Thank goodness for people like you who keep things honest. I miss the old days when youtube wasn't such a big sponsor machine and it was just regular people nerding out.
Thanks and you are spot-on correct about the lack of honest in-depth reviews of this product. I bought the Genie mini II and horrified at how loud it is. NO way you're going to shoot any video with this thing. Don't know how smooth or rather unsmooth it is for video because my purpose is for time-lapse and I just bought it. Ran across this review trying to find someone who has recorded how loud it is, I think mine may be broken.
Thank you for this honest video. I´m also looking for a solution to get smooth motion in my interviews. The syrp stuff looked promising for me cause i own the IFootage Shark slider which i want to keep using. Looking forward for your Rhino arc 2 review.
ok, i know its been a year since you`ve used the products, but i just got my 2 Genie Mini II s a couple of days ago, bought them used and after watching your Video, i just shot a 30 second pan tilt, to see if there are any microshakes, and i could not find any. Mine is smooth as butter, especially when its slow. If youd like i can upload the test shots to my account and link them here, if you are stil interested.
Damn dude, maybe it was a software thing or hardware thing that they fixed? I specifically remember that when it was going slow, it was worse. Using the pan tilt kit made it even worse. I ended up having 4 of these things in my house at one point, and I could not get good results. I’m happy it worked for you though! I splurged and bought the rhino arc II pro slider bundle. I’m still working on a video for that, hopefully I’ll be releasing soon, it’s been a busy year.
@@chiassoo cool, was debatting with myself if i should get the rhino, but im not really willing to spend 2400€ on the system, when i can build it for 1/5 of the Price :) Looking forward to your video :)
Hey! I've been waiting for them to issue a new software update, but it seems like they're going to take longer than expected with it. Lately I've been working on my b-roll for the video / recording talking head shots for it. I'm hoping i'll finish it soon! :)
All slider systems have issues. Rhino Arc II Slider System - issues: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qy47PGgE-K4.html For slow speeds you need a different stepper motor. Motion jitter can be seen in many systems.
