Shark slider nano
Key features

The iFootage Shark Slider Nano is a short 400mm slider with a few tricks up its sleeve. Firstly it’s reciprocating so when placed on a tripod it actually has double the amount of travel.
The horizontal slide is motorised, controlled either by an app or through an embedded 2.7″ touchscreen.
You set up a first camera position manually, then do the same for where you want your move to end, and enter how long you want it to last. You can also set the motion to be a one-off or to shuttle continuously.
When used on a tabletop the slider motion doesn’t reciprocate so you don’t get the double length slide. 
2.7″ touchscreen is integrated into the unit so you’re not dependent on your phone to control the slider. 
Power comes from two Li-ion cells. 
iFootage offer an app to control the slider parameters too. 
3.2kg payload should be ample for mirrorless camera setups. 
The slider is rigid enough to set up on a single tripod.
Two-axis movement
There’s a motor in the camera plate to add an extra dimension to the camera’s movement. This means you can achieve parallax-style camera moves for interviews without any extra motorised parts.
The Shark Slider Nano can support 3.2kg (6lbs) when set up horizontally, or 1.5kgs (3lbs) when used vertically.
Power is supplied by two 1,850mAh Li-ion batteries which should last for about three hours. They’re removable so you can have a spare set on standby. You can also power the slider via USB-C for even longer slides.
