Can the Genie Mini be mounted on the Rhino ROV ...

Can the Genie Mini be mounted on the Rhino ROV Pro? I'm trying to find a work around since ROV Pro doesn't have a pan/tilt. Thank you for your time.
Asked by: Tony
This can pan, but I think the Rov Pro has its own motor. I think a more eloquent setup would be to go all Syrp. However I’m not familiar with what Rhino line of products so perhaps they offer another solution for pan/tilt. Having it all work on the same app or method is very nice. So to sum it up. Yes it could be used but why would you if there is a better way.

Does this support fully automatic capture of the ...

Does this support fully automatic capture of the entire sky? I'd like to be able to program specifically what sequence of camera positions is used to capture the sky. I use an equatorial mount for tracking the sky, and currently manually re-position the camera between each set of exposures. Does this 2-axis genie mini allow me to automate this?
Asked by: Brian
This is a programmable system. While we are not specifically aware of an automatic setting to capture the sky, you should be able to set it up to perform as you need it.

The link going from the Genie to the camera is a shutter release for Time Lapses. You can use this system without a link from the camera to the Genie for video.

If the device is not used, How long will the battery keep a charge?... thanks.
Asked by: Dan
We do not have information on how long this product will stay charged when not in use. However it is a best practice to always charge your gear before a shoot, even if its last state was fully charged.
