Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Those who have been watching me on this channel for a while know
that I am a pretty big fan of Moza Slypod E. I've been using this slider for a while.
For B roll shots, product shots and also as an overhead set up. Well, I am happy to say
that there is a new product on the market Moza Slypod Pro. I think you are little bit
too early. I said not yet. What has changed and what has been added? What is new? Let's
look at this slypod in today's video. Gudsen Moza has provided this product for a
review, but I am not being told what to say. Let’s look at the whole package. The weight
is 3,8kg. Nice carrying bag is included. Let’s see what is inside. Slypod Pro
itself, User manual, charging cable, quick release universal pan & tilt which is newly
designed. It is compatible with Arca plate. First and foremost what is an absolute
attention grabber is the design and look. It looks really sharp. Material is carbon
fiber so it is very light however it is the heaviest of all of those slypods. The main
body weighs is 1460g. Unlike the other ones this one comes with a build in tripod which
has built in lock so it can stand on its own. When you press the ring up, it can be
tilted up to 60 degrees in any direction which brings in more possibilities for creative
shots. This is how you fold the legs and open them. Each has a lock. If you don’t
need this tripod, it can be removed. Let’s look at the pan & tilt head which has been
also re-designed. Let’s remove it from slypod. There is a safety lock so I need to
unlock that first to be able to remove it. There are 2 knobs. One for pan adjustments
and the other one is for pitch and roll adjustment. The movements are quite smooth,
actually. It feels very heavy duty, it is very sturdy. I gotta say that it is a big
improvement from Moza Slypod E. I must say. Way more control. The beauty about this is
that you can mount to it your camera, even smartphone, camera on a gimbal, even smartphone
on a gimbal. Let’s look at the body. As you can see there are 2 Arca-Swiss quick
release plates with ¼ inch and ⅜ holes where you can attach different equipment like
tripod or monopod. The beauty about this is that you can mount the head or the tripod
on either side. If you are filming outdoors where you have your camera on top and you
want to manually control the movement, you attach it to this side. For the rest of the
shots you just attach it the classic way which would be tripod here and tilt and pan head
here. This part here is a soft rubber for better grip. Because it is basically a
monopod, you can use this for tight spaces. It doesn’t take too much storage room. One
thing I really like about it that it is super easy to set up. That is why I like to
use this for overhead shots. Storage length is 650mm, Maximum expanded length is 1180mm.
The other models can extend up to 280mm. This one is much longer. It can go up to
530mm. Maximum endurance is the same for all models which is 90 minutes. The lithium battery
is different then the other 2 models, here is the type displayed on the screen and
the charging time is little bit longer which is 4 hours. The other 2 models have 3 hours
of charging time. Maximum payload is less. Horizontal payload is 2KG and Vertical
one is 6KG. On the other 2 models it is 4KG for horizontal and 9KG for vertical. However,
operating speed can reach much faster maximum. This one is 70mm a second, the other
2 models are 28mm a second. The lowest speed is the same for all and that is 0.15mm a second.
So let's finally turn it on and let's see the sound. I'm gonna press it all the
way so it should go fairly fast and obviously the faster it's gonna go the louder it's gonna
to get so this would be the fast speed. And now I am just gonna go very slow and
obviously the slower you go the quieter it is gonna get so this would be how quiet this
could be. It is still moving fairly fast but it is defenitely quieter. It is super
simple to operate this. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn in on, Press + to start
extracting, minus is obviously contracting. Press 2x the plus sign to make it
faster and faster, - is going to contract it as I said before. If you want to stop the
movement you can double press the power button and if you want to fully return to starting
position, just triple press the power button. This is how you would operate this manually
but obviously you can connect it with your smartphone to unlock tons of new creative
ways, opportunities. Now you can connect your camera to the slypod pro via cable but that
cable needs to be purchased separately. Then you would be able to control your
camera to take the photos via the app. Let’s look at the home screen of the Moza Genie
app. Here is your battery level, below is remote control, creative video, silent mode,
upgrade, settings and linkage control where you can connect Moza Aircross 2 gimbal. I
will test that in a future video for sure. Let’s explore the app a bit. Remote control.
If I drag the circle I can get to any position I want. Here is where you adjust the speed.
Once you double tap the arrow upwards it will automatically extract in the desired
speed and that would be regular mode. Gearshirt is where it goes slow, then fast and then
slow again. Acceleration is where it goes first slow and then it goes quite fast.
Let’s check out a creative video. Here we have segmentation video where you can exactly
program moves and timing. You just add path, and select speed and duration. Step time
lapse is next, again everything can be customized. Travel distance, frame number, cycle settings,
exposure time, Interval time and FPS. Last one is gradient step time lapse
where you can set the same things and also increment/decrement interval. Under settings
you can change your indicator light to whichever color you like, check out current
firmware version and calibrate your slypod. Again linkage control is where you would work
with Moza Aircross 2 gimbal. I really appreciate the tripod mainly for product shots
for product Broll which I do quite a bit. It is so much easier to get them done this
way instead of using a regular slider and then attaching it vertically to tripod. It's
just so much faster to set this up and get this done. I also really appreciate that it
can extend much longer because for myself when I am filming the overhead set ups, when
I have second camera filming from the top, it's just a better position for me. I don’t
have to reach with my arms that far, I can just hold them here comfortably and I know
I can reach precisely above me and just film this. Lastly I really appreciate the tilt
and pan head. It has been really hugely improved. It is way sturdier, it is defenitely
huge improvement. Well, this was a first look and introduction of Moza Slypod PRO. So far
I've been really enjoying this product. I wish the motors were little bit quieter
though but so far again very happy. Again, only time will tell. For those interested
