MOZA Slypod Pro Slider Motorized Monopod Camera Sliders 5.5H Running Time

Normally I do not have time at weddings to set up a slider in order to get super smooth shots, so I have to use the combination of a gimbal and software correction to get smooth cinematic establishing shots. I purchased this Slypod, hoping it would help me quickly get the clips I need without taking too long to set for every single idea I have. This thing delivered on my expectations. I'm sure many of you who are looking at this have already watched youtube videos to see how others are using it, and I can only verify what you have seen: it's amazingly fast to set up and get your clips. The weight: This thing is NOT light. I totally get why this is the case and am happy with the quality of the build, but it is not even remotely "light". If you plan to use a tripod (you really need to in most situations) then you should make sure to take into account the weight of your camera gear and the Slypod, so you don't get too lightweight of a tripod. The battery: This does not have a removable battery. I'm very disappointed by this, but you can just use a USB-C cable and portable cell phone chargers or a v-mount battery with USB ports like a Juicebox. (this is what I do). Not everyone is going to need to charge it during a single day of use, so it just depends on how long you plan to use it in a single day. Complaints: My only "complaint" with this piece of equipment is how loud it is when you use it at its faster settings, so if you need to have the camera moving very quickly while recording a clip, but also silent, then this is not going to help you. It is very very quiet at the slowest speed setting, in fact, the slowest setting is so slow and quiet, that movement is barely perceivable at all, so it's very useful for timelapse sequences.

I have had the Slypod Pro on a couple of shoots now and it has helped greatly. A lot of the time I am shooting by myself and the Slypod Pro helped me get shots that I wouldn't be able to get otherwise. It can be a little loud when running a full speed, but it has a quiet mode for when you are doing interviews. It also acts as a monopod so it doesn't take up much room when traveling.

I would give this product a negative 8 billion stars if I could. WHO CARES what capabilities the hardware has, if you cannot control it? The buttons do not let you run the slider at a predetermined speed. A short press (click) on these buttons does nothing. So you have to slightly hold the buttons down to start movement. When its motion starts, it will always be at a random speed, sloe or medium or fast, and there is no correlation between button press methodology and initial speed. So then you have to adjust the speed on the fly via subsequent clicks while in motion. By the time you get it adjusted to desired speed, half the slider's travel is wasted. Now let's talk about the app, which disconnects after about 20 seconds of not being touched. So if you start an infinite loop via the app, you will have to go back to the connect page and reconnect the app in order to stop the infinite loop. The app gives you no simple way to set a start and end point and speed and then start that motion with a press. Instead, you have to set the duration of that motion. This means if you want the slider to go between 2 setpoints at max speed, you have to trial and error guess 20 times what that duration would be, beczuse if you set it too short, the app will say it's too short (for max speed), but won't prompt you what the min duration would be. The worst GUI ever! The one mode that DOES let you choose a speed directly via a slider (regular mode), the slider requires a separate click on an icon to access, instead of being visible on the side like in the acceleration mode. And then in regular mode you have to click and HOLD the up or down icons to extend or retract. The gearshift and acceleration modes both are nonconstant speeds, which are useless if you want a steady predetemined speed. Again, WHO CARES what features the hardware has, when they cannot be controlled. Plua the English manual is 100% useless. Its terminology is inconsistent between text and diagrams. When I notified Moza, they said they WOULD NOT update the manual, leaving me guessing at how to even operate this gear. And I spent $600 for this thing...the manuals should have been IMPECCABLE. The app should have been ROCK SOLID and simple to use. Moza is the worst gear company in thr world, making users GUESS on how to TRY to use this useless slider. I am running latest app and latest Slypod Pro firmware.

This does what it claims do do, namely, extends and retracts to let you take "push" and "pull" shots for your videos. It isn't silent, nor is it completely shake-free. Supported by two tripods and using a Blabkmagic PCC 6K Pro in horizontal mode resulted in some unsteadiness. The shots were usable, but not rock-steady, especially when starting/stopping and at the end of the pole's travel. A lighter camera would likely do better. The unsteadiness seems to arise from flex in the carbon fiber tube, not from tripod movement. Still, it's smoother than anything I could get handheld or with a gimbal, so I'm glad to have it. Operation isn't intuitive. I need to re-read the instructions about how to control speed. Sometimes a single push sends it zipping along and other times, it barely creeps. But that's on me, not a fault of the device. Just don't skip the instructions.

If your debating on what kind of slider to get! This one is your answer. Not only the craftsmanship, portability, ease of use, tech & I kid you not, their customer service is outstanding.

Carries my VR 180 camera horizontally!

estoy Muy contento de tener este producto.

Great slider, lots of functionality!

商品が届き一通りの動作をチェックし、スムーズに動くことを確認。 最大まで伸ばした状態で私の用途では十分な可動域でした。 スマホアプリからのリモート操作、本体を直接操作が可能ですが、リモート操作のほうが直観的で簡単です。 付属していた説明書は日本語無しでしたので、本体の直接操作はやや分かり難かったです。 ジンバル＆三脚と組み合わせての使用を考えていましたが、単体でも十分活用できそうで良かった！！

イチョウの葉と葉のカメラしか通らない隙間を、一定のスピードで電動で通過する、その向こう側に被写体（娘）を捉えるような動画を撮影した。表現の幅が非常に広がる最高の一脚。インスタに動画を投稿すると友人からの質問が殺到した。 また、一番伸ばした状態で先端にエアークロス2をつけて、aps-c機に16ミリのレンズつけて、一脚を手で持ち上げて真下を撮影するようにとると、ドローンでとったかのような動画が取れる。また、ドローンは基本的にセンサーサイズが小さいから画質面でもこのセットが優勢。aps-c機を載せられるドローンも市場にはあるけど、コスパ悪すぎるし、そもそも飛ばせる場所も限られ許可取りも煩雑。個人的には娘のポートレートメインなのであまりにも高い位置からの空撮はアイデンティティ感じないので不要。 つまり、aps-c×エアークロス2×スライポッドプロが最良の選択だと思う。

Un aditamento sumamente profesional, es un poco pesado pero vale la pena, llegó a tiempo e inclusive antes de lo prometido.

気になっていたのでセールにて購入。 届いた日にテストをして、非常にコンパクトでちょっとした撮影でも色々な撮影が出来そうだなと思ってましたが、充電してみるとバッテリー55%から増えず、翌日には何故か電源も入らなくなったので、交換は対応していないようなので返品する事に。 たまたまハズレを引いてしまったのか、、再度値引きなく購入してまた同じ症状かもしれないと思うと迷います。 重宝しそうだと思っていただけに非常に残念です。

YouTubeで良く取り上げられている動作音ですが、自分の場合音は別撮りするのでと割り切って購入しました。 実際使ってみると自分の場合の実用スライドスピードは10%以下。 ３５％位から動作音が入りますが割り切って使っていれば問題無しです。 MOZA Aircross2にα７cを載せSlypod proに付けた場合、付属の雲台では耐えきれず倒れます。 それで写真の様な52ミリのボール雲台を取付けてみたらビクともしません！（こちらオススメ！） その後いろいろテストしてカメラ、ジンバル、全てアルカスイス仕様にして「SmallRig AirCross2ジンバル専用マウントプレート-2826」にアルカスイスプレートを付け、INNOREL KTシリーズ カメラ 三脚 カーボン 一眼レフ三脚 (32.5MMパイプ径, 三脚雲台キット)に載せています。 動画はSlypod proに直接α７c＋200mmのズームレンズを付けてスライド撮影させましたが素晴らしく安定してます。 持ち運びも便利で買って良かったお勧めのスライダーです。
