Mobislyder: The New Star of Video Production in the
Mobile Age
MOVE OVER Spielberg and Tarantino, the cinematic style of big
movie making has gone viral with the launch of mobislyder - the
world's first portable dolly designed specifically for smartphones
and compact cameras.
The mobislyder, a new innovation from Glidetrack, the world's
leading camera slider company, is set to revolutionise mobile
device video production. Stylish and ultraportable, the
mobislyder has been designed from the ground up to suit a
broad range of small video-enabled devices - including iPhone,
Android smart phones, smaller DSLR cameras and mini
camcorders.
As video on demand becomes the medium of choice for businesses and
individuals the mobislyder provides professionals and amateurs
alike with the ability to create cinematic-style shots.
"For years sophisticated-looking camera moves were only available
to professionals with big budgets and truck loads of gear. But now,
with most camera devices capable of shooting HD video, mobislyder
allows operators to take smooth tracking shots fit for the big
screen -all with the sweep of a finger," said Alastair Brown, the
43-year-old UK entrepreneur who founded Glidetrack in 2008.
The name Glidetrack has now become synonymous with these types of
cinematic gliding moves. There are literally thousands of user
videos on YouTube and Vimeo created by people using the equipment
to enhance the quality of their productions.
"We have been working on creating a smaller Glidetrack-style piece
of equipment suitable for mobile devices such as iPhone and compact
cameras for some time but until now the video quality wasn't quite
there," said Alastair. "However, with the development of the iPhone
4S and other new generation devices capable of shooting full high
definition video we fele the time was right to launch the
mobislyder."
The new device, which retails at around £129 ($175 USD) but is
being made available at a special launch price of £99 ($135 USD) in
the run up to Christmas, is perfect for special occasions such as
weddings, concerts, holidays, sports events, social media
news reporting and even corporate promotions and PR videos.
With more than 200,000 videos uploaded to YouTube, and in excess
of 1 billion views, every day the demand for good quality user
generated content on the web is booming, especially among companies
getting to grips with the value of video.
Various surveys into the impact of video suggests news releases
with video links have a 300 per cent higher retention rate and 500
per cent more views than text only versions. Products promoted with
video have reported increased sales of between 17 per cent and 36
per cent.
According to the latest industry figures total online video views
are on track to grow by some 20% from 640billion last year to
around 770billion this year while paid-for online video revenues
will reach in excess of $3bn (USD). And with experts predicting
sales of smartphones to exceed more than 450million worldwide this
year volume is set to increase even more.
However, the more videos there are the more demanding and
selective viewers are becoming.
"The days of shaky video being posted online are gone. People are
becoming more demanding about what they watch which means companies
or individuals need to improve the quality of their videos and
mobislyder can help them do that," added Alastair.
"We see mobislyder as becoming the industry standard piece of gear
for Ebay sellers, Amazon product videos, Bloggers - in fact anyone
wanting to get high quality video on their site without breaking
the bank."
