ok hear me out

despite the negative reviews about the product, i decided to bite the bullet and order one because it was about $60. worst case scenario, I will be out $12 for the return. let me tell you that was the best decision i made. I love this thing as it does exactly what i wanted. setup was a bit of pain as it required an update to work, once i did that, TADA!!! ive got a motorized slider under $150 which is impossible

can I use the panning features with a motorized slider from another company?
Asked by: semasa
You can however it can only synchronizes with SYRP products. if you intend to use it with a GVM slider for example you'd have to use 2 sets of controls 1 for the GVM and a second for the SYRP. this makes it much more difficult to use as oppose to getting all components from the same brand.

Good morning, interested if the genie one operates from the same Syrp app as the other Syrp genie devices? Also, the Genie One must be operated from the app only, no motions can be set directly from the device, right? Also interested to know the maximum distance for the Bluetooth connection from the phone with the Syrp app to the actual genie one setup? Thank you!
Asked by: Marc
The Genie One uses the same app as the other Syrp products. It does not have buttons on it therefore you must control it through the app. It is controlled via Bluetooth which has a range of about 33ft. however, your distance will vary depending on your environment.

How loud is the motor? Will it be noticeable if it is running while someone is speaking to a room?
Asked by: Jeff
The motor makes noise that may be picked up by microphones depending on the distance between the motor and the subject or the motor and the audio recording equipment. We recommend mounting microphone equipment at least a few feet away from the motor to avoid sound issues.

I see what the maximum speed is. What is the minimum speed?
Asked by: Jonathan
The Syrp Genie One Motion Control Pan Head/Linear Drive is very high precision and allows for very slow and smooth movement for time-lapse photography. Manfrotto/Syrp says the minimum speed for panning is 0.084 degrees and linear movement is 0.084 mm a second.
