Thanks, dude! I ordered the Neewer a half hour ago, and then saw this video so I cancelled that and ordered the Andoer! That ballhead is definitely worth the extra 5 bucks! I’m going to use it for self zoom-ins when vlogging at home, putting it on a table. And I know: This can be a little noisy, but my audio is actually replaced in post anyway. (Long story.)
Not a normal Otto review. I have 4 wheel version and I LOVE IT. I scored it for $100 with a $60 off coupon so the 3 wheeled looks cool to. Great for B Roll...
Thanks, Otto. My husband got me the Andoer for my birthday to use for my RUclips videod and it does add interest to my b rolls. It carries my a6400 + sigma 16mm f1.4 perfectly.
OMG! I need this! I am almost ready to launch my channel and I can see where this device will add a new dimension of professionalism to my b-roll. Thank you, for reviewing this product. I would not have known that something like this was available. Happy New Year ,and keep up the great work!
Can it be programmed to set a certain maximum distance between turns? Can it be programmed so that the turns are made on their own without having to press the button and that it runs for half an hour straight?
Hey! Does it have an option to move from point A to B and reverse the movement automatically ? like a back and forward movement, to fill yourself without having to be always clicking the remote control?
Man Otto, you have such awesome toys! I absolutely did not need this, and until this morning didn't even know something like this existed. But I ordered one anyway (through your link). I got the Andoer with the ball. I'm thinking I could get some cool b-roll of me sitting at my bench with the camera doing a half circle around me while I tie. One of my first goals of 2021 is to come up with a cool intro. Some drone footage at the river, and a couple shots of me at the vise. Hopefully this thing will help. :-) Great video my friend!
Funny story: I never thought I would like something like this lol. But it just became pretty handy on some situations, and it doesn't break the bank either. Thanks for using my link!! Oh and yeah, the one with the ballhead is a good deal! I literally payed $25 for that ballhead alone a year ago!
@@OttoJulian_ Holy cow... you hit 1,000 on Thanksgiving, and are going to get to 2k on New Year's Eve! I told you your channel was going to blow up!! I was originally thinking you would hit 10k in 2021, now I think you're going to get to 50k this year. Just don't forget about us little guys when you are the BOSS of all RUclips tech channels. :-) Happy new year man. :-)
Yeah numbers have been going up lately. 50K seems a bit far away but I like how you seem to have lots of faith in me. Nope, not forgetting about any of you if the channel grows more. I hope we can all keep growing our channels during 2021!! Happy new year to you too Matt!
@@OttoJulian_ I just got mine in the mail today. This thing is really solid. Not very fast, but I suppose it needs to move pretty slow. And good call on recommending the ball. That will make it a lot more useful! Now I'm going to go put a camera on it and chase my cat around. :-)
That’s awesome, I did a search for motorised slider. I am not keen on spending 300+ on slider cause I will only use fraction of functionality, they have their place but for my needs currently they are too much. This is perfect and good alternative and much cheaper option. Thank you. I’m guessing there’s a new model by now?
Great review! You always do such a wonderful job. I've just order one, using your link. It isn't too hard to figure out a lot of uses for this thing. Just don't let it roll off the table edge!
Do both brands have the adjustable wheels as far as moving or sliding them out for a longer lens? You demonstrated that beginning at 7:10 into the video.
Great pieces of learning. Brilliant narrative with able guidance, suggestions, advices. Remarkable indeed. Recently I bought a pocket 2 in Sydney. I will be moving to India soon. Any accessories to be purchased here ? Thanks in advance.
@@George-vf7uw heaviest setup I used was over 1200 grams. it did struggle a bit mainly because of the length of the lens but I think 960 grams should be fine
Hi, when we attach the camera directly to this 1/4 screw it is not always pointing to horizontal or vertical direction .. we need to tight the screw to become center align .. is there better way to do this ?
@@OttoJulian_ that is so expensive please make a video on insta go 2 360 I can understand things better from you if you dont have then just make a video how to make super cinematic video with any mobile
Other than shooting close ups of food or products, what else could this be used to shoot. Cause it doesn’t seem like you can take this out in nature and use it.
hi there, you could if you can place it on a flat surface. It's limited, no doubt about it, but it will just depend on what you are doing and it's not too expensive. Also, there are some manual sliders where you can actually fit one of these devices at the top

Yeah!! That ballhead for just $5 is a deal!
Good to know about your audio! Hope you like this little gadget
Yes I'm glad I saw this video in time because I had my eye on the Neewer because of the big discount they had and then saw the end of the video. 😊👍🏾
I'm glad it was helpful!
So it have ab set point? Or do I need an operator? Does it have sensor to stop at the end of the table or anything?
No, there is no sensor. You need to manually stop it or with the remote control
Not a normal Otto review. I have 4 wheel version and I LOVE IT. I scored it for $100 with a $60 off coupon so the 3 wheeled looks cool to. Great for B Roll...
cool!
I have this on my wish list. Question. Does the remote only operate the slider or can you pair it with your camera to take pictures?
Hi, it’s just for the slider
Thanks, Otto. My husband got me the Andoer for my birthday to use for my RUclips videod and it does add interest to my b rolls. It carries my a6400 + sigma 16mm f1.4 perfectly.
hello Pia! thanks for sharing this info! glad you are enjoying it
Hi, great video thank you! I was just wondering if you can put an extension between the dolly and the camera so it can film from a higher pov?
hi, thank you! depending on the height and your current camera/lens, it could be very unstable and for that I wouldn't recommend to do that
@@OttoJulian_ thank you for your answer! 🙏😊
Can i use that on Neewer Camera Slider 67 inches 1/2 Round Circle Dolly?
OMG! I need this! I am almost ready to launch my channel and I can see where this device will add a new dimension of professionalism to my b-roll. Thank you, for reviewing this product. I would not have known that something like this was available.
Happy New Year ,and keep up the great work!
Hello Mark!! Yeah this device is so useful, like someone said, just be careful so it doesn't fall off the table's edge! Happy new year!
Dude what happened? Still didn’t launch your channel??
Excellent. I have this on my wish list after watching this video. I was wondering whether you can use it on GoPro? Thanks
Yes you can!
Can i use this dolly slider also for vertical videos with my camera? I mean, can i put my cam also vertical and it goes smooth? Thank you!
if it's too heavy it might cause some balancing issues. Otherwise it should be fine
Can it be programmed to set a certain maximum distance between turns? Can it be programmed so that the turns are made on their own without having to press the button and that it runs for half an hour straight?
No you can’t do any of those
Hey!
Does it have an option to move from point A to B and reverse the movement automatically ?
like a back and forward movement, to fill yourself without having to be always clicking the remote control?
Hello Eduardo. No, it will keep going and going. you have to manually stop it and start it
@@OttoJulian_ yes, that’s sad... but I will order it anyway, it’s very cheap for what it does :)
Thanks for your review!!

@@SavageFlies cool! Remember there are 3 speeds. For videos I actually like using the slowest speed. Fast is too fast for my taste
Very detailed and well explained video 👍 I'm thinking of buying it.
Thanks for your feedback!! 😃
Hi, do you know a dolly like this that can auto loop?
To film an interview or concert for example.
the ones I've tested can't do that
Never thought I would need this, but after watching your video Mr. Otto, I definitely want one!
Hey Danemarc! I hope you are having a nice week! Happy new year! Yeah I know, this is a cool toy to have for b roll
Does it make sound ? Can i use audio with rode vidmic on the cam or will we ear the motor ?
It's not quiet, you will hear the sound of it
Very informative. Thanks. One question though. If I used it to film Vertically, will the balance be off and the camera tip over?
Hello Charlie! it will mostly depend on the weight of your camera. If your camera+lens is too heavy it will unbalance the slider
Thanks for the reply. I feel that it would topple over though. Too bad.
Nice device! I misplaced my remote, there does not seem to be a way to replace it and the iPhone app does not work.
Hi Michael! That’s unfortunate!

you didn't cover how loud it is...how much noise does it make..?
can it be used with microphone recording close by at the same time..?
Sorry about that. Yeah the mic will pick up the noise if it’s close
@@OttoJulian_ thank you
have you seen the yelangu L5 version with app control and timelapse? and same andoer L5 brand too
hello Dan, not yet!
@@OttoJulian_ I am deciding between konova tank dolly and the new L5 version. I have not seen any reviews yet
I feel that the L5 is the same as the L4 but they just added the app control. If that’s the case it remains being a good alternative

Do both brands have the adjustable wheels as far as moving or sliding them out for a longer lens? You demonstrated that beginning at 7:10 into the video.

I think both have the combo. Is Andoer and Newer the same company?
Hi. No, they are different companies
nice review. year later. still working great?
I don't use it all the time BUT it is still working like a year ago
Neewer do another model which is about twice the price, it has a smartphone app for operation, not sure what other extra features though?
do you know what model is it? just write the name, don't post links or it goes to spam, thanks!
Great pieces of learning. Brilliant narrative with able guidance, suggestions, advices. Remarkable indeed. Recently I bought a pocket 2 in Sydney. I will be moving to India soon. Any accessories to be purchased here ? Thanks in advance.
hi! The only accessories I use for the Pocket 2 are ND filters and an extension stick
Just bought the Andoer on EBAY with the optional roller
Nice!
This dolly is a good item. I have it. But ppl should know the motor noise is easily picked up by the camcorder mic. Bit dissapointing.
Agreed! I really wish it would had been quieter
Is there a App for control the speeds for more slow and more fast movements?
Hi. No, just the remote control
