A perfect companion to my DJI Inspire 1.
The movement of the camera in an Aerial shot makes the footage captivating, giving it a dynamic perspective, and the results are much more immersive when compared to videos captured from a stationary camera.
A similar effect can be added to non aerial shots, like regular videos of people, products and objects, by using a slider. Which allows smooth camera movements for short distances. A slider is made of bracketed tracks that has a movable carriage, to which a camera can be attached.
But don't let the short distance undermine the effectiveness of the slider, there's a lot that can be achieved within a couple of feet of distance. And this subtle camera movement can breath life into an otherwise mundane shot.
Edelkrone has a set of 6 sliders that provide smooth camera operations. You can either use these slider on a tripod, or simply place them on a flat surface. But when you mount it on a tripod is when you unlock the maximum potential of the slider, because that's when it travels double the distance of it's actual length, and this feature is Edelkrone's USP, that you pay a premium price for.
You will need a professional tripod with a fluid head to mount these sliders on. The smaller screw size on entry level tripods will not fit into the female thread of these sliders.
You can upgrade to Edelkrone's Target Module and Action Module that can automate the slider process with precise timelines. but I decided to get there gradually. I'm having fun shooting with this slider in its bare minimum form. There's definitely a learning curve, and a lot to be explored in the manual mode, and that's where the fun is!
By the way, if you enjoy videography, like how I do, it's one of my favourite hobbies, then you'll certainly like my most popular video on youtube so far, where I automate a drone to take aerial shots of my car while I was driving it. Here's a link to that video: • DJI Inspire 1 Follow M... .
Creativity is only limited by imagination. And bringing those imaginations to life was never so easy before. Professional quipment like Camera sliders, Dolly systems or Aerial Shots could only be afforded by Professional Filmmakers in the past. But today’s technology enables easy and affordable access to these equipment, opening huge opportunities of creativity!
