Zeapon Micro 3 E500 Double Distance Motorized Camera Slider, 27''/59cm Travel Distance, Compact Slider with carrying case, Motor Quick Switching, 10-26Lbs Payload and Adjustable Sliding Damping Design

The media could not be loaded. I bought the motorized version with PONs, they work flawlessly and easily using the App. I made a small demonstration video (see the video). The colors of these items are not gray rather than greenish gray (see photos), with slow speeds the motors are quiet. However, It's on the expensive side but worth it.

The impression that I had when I was unboxing it was that I was looking at an exceptional product in terms of design and manufacturing... Every detail was carefully thought, this is a high-end product and I worth every penny.. just one little tip: make sure to clean it after use and before storing it... As you can see in the pictures attached you'll find lubricating fluid in some parts and you can ruin other camera gear if you don't clean your hands or the slider itself...

We do a lot of different video work. It can range from scripted short films, corporate interviews, commercials, or even product showcase videos. Recently, we have been getting a lot of product videos for social media in both vertical and horizontal content. We usually like to film using macro lenses with some green screen work and our gear needs to be repeatable and precise. What I love about this slider is not only is it precise and repeatable, but it’s also module with the pan and tilt motor. I can use it on anything meeting the client’s work including Timelapse and I confident it will get the job done. Only negative so far, it’s a bit noisy when the speed is dialed up so keep that in mind with mic placement. Very happy with this slider.

I purchased this item with the intention of using it on multiple tv series i make regularly. This slider so far has held up to everything i can throw at it. I have used it for overhead dolly shots, mounted it on rocks, used it on construction sites... all that and i've only had it a few months. I use it regularly with the sony fx3 so far it is a great purchase for what i do. easily the toughest budget slider out.I also had lost a rubber foot & zeapon was kind enough to send me extras! i they did get the replacements to my house quickly as well.My ONLY complaint about this slider is for some reason in the footage it sometimes bows and isnt totally flat so it might look weird when ramping footage. This also could be something easily fixable that i do not know how to fix.suggestion for zeapon if you read these reviews:1. I would suggest they sell them as an item in the store to make this process as easy as possible as i lost mine in the field & could've ordered some to where i was on location in another state vs sending them to my home.2. a firmware update to dampen/smooth the slider at the end of repeating moves. its a little rough when it changes direction at the very end of the slider. i noticed if you set it just before the ends, it does stop much better when repeating moves.3. making an optional brushless motor version of the pons unit. this would help for shoots where audio is paramount. although i have used this regularly with no issue when using it with professional audio mixers who mix from their bag and no one has complained about audible noise from the slider yet.

Zeapon Micro 3 is a budget motorized slider with great features the built quality is great.I'm removing 2 star for 3 reasons:1) How laud the motor is, is so loud, impossible not to notice if you are recording onboard audio, probably unusable for interview .2) When recording with focal lengths higher then 70mm you really start to notice how jerky the footage is, since it uses some kind of stepper motor you can tell it's stepping and not a solid flowing motion.3) Using the slider with out the motor is not easy, even on it's lowest setting it has a lot of friction and you will end up moving the tripod before it slides.

Good quality foam, easy to install and works great in my theatre room. Got rid of echos bouncing off my walls. I also purchased their bass traps which effectively cleaned up boomy areas in my room.

This was purchased in the bundle with the micro 3 slider. When sent to me it was separated out as two items. So I’ll review the entirety here. I was so excited when I opened it. The packaging and cases made it fun to open. That’s where excitement ended.I’d give the e700 micro 3 slider a 2 star and the pons pan/tilt a 3 star.I’d rate the iOS app and the customer service each a 1 of 5 stars.Here’s why: the app is the main way to adjust these units. It is limited in its abilities. There’s no way to ease in or out which is important. You can’t remove or adjust a way point for one item, you have to reset all three (slider, pan and tilt). You can’t control the speed you want for sliding if using pan and/or tilting because those can slow it down. And they rely on each other.The slider sadly had fairly jumpy footage both manually and motorized. I used the included arms to further secure the slider to the tripod and I tried varying speeds and made sure things were tight. Even so, I could see small jumps and unevenness that’s unacceptable in professional video.The pan/tilt: this was more solid. But they all need to work together for my needs. Also the pan and tilt really do need the app for seamless use and it’s not good.The pan and tilt movements did seem smoother. And the one unit used to rotate an object did look good so that’s why I said 3 stars for it.Now for the customer service, I wrote Zeapon numerous times over the past few weeks to try and get solutions to my issues, to learn if there’s any upcoming firmware and to see what else can be done or tweaked to get smooth sliding. But…. They didn’t reply! Not acceptable. So in the end, I boxed it all up and as best I could manipulated all the pieces into the cases and then boxes.And I have to say, the cases were sweet (high quality and nice looking) but doing studio based product work, that was not of importance to me.I’m sad this didn’t work out and now I’m on the search for a different slider and pan tilt… hope the next company I choose has better communication.
