It speaks volumes about you as a person and as a reviewer that you were so non-judgemental and even-handed in the way you presented your quest. Really nice to see considering how quick people can be to flame a company when a product doesn't perform. Nicely done!

Gerald Unleashed! The fervor and anger of a polite Canadian unleashing on Moza.

[courteoussammy]

+1000. Thank you for the great answers. Men like you are needed in this world where marketing has become overwhelming. I like it that you not only criticize but also show what should be done in order for things to work as expected. Great positive attitude !

Dude, as one of the most influential Youtuber in the profession, you are really showing more than enough patience with their testing stage product (despite their shitty customer service response).
I believe the idea slypod would drastically matured and fine toned in a few years, especially when every big player like DJI and Zhiyun enter the competition.

[tomdchi]

The slypod concept is interesting. But we really need someone like DJI to come out with a conventional slider with motion control that you can mount one of their gimbals on and use the app for multi-axis coordinated motion control.

Gerald- you are one of the very best on Youtube.
It is SO important to call out misleading claims like Moza’s (in this case).
Moza would have done so much better to make a competition or a contest out of solving some of the problems you shared here, and offering free kits to those who assist.

[DACProVid]

It would be nice if you could revisit this with the slypod 2 and the aircross 3 the app now has a synchronize button that I believe is supposed to allow you to start both movements at the same time (slypod and the gimbal)

I love the Aircross 1 and 2 and have tinkered using a Slypod. I went the multiple device route and it was much like flying using a HOTAS. I needed a second person for focus pull and a third for any jib style movements. We concluded it would be impractical for most projects as far as manpower and ease of use. The Slypod has become a resale item. We can check that one off as fun with experimentation. Also Moza replies usually are open ended and vague at best which usually prompts me to hit a forum instead :D


Great vid thanks Gerald!

Gerald Undone has Outdone himself. MOZA really should pay you for this epic review and feedback

[robertfeliciano]

Great review. Good job keeping Moza honest.
I really like my Moza Air 2, but it has some bugs, they really need to beef up their software team. Now we understand why Syrp and Rhino charge what they do, software.
I've been saying for years that I'd love something like a Moza Air 1st gen where the battery handle pops off and you put that on a slider with motor and they all communicate.

[GudsenMOZA]

Hello, Gerald Undone，we are appreciated for your honest review of the MOZA Slypod and MOZA AirCross 2, and your review of how to use the MOZA Air 2 to make stunning macro videos is amazing. We are sorry about the issues you mentioned in the review. Our R&D department is testing the Linkage Control, and it will come out soon，we will inform you once it is released.

[HoustonBrownPhotography]

Never was very impressed with this product and thought it a bit expensive for what it did. This video confirms my suspicions about it operations as well. Thank you Gerald for all your hard work. Love the channel.

Here is Gerald completely losing his temper after being sprayed with puddle water from head to toe: "Well, this was sub-optimal and probably could have been avoided. I hope we can keep this embracing incident behind us, learn from it and do better in the future".

[Decodingfashion_]

I was exactly thinking of all the possibilities and there comes this video. Great job. Cheers

[colin_rootz]

Thanks for this balanced review Gerald. I had heard of the Slypod and searched for reviews, but there were really only a few product demos. I found it interesting enough that I considered buying one, but you came along in time for me to find out that I should wait for Moza to address the problems/limitations you've found. Many Thanks!

[ShawnKoh]

I was filming a review for the Moza as well and experienced that shake and alot of other mechanical issues. Glad I wasnt the only one experiencing this.

Made this feel very gimicky.

[RobbieMcKane]

Glad someone made a video on this! I've been doing the analysis in my head as to whether or not this combo would be fruitful.

[riparianstudios]

Wooo shots fired. Incidentally Gerald, the experienced DP I worked with on a lot of my productions told me that he finds that post-type sliders traditionally have a lot of trouble being used in the elements--dust and the like tend to gum up the works and disrupt performance. I'm guessing considering the problems some of the Slypods had out of the box, this device wouldn't be likely to overcome those drawbacks?

[mlegrand]

I'm curious if you've heard much of an update on this. They just announced a slypod pro which is also advertised to work with the Air Cross 2. Current pricing on that AC2 is $269 but even at that price, I'd prefer not to buy junk. Hope all is well Gerald!

[radekprusa]

I had a bunch of questions about this combo. You've answered all of them. You've just confirmed my doubts, that this combo can substitute a proper 3D slider/head set for serious work. It can't. Glad to save some bucks and nerves... Great idea but probably still long way to polish it, if even possible.
