which slider on the budget?

[Dan Wake]

hello I'm searching for a good slider on the budget, do you have any suggestion please?

p.s. If one day I will buy a gimbal 3 axis will the slider become useless? thx

in your experience which is it better, Ball-Bearing Slider system like this one: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01A11FIDQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A36MGAI5WC5J54&psc=1

...or this kind of different system (roller)? https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01N12JSE6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A2HHQ25UNGL8HR&psc=1

I'd be careful when going too "budget". I have bought three cheap sliders. They wobble and stick and are just generally unpleasant to use. If I'd been more sensible I think I'd have bought a (cheapest) Kessler in the first place...

The second one is better.... I've used both and the second one will remain smooth over time, only because its easier to clean and maintain.

I have the second, from Neewer. I think it's really good for the money. Works great if you don't use a too heavy set up. Using it with a GH3, cage, rods, mattebox, and fluid head makes it to flex a bit at the end if you use only one tripod. But with a lighter set up it works great, very smooth. In the image you can see the heavy set up (only for testing purposes).
