Great review. How's the noise from 6' (2m) away? Would it be distracting to the interview subject? That's one reason I didn't pick up the last model.

Previously, the mini had a place in the old system. What I liked about it is you could start with one mini for pan, add a second for tilt, then add the genie for the linear drive. A new photographer could save up and graduate to the next level over time. With the Genie II, the mini is no longer needed. First step is the Pan / Tilt head for $1600 so the system is not as accessible as it once was.

This reminds me of motorized gimbals a few years ago, when the features weren't as nice and the price was twice as much. In a few years, 3-axis control will be smaller, more user-friendly and half the cost (in addition to adding focus control over USB/phone). But if I had to get a system today, this would be high up on my list.

IDK if you will respond to this or not, but what I really need to know how loud all aspects of the linear, panning, and tilting of the motors for video and interview work. I can hear the motors some from your lav mic but the music makes it hard to judge how sound-wise it performs under load, slow vs fast movements, etc. If you could give me your opinion on that that would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Start by saying Very well done video , thnx for sharing. The older version and the mini used a short cable to control the Camera (ex: trigger shutter in move,shoot, move sequence during a timelapse), this wasn't mentioned anywhere in the video.. is this still the case?

Looks like a great piece of kit. Interested to know if it can be used to capture a multi-row panorama - say 3 rows of 5 images for stitching later in Photoshop? And can it offer camera shutter controls like exposure times, delays, etc?

Could the Linear device be upgraded using, say miniature timing belts that are used in some printers and medical devices - probably necessary if shooting angled or vertical multi-pass composites where the cord may stretch in damp weather?

It is a bit noisy even when the slider is horizontal. Certainly noticeable in studio environment. There are better alternatives out there.

i dont really like the center of rotation of the tilting, since the rotation axis is quite a bit lower than the camera just seems weird for me because of the camera moving a lot in the 3d space instead of just rotating around itself like with 2 genie mini
@hooch1981

They have a bracket on their site which lets you use two of their Genie Minis to create a 2-axis panner. Doing it this way lets you rotate in the camera body (or hopefully on the true focal point inside the lens). It looks to be cheaper too, at least for the two minis.

You talked about incline. But showed with the linear modul only. I interesting about the pan and tilt head module in incline/vertically. What are the possibilities? Now I send back Edelkrone Head Plus, because not good in incline/vertically. I need strong usable product for that up to 3-4 kilos! Somebody? I can't find company which can do it even in this higher price range! So, is it any good????

I don't really know since when 1500 is the same as 2500+ and, multiple keyframes, expandability (eg focus motors), load capacity, upgrade program, professional powering options, is considered as less options. Very optimistic showing in the marketing material people putting a red on one of this things, I just don't see that happening in reality, sorry. But hey, each to their own.

I own the entire Kessler system, I prefer to use the Syrp for the majority of the shoots I do. Different shoots call for different systems, Kessler is good for studio environment but has no chance when it comes to travel or portability. Don't forget the necessary accessories like battery, cables, mounts etc. These things add up really quickly.
