe VideoMic, then this is a great choice. However when I mount my 501HDV + DSLR + Tokina + Preamp + NTG-2 + XLR cables it's just simply too heavy to move smoothly. When I made that video above I was using the aforementioned lighter setup, which worked just fine.

That'll get ya every time. Happens to the Steeze Minister rather often. On a more related note, the slider is currently pending trade, but I'm still open to cash offers.
