I have recently developed a close relationship with Kessler Crane<\/a>, mainly as they are great guys with great products who have been working with me on what they need to do to make their sliders better.<\/p>\n

Part of the issue with most sliders I have used in the past, including the glidetrack and the old pocket dolly is they used the IGUS system which while great was never perfect. It can stick so you often have to repeat the shot to get it smooth. Although their pocket dolly with crank improved things so much making this stickiness not happen. To improve performance \u00a0Kessler have gone to a system similar to what they have in their top of the range Cineslider system<\/a>. They are using a ball bearing system, coupled with the belt to give it inertia, it creates a smooth as a baby’s bottom slider that is now what I call a one take slider. The only time you need to do the shot again is if you screw up rather than the slider sticking. The other cool thing is it’s silent. I have used all the sliders I can think off and the problem with most of them is they simply are not quiet, making recording sound a real issue. This is the first smooth slider I have used that is silent.<\/p>\n
