Micro3 Motorized E500

This motorized slider is honestly a beast. The build quality is incredible and it operates so smoothly that it exceeded my expectations right out of the box. I didn’t even need to open the manual—the controls were that intuitive. Battery life is also excellent, especially with larger NP-F970 batteries, giving me plenty of runtime for wedding shoots and professional projects. As a professional wedding videographer, having the optional built-in controller on the M4 E700 series was a must. I can’t always rely on a phone app, especially in low-reception or run-and-gun situations. The control board is simple and effective, though I do wish it could rotate for easier viewing when mounted high on a tripod. That’s when the phone app becomes more useful—if connection allows. The included foldable legs are well-designed and make tabletop setups quick and easy. I don’t often need the support legs, but using just one on the motor side completely solved tipping issues with heavier setups. I’ve comfortably mounted a Sony FX3 with a Tamron 35–150 lens, and with proper tripods like my Manfrotto sticks, stability hasn’t been a problem. Noise is minimal—running at mode one with 100% speed is nearly silent, while higher speeds on mode two do introduce some motor sound. For most uses, it’s not an issue. I also love the dual-barrel design that doubles the slide distance while keeping the unit compact. Everything fits neatly in the included soft case, which is a great bonus. • Excellent build quality and smooth motion • Long battery life with NP-F970 batteries • Intuitive control board, no instructions needed • Foldable legs for tabletop use • Supports heavy setups with proper tripod support • Dual-barrel system doubles distance while staying compact • Soft case included for portability • Nearly silent operation at lower speeds This is not a cheap setup, especially if you add the optional pan/tilt head, but it’s worth every penny for professionals. For me, it’s a 10/10 must-have tool, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about video production.

The Micro 4 is a fantastic slider. The iteration Zeapon has made is incredible. The motor takes mere seconds to attach and upgrading the firmware out of the box was hassle-free. Build construction feels premium and very sturdy. Also comes with support rods to keep the slider rock-solid. I purchased the Pons PT in combination with their Micro 4 and found the slide/pan/tilt action to be buttery smooth. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Micro 4 motor is touch-screen with intuitive controls that make setting up waypoints quick. In addition to normal speed, there’s a high speed toggle switch. In either mode, the speed knob has a 0-100% dial, and at its fastest speed, it is FAST. Like really fast. Operation is quiet and the manufacturing is beautifully machined. The two-tone blue and black combo looks great. The packaging is clean with well-designed carrying cases, including diagrams that indicate how each part should be placed back in the case. They’ve also included compartments in each case to store NPF batteries, all the way up to the 950 size. Even the shipment packaging was overly-protected and well-packed. You can tell that what Zeapon creates is from a labor of love. It definitely shows.

We do a lot of different video work. It can range from scripted short films, corporate interviews, commercials, or even product showcase videos. Recently, we have been getting a lot of product videos for social media in both vertical and horizontal content. We usually like to film using macro lenses with some green screen work and our gear needs to be repeatable and precise. What I love about this slider is not only is it precise and repeatable, but it’s also module with the pan and tilt motor. I can use it on anything meeting the client’s work including Timelapse and I confident it will get the job done. Only negative so far, it’s a bit noisy when the speed is dialed up so keep that in mind with mic placement. Very happy with this slider.

App makes the device itself unfunctionable. Complete wast of money. Only available firmware update was from 2021. Currently it says my devices need an update, but there is no way to update anything.

I purchased this item with the intention of using it on multiple tv series i make regularly. This slider so far has held up to everything i can throw at it. I have used it for overhead dolly shots, mounted it on rocks, used it on construction sites... all that and i've only had it a few months. I use it regularly with the sony fx3 so far it is a great purchase for what i do. easily the toughest budget slider out. I also had lost a rubber foot & zeapon was kind enough to send me extras! i they did get the replacements to my house quickly as well. My ONLY complaint about this slider is for some reason in the footage it sometimes bows and isnt totally flat so it might look weird when ramping footage. This also could be something easily fixable that i do not know how to fix. suggestion for zeapon if you read these reviews: 1. I would suggest they sell them as an item in the store to make this process as easy as possible as i lost mine in the field & could've ordered some to where i was on location in another state vs sending them to my home. 2. a firmware update to dampen/smooth the slider at the end of repeating moves. its a little rough when it changes direction at the very end of the slider. i noticed if you set it just before the ends, it does stop much better when repeating moves. 3. making an optional brushless motor version of the pons unit. this would help for shoots where audio is paramount. although i have used this regularly with no issue when using it with professional audio mixers who mix from their bag and no one has complained about audible noise from the slider yet.

I bought the motorized version with PONs, they work flawlessly and easily using the App. I made a small demonstration video (see the video). The colors of these items are not gray rather than greenish gray (see photos), with slow speeds the motors are quiet. However, It's on the expensive side but worth it.

Zeapon Micro 3 is a budget motorized slider with great features the built quality is great. I'm removing 2 star for 3 reasons: 1) How laud the motor is, is so loud, impossible not to notice if you are recording onboard audio, probably unusable for interview . 2) When recording with focal lengths higher then 70mm you really start to notice how jerky the footage is, since it uses some kind of stepper motor you can tell it's stepping and not a solid flowing motion. 3) Using the slider with out the motor is not easy, even on it's lowest setting it has a lot of friction and you will end up moving the tripod before it slides.

The impression that I had when I was unboxing it was that I was looking at an exceptional product in terms of design and manufacturing... Every detail was carefully thought, this is a high-end product and I worth every penny.. just one little tip: make sure to clean it after use and before storing it... As you can see in the pictures attached you'll find lubricating fluid in some parts and you can ruin other camera gear if you don't clean your hands or the slider itself...

Ich hatte schon mehrere Slider ausprobiert. Leider kann man sich nicht mehr auf You- Tuber verlassen. Die scheinen alles gut zu finden, machen es einem schmackhaft und man kann es dann nicht glauben dass es nicht so funktioniert wie auf deren Kanal. Anfangs hatte ich es mit dem von mehreren You-Tubern sehr empfohlenen Footage Shark slider versucht. Das ruckeln war nicht mit anzusehen-unfassbar. Toll war sicherlich dass man ihn easy einstellen kann. Nützt am Ende aber alles nichts. Am Ende habe ich dann doch mehr Geld ausgegeben und mir diesen Zeapon gekauft. Ein Top Produkt mit dem man super arbeiten kann! Tadellos! Es gäbe natürlich immer was zu meckern, wie bei allen Dingen. Ich kann auf jeden Fall super damit arbeiten! Die Lieferung war wie immer bei Amazon top. Exakt auf den Tag wie angegeben.

Easy to setup. Has worked without any issues, including the mobile app. Great quality overall.

I’ve used other sliders over the years and can honestly say nothing comes close to this one, even far more expensive units. Analyzing the gyro data for any other slider shows the typical ups and downs, less than a gimbal but still there. This one shows nearly a straight line and the ultra smooth footage bears that out. The fact that it’s a double distance slider also makes it far easier to hide the slider on a straight roll-in shot and its vertical smoothness is simply unmatched. I was a bit sceptical about it prior to ordering because of reported issues with the app but I have had no such issues and there is an easy fix for the most reported issue (non-connection after firmware updates) - simply delete the app and re-install it. Yes, that’s a bit of a pain but it’s minor when compared to the quality of this unit and the results it provides. For product video, real estate and commercials, this thing will pay for itself in no time. Yes it’s twice as expensive as a GVM or Neewer but the results are worth 5 times as much. If you want professional results, you need to use professional equipment and this slider is professional in every way from the outstanding build quality to the ease of use.

I bought recently the Zeapon Micro 4 700. Previously i had bought a cheap one from another vendor but wasnt happy at all. The sliding is very smooth, no sound at all and although it looks short in lenght it is not! the double expansion is amazing. Because of the quality i also bought the tilt and pan modules. I think this is the best slider in this price point. APP : they do have an app, a good one. I just would love that you add presets ( saving different presets). All the rest are there! Thank you Zeapon Team and for the time you took from your Support to answer my inquiries!

I've had both the edelkrone and syrp sliders and they were so unreliable I only used them a handful of times over the last five years. I've been blown away by zeapon and have used my e1000 on so many shoots already in the first two months. The manual controls are what I've always wanted in a motion control device, and the app is bulletproof where the others glitch out and stop working if your screen goes to sleep. Motor is strong and silent, carrying case is really high quality, build quality is 10/10
