- How did Libec product help your work?
- LIBEC ALLEX S8 KIT helps a lot on the field. The additional screw holes found under the slider rail allow me to use two tripods for a steady slide shot. Also, the slider legs are easy to adjust for much needed low angle shots.
- For what kind of scene effect did you choose Libec product?
- 70cm of slide range is very helpful for a one-man operator like me. The scene effect of solidity and emotion is so amazing and satisfying.
- How do you feel about Libec product?
- The ALX S8 slider is much more compact and lighter than other sliders I have used. The movements are smooth and the settings are easy to use. These are important
features to have, especially when shooting overseas with limited time and wanting to take more cuts. Maintaining the rails is easy and convenient thanks to the slider's open structure. Lastly, I was pleasantly surprised that drag controls remained smooth and consistent, especially under the sun's heat.
