Your reviews are great. I have used this now for over 7 years and my two hints are to use a leveling head to get a lower center of gravity. ant to shoot at 60 or 120 fps as well as a bit of stabilization software to further smooth the moves and make them more dramatic... These little guys are tremendous for real estate video...
@@OttoJulian_ Actually I lied as I got mine in 2014... Oh, and I also slow a move down by up to 60%. Some foreground action just looks so sexy slightly slowed down...
Thanks, dude! I ordered the Neewer a half hour ago, and then saw this video so I cancelled that and ordered the Andoer! That ballhead is definitely worth the extra 5 bucks! I’m going to use it for self zoom-ins when vlogging at home, putting it on a table. And I know: This can be a little noisy, but my audio is actually replaced in post anyway. (Long story.)
Thanks, Otto. My husband got me the Andoer for my birthday to use for my TH-cam videod and it does add interest to my b rolls. It carries my a6400 + sigma 16mm f1.4 perfectly.
Man Otto, you have such awesome toys! I absolutely did not need this, and until this morning didn't even know something like this existed. But I ordered one anyway (through your link). I got the Andoer with the ball. I'm thinking I could get some cool b-roll of me sitting at my bench with the camera doing a half circle around me while I tie. One of my first goals of 2021 is to come up with a cool intro. Some drone footage at the river, and a couple shots of me at the vise. Hopefully this thing will help. :-) Great video my friend!
Funny story: I never thought I would like something like this lol. But it just became pretty handy on some situations, and it doesn't break the bank either. Thanks for using my link!! Oh and yeah, the one with the ballhead is a good deal! I literally payed $25 for that ballhead alone a year ago!
@@OttoJulian_ Holy cow... you hit 1,000 on Thanksgiving, and are going to get to 2k on New Year's Eve! I told you your channel was going to blow up!! I was originally thinking you would hit 10k in 2021, now I think you're going to get to 50k this year. Just don't forget about us little guys when you are the BOSS of all TH-cam tech channels. :-) Happy new year man. :-)
Yeah numbers have been going up lately. 50K seems a bit far away but I like how you seem to have lots of faith in me. Nope, not forgetting about any of you if the channel grows more. I hope we can all keep growing our channels during 2021!! Happy new year to you too Matt!
@@OttoJulian_ I just got mine in the mail today. This thing is really solid. Not very fast, but I suppose it needs to move pretty slow. And good call on recommending the ball. That will make it a lot more useful! Now I'm going to go put a camera on it and chase my cat around. :-)

Great review! You always do such a wonderful job. I've just order one, using your link. It isn't too hard to figure out a lot of uses for this thing. Just don't let it roll off the table edge!
You are the best Otto, I got this dolly for Christmas and I was waiting for you to make this tutorial but you exceeded my expectations 👏👏 great review 🤩🤩 thanks 😊
@@OttoJulian_ No, I haven’t. Today I will I didn’t know how to use it. Sorry for not watching your video earlier. This video is amazing and so complete 👏 thanks
Hey! Does it have an option to move from point A to B and reverse the movement automatically ? like a back and forward movement, to fill yourself without having to be always clicking the remote control?
Can it be programmed to set a certain maximum distance between turns? Can it be programmed so that the turns are made on their own without having to press the button and that it runs for half an hour straight?
Great pieces of learning. Brilliant narrative with able guidance, suggestions, advices. Remarkable indeed. Recently I bought a pocket 2 in Sydney. I will be moving to India soon. Any accessories to be purchased here ? Thanks in advance.
That’s awesome, I did a search for motorised slider. I am not keen on spending 300+ on slider cause I will only use fraction of functionality, they have their place but for my needs currently they are too much. This is perfect and good alternative and much cheaper option. Thank you. I’m guessing there’s a new model by now?
Other than shooting close ups of food or products, what else could this be used to shoot. Cause it doesn’t seem like you can take this out in nature and use it.
hi there, you could if you can place it on a flat surface. It's limited, no doubt about it, but it will just depend on what you are doing and it's not too expensive. Also, there are some manual sliders where you can actually fit one of these devices at the top
@@OttoJulian_ I hear that it can be very noisy ... is that true? Your point about B-Roll is a fair point. It would only be an issue if I wanted to use it while trying to record me talking during a movement.
@@ra9r your camera will pick up the sound of the motor for sure. Filming yourself might not be a great idea with this (unless you don't need the audio)
@@OttoJulian_ lol. I had to go dig thru his catalog to find the video. I'm kinda impressed looking back because I probably watched every one (from when ever I found his channel but I digress). I think this the video where he either broke it our tried to repair it. th-cam.com/video/r_FhtM_69kI/w-d-xo.html
Do both brands have the adjustable wheels as far as moving or sliding them out for a longer lens? You demonstrated that beginning at 7:10 into the video.
Hi, when we attach the camera directly to this 1/4 screw it is not always pointing to horizontal or vertical direction .. we need to tight the screw to become center align .. is there better way to do this ?
@@George-vf7uw heaviest setup I used was over 1200 grams. it did struggle a bit mainly because of the length of the lens but I think 960 grams should be fine

This product popped up recently, great review!
Thank you Marcel!
This dolly is a good item. I have it. But ppl should know the motor noise is easily picked up by the camcorder mic. Bit dissapointing.
Agreed! I really wish it would had been quieter
So it have ab set point? Or do I need an operator? Does it have sensor to stop at the end of the table or anything?
No, there is no sensor. You need to manually stop it or with the remote control

Thanks for your review!!
@@EduardoSinatra yeah I do agree! and it truly helps in many ways.
Hi, great video thank you! I was just wondering if you can put an extension between the dolly and the camera so it can film from a higher pov?
hi, thank you! depending on the height and your current camera/lens, it could be very unstable and for that I wouldn't recommend to do that
@@OttoJulian_ thank you for your answer! 🙏😊
Another nice presentation from you. :)

Where you in my mind just saw this product on aliexpress yesterday
Really? I'm guessing under a different brand?
@@OttoJulian_ andoerand it's going for less than 70 bucks there
Can i use this dolly slider also for vertical videos with my camera? I mean, can i put my cam also vertical and it goes smooth? Thank you!
if it's too heavy it might cause some balancing issues. Otherwise it should be fine
Neewer do another model which is about twice the price, it has a smartphone app for operation, not sure what other extra features though?
do you know what model is it? just write the name, don't post links or it goes to spam, thanks!
Very informative. Thanks. One question though. If I used it to film Vertically, will the balance be off and the camera tip over?
Hello Charlie! it will mostly depend on the weight of your camera. If your camera+lens is too heavy it will unbalance the slider
Thanks for the reply. I feel that it would topple over though. Too bad.
Can i use that on Neewer Camera Slider 67 inches 1/2 Round Circle Dolly?
Hi, do you know a dolly like this that can auto loop?
To film an interview or concert for example.
the ones I've tested can't do that
How did you lighted your backgroung please?
Hi Ralphy. Talking head?
you didn't cover how loud it is...how much noise does it make..?
can it be used with microphone recording close by at the same time..?
Sorry about that. Yeah the mic will pick up the noise if it’s close
@@OttoJulian_ thank you
Very nice information 👍
:) thank you for your comment!!
A real example of the sound that this device makes would be helpful. I hear that it can be really loud but actually hearing it would be very helpful.
Hello Rodney, you are right, not sure why I didn't include that. The camera will definitely pick up the sound, I only use it for B roll
@@OttoJulian_ I hear that it can be very noisy ... is that true? Your point about B-Roll is a fair point. It would only be an issue if I wanted to use it while trying to record me talking during a movement.

I liked your review move on
Hi Yasser thanks!
I think both have the combo. Is Andoer and Newer the same company?
Hi. No, they are different companies
The only thing is they need a blue tooth body strap that picks up your movement without the remote button.
thanks for watching the video!
Looks pretty nifty. The HowToGuy broke his. I'm still on the fence. I want 1 but not in the budget at the moment.
really? how did he break it? lol. This camera dolly is pretty cool. When you have the budget you should consider it

hello Dan, not yet!
@@OttoJulian_ I am deciding between konova tank dolly and the new L5 version. I have not seen any reviews yet
I feel that the L5 is the same as the L4 but they just added the app control. If that’s the case it remains being a good alternative
nice review. year later. still working great?
I don't use it all the time BUT it is still working like a year ago
Is there a App for control the speeds for more slow and more fast movements?
Hi. No, just the remote control
Umm is it programable . does it stop by itself?
Unfortunately not. You need to press a button either on the slider or the remote control to start and to stop it
Can this dolly take the weight of my Canon Legria G25 camcorder please.
It looks like your camera weighs around 550 grams, so it should hold the weight fine
@@OttoJulian_ 😀 many thanks. Just ordered one. Can't wait!!!
how to make this move back and forth?without having to press the button everytime
Hi, it will not do it automatically, it has to be done with the remote control or the button on the device
