I've just bought the DL-300 assuming the app would allow for a ping-pong feature (it's actually annoying you can't see a manual for the app features anywhere). I bought it to use on a raised platform between two tripods (like a slider), so I'm disappointed even before receiving the product, but this little hack gives me hope - thank you!👍
Neewer has to update this app. I mean as is, sure it works and has use. I find it hard to believe they would leave the app so basic. Just a few tweaks and it would be less messy to utilize two apps to get the best delight out of this. Or, hoping another brand comes out with this specific style of dolly. Maybe Amaran/Aputure or Nanlite seem good candidates for this stuff.
You know they're motorized dollies are absolutely well built and fantastic for what they are. They're very solid. Feeling definite quality on the mechanic side. Huge disappointment on the app. I think that like Canon they deliberately cripple some of their products because they're worried that it's going to conflict with some of their other products. I hope that's not the case. I'm hoping that they'll fix the app. It would be so easy to integrate those features and update the app. We know that it can be done, but in the meantime the workaround works just fine and you can use it just like that. You can also use Hot Wheels tracks so that if you're outside you're not on rough terrain. I'm thinking of getting some and then that way if I use the dolly outside I can smooth it out that way. Even some plastic matting or something of that nature can be a help as well. Thanks for watching the video. Thank you. I hope that it helps. I hope I made a subscriber out of you
@@blueCollarGuy Thank you for the prompt reply. Your endorsement to the quality of the product is very assuring. Neewer has really come a long way, and their products have improved a great deal over the years. The DL400 is such a great looking unit that could be part of anyone’s creative workshop. Agree with your Canon simile. I suppose being overly careful builds a certain reputation, in a conservative method. I think I’ll try the DL400 and thank you for doing a great job on the review with the included workaround. Cheers!
You might have to power on and off the unit and also make sure your Bluetooth is on and that you've given permissions as well for the app to use your phone but I managed to get mine working and it didn't take very long sometimes. If you've already connected to the app that comes with the device, you do need to power it off and then on and then push the connect and then it will display dl400. Tap that then push pair. I hope that helps 🙂
Very cool, seems like maybe a firmware update or mobile app update could fix this issue. Have you reached out to Neewer to see what if anything they plan on doing so you don't have to use a 3rd party solution?
Hi, thanks for this video! I'm looking for the "ping-pong" feature as well for the DL300. I didn't see the link in your description. Can you please add it?
Here's a copy for you. I did put it in the description, but sometimes when you add it it only shows you the code and doesn't take you to the actual web page. So I think this one will take you to the actual web page for you
They probably did that because then nobody would need to buy one of their sliders. So they felt that their products were competing with each other and that you would get a much better value with a motorized camera dolly than you would with a motorized slider. That's my guess I don't know for sure. I don't know if it's a fact, but I think it's a pretty good guess. What do you think?

Thank man
You're very welcome.
Wow!! Pretty good!
But i have a question : i tried like you but the Connect button doesn’t have any effect 😢

This has been a problem since their DL 200. Other people before me have contacted them. I think they don't want a conflict with their camera sliders.

@@blueCollarGuy I tried to go the link in the description and also here… and the two of them it takes me to the code.. how do I go to the webpage?
@@BombayBlonde ok you're welcome
They used to have A and B points but now that feature is removed idk why

@ man, they recently added it 2 weeks ago and it was so handy just doing it from the app and not doing it from this hack thingy
I can’t have access to the website… it takes me to the code. Do you know how to fix it?
