[18.85 lb] Surprisingly simple to create panoramas with, very portable. I have a Gigapan Epic Pro head that works well, but it's not this easy or flexible, and it's nowhere near as portable... it requires its own backpack. The head itself has also always had a little play where it attaches to the tripod. And, there's no mobile app so you can't store settings between uses.


You can take this kit down until it easily fits into a camera backpack with the rest of your gear. Note that the gear noise is audible, so while it can be used for video, e.g., time-lapse or hyperspeed, you'd not want to capture audio at the camera.


Otherwise a very good solution at a fair price.

[328 ft (100 m)] There were many reviews that mentioned poor battery life, loud noises and poor customer service. Fortunately, I haven't needed customer service. I find the device quiet and it worked as advertised. It was a bit of a learning curve to figure out, although they have good how-to video's. They just leave out a few things you need to figure out for yourself. Sony's require special menu settings as described in their documents available on their website. I like it a lot.

[328 ft (100 m)] The product is great. I'm specifically using this with the turntable kit. It's fantastic. However, no one really seems to mention how loud this little unit is. I was trying to shoot product at midnight with my noise-cancelling headphones on and my girlfriend had to come ask if there was a way to muffle the sound because she could hear it in the room. Still gave it 5 stars because it works as advertised and in the end the sound won't come out in your videos/photos but kind of annoying when you're going through the process.
I'd still recommend it but mention the loudness to anyone interested.

[18.85 lb] an affordable long distance time-lapse solution, just add a genie for motion control. best when used with a fast-ish shutter speed as being on a cable there can be slight movement, especially when outdoors.

[18.85 lb] The Genie One operates at about half or less of the volume (motor noise) of the original Genie. I had a VERY difficult time connecting to a brand new iPhone 12 to do the firmware upgrade and was about to give up and return it to B&H. I was able to update both of my 1st generation Genie Mini on the first try. The Syrp website suggests using an Android phone. I live in an all Apple household, and I was going to borrow a friend's Android, but tried one last thing. I have a 1st generation iPad Mini, and tried loading the newest version of the Syrp app onto it. That worked, so I tried connecting the Genie One, and voila, the iPad downloaded the update and loaded it onto the Genie One on the first try. There are some very nice upgrades to the app and device and all are compatible with the 1st generation Genie Minis that I have for pan/tilt. All in all a great system, but there were big hiccups on the firmware updates.
