Rhino’s new slider aims to bring motorized tracking shots to the masses

Following shots are a true to life trademark, however pulling them off by and large requires — obviously — a track or some likeness thereof for smooth movement. What's more, mechanized tracks are entirely costly, making them a device that is more constrained to proficient videographers than beginners.



Rhino has been making camera sliders since it was established a couple of years back, yet its items have been centered around the genius end of things, costing in the $1,000 territory. The organization would like to change that with most recent item, the ROV Camera Slider, which begins at $229, and hopes to convey mechanized camera shots to the majority.

The ROV comes in two models: the base ROV, which is fundamentally intended for use with an iPhone, and a pricier ROV Pro model that incorporates bolster for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Rhino is likewise offering two lengths for each model: a 8-inch "Ordinary" rendition, and a 16-inch "Explorer" estimate.

The ROV is completely controlled through a friend application, which on account of the iPhone show likewise fills in as a camera application. Rhino has manufactured preset alternatives for video, moderate movement, and following time-slips by, which are all fantastically easy to do in the application. There's additionally full manual settings for things like presentation and center, should you require the more granular control. Clients can likewise either set a clock or exploit an "applaud to begin" highlight on the off chance that they're attempting to get some activity shots. The ROV itself charges over Micro USB, and should last around 24 hours off a solitary charge when utilized for video, and up to twice that for time-slips.

I got the opportunity to see the ROV in real life, and additionally see some demo film that Rhino had shot, and the whole thing appears to function as guaranteed. And keeping in mind that it's difficult to state that a mechanized slider is truly an item for the normal shopper, in case you're a substance maker or novice picture taker, the ROV resembles a truly fascinating approach to grow your collection of video abilities.

Rhino is propelling a Kickstarter crusade today to support its slider. Rhino has effectively run different Kickstarter battles for mechanized sliders previously, making this a more secure wager than most crowdfunding efforts. Yet, as with anything on Kickstarter, utilize your best judgment before you hit that "back" catch.

The base ROV display begins at $229 on Kickstarter ($70 off the last $299 retail cost). The DSLR-good ROV Pro model expenses $299, and the two renditions can be moved up to the more Traveler variation for an additional $40. Rhino is likewise offering an assortment of packaged embellishment units with tripods, mouthpieces, and custom rucksacks should you be keen on taking it in a hurry.
