Did you ever wanted to capture that silky-smooth dolly shots from your DSLR or video camera ?
With a camera slider, you have the ability to shoot compelling tracking shots, which creates a sense of movement, as if floating around the subject and your footage will look professional!

For the last few months, I have been searching high and low for a camera slider!
Not only does it need to be sturdy, smooth, reliable, portable but also AFFORDABLE!

Most of the sliders in the market will burn a hole in one’s pocket :O

Therefore I had to head to the DIY direction with the IGUS rails which most of you would be very familiar with by now
Just when I was about to order my IGUS rails to start the DIY process, Lo and Behold… the KONOVA SLIDER has just been released!

MADE IN KOREA – By a South Korean company, thanks to them!!! now I can start my journey as a DSLR Cinematographer

Just placed my order and is anticipating for it to arrive
I opted for the 1m version with the 717 fluid head and 2 adapters 1/4″-5/8″ (to help mount the slider onto 2 light stands for maximum stability)
Looks like because it’s a pre-order I will be getting the 4 bearings as a free upgrade *w00t*

I will let the photos do the talking – click on them to view full size

Just look at all the possibilities!?
I rarely see affordable sliders that can be setup vertically and diagonally (at an angle)
You can mount onto 2 light stands, 2 tripods, 1 of each, or just the one tripod

Best to use a sturdy tripod though

Now is your chance to grab it on eBay!

Don’t miss the opportunity for this price!
I am sure it will come in handy if you make any type of videos!

I am so looking forward to grab a few friends and start my horror movie project LOL
This is going to be so useful for making awesome videos of cars

Of course I will be doing a full review on the slider once I get my hands on it
Check back on me or follow my twitter for further updates~

- Same review written especially for the Japanese community -

ビデオカメラや一眼レフを使って、上手にビデオを撮ったつもりでも、家に帰ってみたら手ぶれがひどかったり、目が回るような動画だったりしてがっかりした経験はありませんか?

プロのように、スムーズでダイナミックな動画をデジタル一眼レフやビデオカメラでとりたいと思った事がある方に、プロも使用する待望の「あの機材」が趣味の感覚で安く購入できるようになりました。

それは。。。。 ス ラ イ ダ ー!!!

韓国製で質がよく、しかもお手頃な値段です。

このスライダーに出会ったきっかけは、プロのスライダーが高くて購入できず、自分でDIYをしIGUSレールを買おうとしていた時でした。神様のいたずらか、迷っていた私の前に[KONOVAの新発売のスライダー ]と出会わせてくれました。即eBayで購入、私が買ったのは

Click here to view ebay listing from seller: konovacamera

- 1Mのレール
- 717フルードヘッド(Fluid head)
-  1/4″-5/8″ のアダプター2コ(これは、スライダーを二つのスライダーにマウントさせるためのものです)
- それに、予約購入(pre-order)をすると4 bearings に無料でアップグレードされます。
私が話すよりも、写真を見ていただくとよくおわかりになると思います。

無限の可能性ともいいますか、スタンドを2つ使うことができるので、上下、左右の動きだけではなく、傾斜のショットも可能。こんなにすごいスライダーは他にはありません。
このチャンスを見逃さないで是非KONOVAのをスライダー試してみて下さい。購入はeBayをクリック!
スライダーが届いたら、レビューを書くのでまた見に来てね。

Dental Shopping

Can’t believe I’m actually very happy to go to the dentist lately!
Decided to get dentist approved toothpastes and a big ass bottle of Listerine plus freebies from my cool dentist who drives a Hummer H2 (which makes him even cooler)
I’m getting a few crowns done that’s why I’m so excited as it’s so affordable (paying only 30%, the rest subsidized by govt + from my compulsory health insurance)
Much more affordable than in NZ!! Been delaying for years until I got fractured fillings which caused tooth decay ;( bad move!
So please take my advice and don’t delay! check your teeth regularly every 6mths – 1yr is good and brush 3 times a day preferably! esp. after each meals – this helps from snacking in between as well! a win-win situation

Chillaxin’ @ Starbucks



Chilling and relaxing at Starbucks with a mug of Caramel Macchiato

Love the ambiance and jazzy music in the background esp. for reading e-books
