so i am looking at getting a cheap slider that will work in the cold.

why cheap? well i have an very nice slider, but for backcountry/sidecountry, i want something i can beat up, strap on to my bag, and get slider shots on my tripod.

2 - 3 feet max would be great. i have a 44 inch that i love, but when its $800, i dont want to take it into the backcountry/ its heavy and nice.

budget would be MAX 200, but maybe its not possible.

thanks

Look into the Konova sliders. I had a rhino one and then switched to the Konova k3 for ease of use and transportability and I love it. Went on a 3 day skinning tour trip with it and it was awesome

I just ordered on of these, bit more than your price range, but it could be nice. I'll let you know in a few days when I get it.

Maybe try making one? PVC and rollerblade wheels can make something that works pretty well for not a lot of money, and if it breaks you just replace the part.

It also sounds amazingly easy to transport into the backcountry.

Why wouldn't it be? With a little creativity you could make something that breaks apart, also you can make it as large or as small as you like.

I had Edelkron slider.

Recently I shifted to Camtree E-slider track. It's quality is well built but price is little high.

They also have cheap 3ft linear slide.

I agree with Wingmen, diy shit can be customized to your needs, and super cheap. You could easily make a decent slider as huge or as small as you want that breaks down relatively small for under 20 bucks.

Super easy and quick to throw together and a great carry bag comes with it to toss it away easy and fast. Great options as far as non barring sliders go that are easy to use and cheap.
