About the only reason I’d use their app for recording, is for the camera-controlled Timelapse function. It simply doesn’t work.
If you do a shirt test, it’ll work fine. But any real Timelapse of 30m to 2 hours fails. Not just sometimes, every time.
I see a year old review that says the same thing, and the app hasn’t been updated in 9 months. Apparently the developers don’t care that their app doesn’t work.
Doesn’t work anymore
I don’t use this slider often, it when I do there is always something new wrong with it. Most recently, if I try to do a movement thats 15 minutes, it won’t move the pan head…just the slider. It’s ruined multiple shots for me that were very difficult to set up. Thinking of just throwing this slider away because no one will even buy it off me.
Honest thoughts
Each time I’ve gone to use it for a time lapse it’s failed me. I can do extremely short time lapses in order to test to make sure the basics work. But when I try to do a time lapse running for even over 20 minutes, the app crashes. Every time. There are two overall faults to the ifootage shark nano, and together they make the entire unit a failure for me. First off, the time lapse function only works with very few cameras, despite all the shuttle release cables they give you, when I contacted their development team about updates to future cameras, they said that they didn’t even have a roadmap for other cameras. I have a canon Eos r, and R6. So that means I can’t do any time lapse with a DSLR, and now the app doesn’t work at all. So it is literally impossible for me to do any kind of time lapse on this expensive unit that I bought specifically to get quality time lapse. Get your ship together iFootage.
Use for timelapse
App used to work fine, but now my timelapse MOCO literally doesn’t work.
Just updated the app at a photo shoot and it won’t connect to my shark slider mini. The old version worked fine. This is so frustrating.
Do not purchase these products!
Now that they updated the app, it no longer connects to my slider. And because there is no costumer service and documentation is trash, It’s now a $1350 paper weight.
Latest update broken
One of the many minor problems with this slider is the lack of documentation, including the total lack of instructions on how to pair it with a device so this Moco app works. The latest update completely outright breaks it, even for people who already had it connected and working. So until this is patched I have a $1400 paperweight.
They broke it
The new version of the app no longer connects to my shark slider mini... HELP!!!!
