Hi Jesse! Thanks for your review! First, apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We are dedicated to ensuring our user's 100% satisfaction and would make it happen. So thanks for all the feedback and feature requests, we'll definitely pass it on to the MOZA App development team to resolve all these issues.
Hey! I’m really glad you were able to watch the video and accept the feedback. I really hope you are about to address these issues.
However I would also hope you’d have that same level of commitment to all the users in the comment section who have expressed issues with products not functioning, and customer service not responding accordingly. I’m sure they would be happy to get a reply from you.
This really could be something special, and I hope some day it is.
Honestly, the biggest thing would be the ability to do segmentation beyond 30 minutes. I love this product for a lot of legacy cameras that aren't shutter compatible. @Gudsen MOZA.
I love the product and have used it with the AirCross 2 to make basic trailers for 3d printed items (ruclips.net/video/pTDxbmQxS_0/видео.html)
@@JesseDriftwood Did you try using the 4 way cross above the XY grid with the waypoints? That's actually a nicer way to set your waypoints and less sensitive.
The issue with this app is that it's goddamn terrible to figure out all the features... I think someone should sit down and go through the app like in English.
The reason the segmentation hours is set to 0 is because you cannot create a segmentation path longer than 30 minutes (it's something to do with the minimum move speed)
Edit: You can also double tap a point to move the camera to that point to check your composition before ruining your shot. This app just needs someone to re-design it.
@@JesseDriftwood This right here is why I am a HUGE fan of your channel. Not only do you give us an AMAZING review which just looks great - as all your stuff does - but you then put the company on notice AFTER they reach out to you. That is the best. I wish more RUclipsrs/Inlufencers would do this...I had a recent situation with a particular camera bag from a particular RUclipsr (you might know him....) and it was NOT the case with him. The bag was promptly returned (after waiting a year for it) and the money went to better things...(a new turntable for my records!)
@@JesseDriftwood Because we are not high traffic influencers, we don't get anything but generic replies. Thanks for making this video!
This is such a satisfying review; beautifully illustrated frustration with a poor product but delivered in a way that it is ultimately positive/helpful to everyone. (I would have enjoyed watching the team at Moza watching this video…)
I’d pay a substantial amount of money to watch them watch it. And also receive their feedback.
Coffee daddy
I agree. It seems pretty rare to see RUclipsrs/influencers/whoever getting frustrated with gear and actually voicing that frustration. It’s refreshing as I get this with certain bits of kit sometimes and it’s kinda reassuring to know it’s not just me! 😂 Hopefully it helps to improve products more going forward.
Best … review … ever … sometimes I wonder if manufacturers even test their own gear other than «does it turn on»
Early adopters of any product are the real beta testers, and they even pay for that secret honor.
Being a software developer and knowing that the shortcomings of our workflow software allows project managers to create "Development Tasks" versus "User Stories" and QA only tests "User Stories" regardless of how much code is changed in a "Development Task" ... it wouldn't surprise me in the least that certain aspects of a product's testing get ignored.
truly anything camera related that has a smartphone app drives me up the wall. give me a remote or something. anything but an app.
Anything but an app 🥰
we need more reviews like this! hero!
Thanks Phil! Also last night I was watching some pyramid doc and I just kept hearing your voice saying “shape shape shape shapes!” So thanks for that also!
@@JesseDriftwood Made my day! Here, have a thank you "SHAPE SHAPE SHAPE SHAPES."
I know these videos are really hard to make because it's never fun to be negative but I greatly appreciate this. This is a product I've thought about buying. Hopefully this encourages them to make it better. Thank you.
What are you on about, moaning about broken things is great fun
Finally. A honest gear review. I’ve bought so much crap because I’ve been duped by youtubers I look up to.
Thank you 🙏
My anxiety started peaking just watching this. Initially watching the opening shots I was sure it would all be worth it, but mid-way through, I started yelling at the screen. Thanks Jesse, you saved me from buying something I would have ended up throwing out my window after smashing up the house.
I need to swing by and do a kick flip at evil empire soon 🙏🏻
YES PLEASE.
Just bought ten thousand laces if it takes a couple tries 😅
@@JesseDriftwood ....pronounced " The Evil empire! " We must not lead the unwashed subjects to believe they have the right to shorten proper titles. In fact, this whole concept of rights should remain foreign to them. Please, continue with your good work. Toil on!
Not that DJI is perfect, but DJI really does need to make a slider or something like the SlyPod that coordinates with their gimbals.
yes please
yes please.
Or we could get Tilta to make that .... hint hint.
I’m down for anyone to take a stab at this style of product. So many possibilities!
@@JesseDriftwood I mean, Tilta has that cooperation with DJI. And their Tilta Flow and the RIng are pretty amazing. So they'd be the perfect target for making one that works with the Ronin RS2.
That intro shot makes me one to buy one… except I don’t know if I need more gear to hate using 😂
I’ll let you know when they release a version that actually works 😘
32 seconds in and I am already amazed at the simplicity and complexity of the opening shot… bravo
Even you explaining it made my head hurt lol, but the shots you’ve got out of it are freaking sick haha
how your brain works 🤯 blows my mind! that bit before the ad read with the camera moving in sync with you. I'm like 'WHAATTTT!!!!?????" as in the best thing EVER 🤣
I wish I could give this video a double like, because it truly encompasses the great majority that we all buy as content creators.
The manufactures always come up with great ways to hype us up about new products and get their grubby little hands into our pockets (because we are gear addicts and they know this) and most of it is so frustrating from delayed delivery after prematurely announcing it, to when we finally get it and find out we don’t need it or it just flat out sucks 🤣
AAMAZING .
I had a similar back and forth with a company recently, and rage-bought the whole thing just so I DIDNT have to review it I totally feel your pain! And I’m so glad I didn’t get it for free because I am PULLING MY HAIR OUT
love your honest review!!!! I wonder what youtube would look like it more of us just bought stuff
Haha I completely feel you! I’ve had a few interactions like that too (some where I bought and ended up being super happy with it but still never dealt with them again out of how annoying it was).
I’m actually really working hard to get to a place where I only ever review products that I’ve purchased myself… but I’m not there yet! lol
@@JesseDriftwood Surely you have mates who've bought gear that both you and they have no affiliations with? Maybe a "Why the hell did they buy it?" review. Would enable avenue for more honest reviews which are wanted by most people on here. May not necessarily end in a bad review either. Cheers.
@@stephenl9486 we’ve actually planned some short videos for random pieces of gear around the studio, but a lot of the stuff the other guys are using I’m really just not all that familiar with or don’t often have a need for myself (wireless transmission, wireless follow focuses).
I appreciate the idea still!
I could make a list of all the things I loved about this video but I'm just gonna go ahead and say I loved this video. Just perfect. Honest, well made and all of that stuff. Loved this. Thanks for the extremely high effort for this! 😊
As a mobile developer, I have to say that it's really easy to fix most problems. like, move slider, make padding for a button etc. There is no reason to "rebuild it from scratch"
Really appreciate the detailed explanation of all the product behaviors! There is a lot of potential with this product combo, hope Moza will take notes and act upon the issues to not miss out on the opportunity.
Finally. A honest gear review - we need more reviews like this! Well done.
Thank you man for your brutally honest review. Other youtubers should learn from this video and stop misleading people.
Jesses intros always undefeated
LOVE the way you personified the Sony on the gimble during the sponsorship-segment !!!
That opening is the epitome of an idea executed perfectly. So. Good.
14:41 hahah please include these hypothetical terrible situations in every video 😂
This is one of the most epic reviews i ever see
I feel you Jesse, I had the same problems when I tested this combo. I specifically mentioned in my review that "WHEN it works, it works flawlessly", but man... there were frustrating times too. I hope they improve the app.
Great honest review. Recently I bought the Aircross 3 and send it back after a few days of fiddling around with it. It could not support the advertised weight and thus constantly went into sleep mode. I also had the follow focus. What a mess! The attachements only work for a particular style of lenses (focus ring at the front of the lens), the motor gets loose all the time and you have to reconnect and calibrate the follow focus each time you turn the gimbal off. I wasted sooo much time on a shoot, until I finally gave up. Luckily a friend brought his Ronin. It worked right away.
I didn't even use the App much, it felt more like a gimmick.
Ohhh buddy. I’m with you on this one. Been using the slypod these past few days and experiencing the same thing.. but I’m able to get a shot that I would normally not be able to get even with another person.. thanks for the awesome videos ❤
I have an extremely low tolerance for bad UI… I would much rather just do more or try something new with what I’ve got, rather than agonize my way through something “better.” Your patience and dedication to the shot is admirable
Haha thank you! The problem is that once I have an idea for a specific shot, I don’t like changing that idea.
@@JesseDriftwood if the app would just let it bounce……it would be soooo much better.
Always amazing, Keep being yourself my friend 💪
"slider" I about fell out of my chair laughing at 9:29...
Imagine trying to fiddle with this thing on a gig. Thank you so much for doing this review. None of the other reviewers mentioned any of the quirks of the Moza Slypod. Saved my like $700, I would've tossed that thing into a lake lol
I really hope they adsorb this review into their hearts. This shiz would take two months of pay for a developer to refine the app based on THIS explanation. They could bullet point what is needed from what was expressed here, code it up, update the GUI for iPhones other than the friggin 8 and SE (home buttons) and become a company of hero’s by showing that they are invested in customer input that ACTUALLY leads to product refinement (especially elite level filmmakers like YOU with REAL workflow obstacles). You’ve done ALL the R&D for em already!!! Great video.
Literally have had this in my closet for MONTHS and never thought to combine my gimbal 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ this is amazing
While I would never buy this for use on my channel, I applaud an actual honest review. Thank you. I would love to see their response.
Brilliant review, I agree wholeheartedly, I got the slypod pro and only use it in one mode, video, speed set to 2, gets me 5min of max distance motion, enough for 10seconds of 1” interval timelapse, seeing how bad the app is, I didn’t even bother to connect it to my MOZA Air 2 which I also have, but now seeing your video it just confirmed my suspicions. For that one thing I use it for, it’s brilliant, and I would say still worth the money, but I have this one specific use for it, while others probably would want other uses from it which as you’ve explained are incredibly frustrating
Sounds like a great opportunity for Moza to help themselves. All they have to do is fix their own real problem, and you and all of their customers can be happy. Sounds like they are so close to having a great product!
“I use it on every single project and hate it”
I thought it was Premiere Pro 🙊
sassy emailing Jesse and roasting product Jesse are my favorite kind of Jessesesssss lolol
your videos are top notch bro 4 real. yur videos are so.e of my favorite and I learn something on every1. u r awesome
At the beginning of the video I really wanted one, it looks so cool, and those shoots and time-lapse are incredible! By the end of the video I wanted to scream into a pillow. I totally know the feeling. Apps are synonymous with pain.
Fantastic review! I also have an Aircross 2 (not the Slypod). It’s an ok gimbal (it does drift sometimes)and the app is an absolute nightmare. But both have so much potential!
I reached out to Moza because I ordered something directly from their webshop and they had put an incorrect label on the package so it was refused when it arrived here in the Netherlands and was returned to sender. I got the weirdest responses from them, their website doesn’t really function, they don’t have anyone that can speak English and I have no idea where my package is now.. so I get your frustration. That whole company seems to be a mess. But that’s such a shame, because the concepts of their products i think are awesome and they ALMOST work fine..
Great review Jesse! Great to see a really honest review on something! This is why I don’t like things only controlled by apps, I’m not all that tech minded, I’d just never use it if I had it.
Also this was amazingly shot, massive respect to you using that piece of trash app to get those shots!
Now this is a review! Well done. Very articulate and well explaiined.
More of these reviews! I want to hear the no holds bar version of reviews rather than the "This video is sponsored" reviews. Jesse went off! lol
I really love this kind of reviews, when the content creator takes risks and obliterate a product that the company presents as a "revolution". Doing that is insuring that company will never give him a product to review in the future but at least we can trust that the review is legit.
Much respect!!!!
This man out here making gear reviews with more story than a Netflix series.
Jesse, I feel you. I am currently in therapy for Edelkrone disorder. Same kinds of needless aggravations, inconsistent performance and connectivity issues.Only their gear is about 3 to 4 times more money. So while you go crazy, you go broke. It's like a two-fer.
I was looking for another solution, thinking Moza might be the answer, but as you so deftly described, it most certainly would be a death sentence on my part were I to purchase their gear.
Thank you so much, I will keep looking. I have a few bits of Edelkrone gear for sale, cheap... didn't think so.
Love that top down shot and the tracked text so SICK!
Exactly how I felt about mine and what I was trying so hard to talk about in my review of it on my channel. UGH! I hope they fix some things.
The piano sound effects killed me 🤣
Great review. You can tell how much you want to love this slider from your frustration in the review.
I was tempted to buy one but had a feeling it would have these sort of issues, thanks for sharing.
Ha! That was priceless 👍😄 Reminds me of my DynamicPerceptions dolly with the 3-axis motion controlled head… which required a lot of fussing while trying to dial everything in on a tiny screen using a few buttons. The solution you described with being able to physically line up the start / ends points would be awesome.
Would love to see Edelkrone do their Version of the Slypod. Their Stuff actually works, and 90% of the things frustrating you with the controls etc. are why im using Edelkrone`s Gear. It just works as you expect it to.
The ending was sublime!
Hahahah I love the honesty and talking about the back and forth of a company
Love this video and breaking the norm with gear reviews. Thanks for the honesty Jesse, keep doing you!
massively inspired storytelling. Felt like I learned so much just by seeing how you shared your thoughts.
This is a real review- genuine and concise. More pease!
Great video, voicing both how great the hardware can be, and your justifiable frustration with the software. It felt even-handed, not like you were trying to bash the product, and also showed the great things that could be done with it.
Yeah, I love the Slypod hardware and AirCross 2.
Hey Jesse, have you checked the Edelkrone stuff? I have plenty of their motion control hardware, and they are totally reliable 100 % ... no frustrations...
Man, I had a laugh with all your honest comments about the moza app and the issues with the hardware.
Anyway, great work. Admire you and your work here on RUclips 👍
You should call ABB. They had this figured out in 1995. Programming a real industrial robot with many more moving axles.
Have your verdict changed in the last nine months? Have the gestation period improved the app?
The ending 😂
Man. Your videos are amazing.
Thanks man!
I bought the first Moza Slypod and Aircross that were supposed to work together, they didn't. After weeks of going round and round with customer service I was ready to just accept that it wasn't what I had hoped. Then I took the gimbal out on a cold, but above freezing day and suddenly some features stopped working altogether. Back in the warm house everything was fine. At that point I told them I expected a full refund and after a few more weeks of butting head I finally got return authorization. Then I let myself be tempted by the new Slypod pro. Better, but still not what it could be and I have no interest in trying to pair it with one of their gimbals. I keep hoping another company will come up with a similar product that works.
After that dub in, I really, REALLY want a toxic avenger/ RoboCop style superhero that got fused with faulty camera gear called SLIDER.
for the loop issue. you can try press + and - buttons for seconds. it will loop without app involved.
think it will fit your workflow.
This should serve as a lesson to PR people in the tech community, playing gatekeeper or trying to influence the creator's narrative won't help your brand to make friends. Hope you're happy Moza PR guy.
I wish I could send this video to Josh Yoh
He just did a review of another motion control w projection sync , follow focus and on and on w so many ( things that could go wrong ) features .I have been burned so many times by promises from gimbal companies, rhino or edelkrone ( they say they will look into it but never do ) that I was better off just building an all manual setup ( reads I had to hire someone for each movement I wanted) motion control wannabe arms , drones . It’s so refreshing for someone who tells the truth
I follow Make Art Now aka Josh Yoh and use his flawless Overhead Orbit . He just did a review on July 1, 2022 or July 2nd 2022 of the Axibo
ruclips.net/user/attribution_link?a=mxF3kAvetpCbd4SG&u=/watch%3Fv%3DjuiKqhgdTE4%26feature%3Dem-comments
But … lots of promises from this company . I don’t want promises I want a fully functional GI ish product .
Oops typo like the filming products as of late they never follow through of the IT firmware . Again I appreciate the real review
This is the most real review ever.
What an honest and direct review ... simply awesome ! I also had a few hiccups with those combinations hoping Moza fixes/upgrades the app as it's the source of the issue. BTW loved the ending 🤣
😅 that app looks jaaaanky 😅 the slider itself looks neat tho
#edelkrone for the win. Every gripe and concern has already been done with the edelkrone system.
So weird. I would really like this product as well haha! I have the same problem. I’m always filming by myself!
I got one of the originals when it first came out + the aircross 2. Similar experience with the addition that my slypod had a side to side wobble 90% of the time. It has been sitting in a closet forever unused. I REALLY wanted to like it, as I needed something to do overhead shots with. I can stabilize out the wobble in post but for the price, it just made me mad every time I used it.
I love your honesty! This is awesome.
I love this review! I wish more reviews were like this.
hey you have to check out the ifootage nano slider it is the fastest usable slider ever, it has a touch screen, you can physically move the camera make the A and B points and start it is SO amazing ... not the smoothest but i do not want to change it for any other slider... but i wish they would make a highpowered version
I hope you don’t expect to be on MOZA’s Xmas list 😉. Thanks for the honesty.
Nice one, I have a load of tools are not perfect but have work arounds or just think why didn’t they do this or that. Anyway thanks for that enjoyed it the well like the stuff you make.
Thanks Sam
Haha, I wound up using the syrp mini genie rotating deal with the slypod. You have to use two different apps, but it’s not nearly as complex.
Jesse aka the intro master
Even your ads are fun to watch !
Goddamn! Even after all this, now I want one of these! Why do I hate my future self so much?
Great to discover this video. Love your style. I only just found the slypod and love the concept, but deep down hoping someone makes a better version. Amazing potential, tragic disappointment. This is a great video though, in detail and information and inspiration. Thanks!
Thank you thank you for making this review. I’ve noticed and have been admiring your motion controlled shots ever since you started using it. And was seriously wanting to buy it. But I think i have to wait till the new version or new app. Ps love the way you make vids!!
What a great video.. very entertaining...love the pros & cons...would I buy one after seeing your video? Humm.. let me get back to you on that.
Sorry to hear that bro I have left idea of Moza company which is not transparent at all since Air 2 was breaking apart like screw will not longer screw in or rubber on handle will come of or gimbal will just drain battery out while not in use or app won’t reply work for a Timelapse, while we users setup Facebook group where Moza can’t delete comments or post as it happen on there’s official group not mention theirs customer service not responding on email after purchase or where to send broken gimbal or buy as example that one screw which where out after few time use, I just give up and then I discover this monopod and I decided not to spend money as it will be in 99% crap same as £500 gimbal
Good luck man love your content
Regarding the app disconnecting issue I would suggest use Android phone. In samsung phones most app stays open in the background where u left them that might work.
Jesse you’re the man, thanks for this!
Great video! Great Thumb and Title, great shots! Go on!!!
Brilliant review! If the product was less buggy it's the sort of thing I would buy!
Hahahahaha start of the video… omg I need this for my RUclips setup… see the app in action … nope NEVER 🤣😂
Hahahaha
Honestly before the cons I was sold on this could think of a bunch of ways this would improve my videos and then bam cons :/ thanks for saving me the money you almost got me to spend haha
This was a super creative and entertaining video, thanks Jesse!
Dat intro was sliiick
They should make the app open source, I feel like it would be fixed by the community in no time.
I have a love/hate relationship with my Edelkrone gear. Mind you my stuff is the older hardware. They stole my "power everything with a V-Mount battery" approach when I was working with support on troubleshooting. I had to go there as it would take so long to get a reliable setup that it would kill 2 canon EL batteries. The V-Mount approach gave me enough time to get things working.
Now, Edelkrone has provided a wired setup to multi-component reliability *should be better. They've also added a V-Mount power option to drive all the components.
