iFootage Moco app timelapse controls

[@iFootageInternational]

Hi John, thank you for the great how to use the app video. Best, iFootage Team

[@johntisbury]

My pleasure. Appreciate the comment and thanks.

[@MexicanStandoffLab]

Hi John, have you experienced pairing issues with Bluetooth via Moco app? I'm on Android and the modules doesn't even appear on the devices list. If I try pairing them via Bluetooth phone settings it fails..

[@johntisbury]

Hi it’s not a problem I’ve encountered although I’m on Apple iOS so not really a direct comparison in terms of user experience. Have you looked at the support forums on iFootage?

[@MexicanStandoffLab]

Thanks for your reply! It turned out to be an issue with my phone Bluetooth since on other android devices Bluetooth it works well... don't know what kind of compatibility issue anyway

[@johntisbury]

Glad to hear you figured it out. 👍

[@thepapadeez]

Thank you for taking the time to document and share. This was ver very HELPFUL!!!

[@johntisbury]

My pleasure. Appreciate you taking the time to let me know, makes it worth the while doing it.

[@RuffKutmedia]

The slider is great but the documentation is not sufficient to help users without a lot of trial and error. I had a chance to take mine out this weekend and found your video to be quite helpful, thank you for putting this together.

[@johntisbury]

Thank you for the feedback and glad to hear this was helpful. How did you get on with your weekend, what did you take shots of?

[@RuffKutmedia]

John Tisbury Yes, it actually went quite well. I was primarily focused on capturing the Milky Way as a time lapse but did mange to get some shots of clouds over a river. Thank you again for putting this video together.

[@johntisbury]

My pleasure. Your projects sound great. I was planning to do the Milk Way last weekend as a time-lapse, however, personal family commitments pulled rank so its still on my to-do list.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Thank you for posting this video. Can't wait to get some footage recorded. Subscribed.

[@johntisbury]

SouthpawAutoworks thank you for your comment and sub. Let me know how you get on and post a link to your output - love to see your results.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

@@johntisbury Will do.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Hey John, my shark slider arrived several weeks ago. I have been using the Target Control for video purposes. Great tool. I'm excited to shoot time-lapse with it. I'm ordering the correct trigger control cable. The cables that came with the slider do not appear to work with my camera (Canon 7D Mark ii)...it doesn't fit. Watching your video a 2nd time, with slider app in hand, was much easier to comprehend. Great instructional video. Thank you. Here's a video using the slider--Target Control: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3OuiYJvoZllorM

[@JasonVong]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

My pleasure. Thanks for your comment

[@i_nahdi]

Thank you so many thanks for sharing your knowledge,video was a very detailed explanation

[@johntisbury]

Thank you for your comment, I am pleased you found the video useful. Thank you for subscribing too. There are other videos I’ve done on the iFootage MOCO app which you may also find useful. There a Timelapse playlist on my homepage.

[@i_nahdi]

@@johntisbury sure i will check them, so nice of u, thankx

[@LEEGENDSTUDIOS]

Hello! l noticed 13:06~13:20 there are so many bump on live recording video. it means filmmakers can't use it properly. is it happenning all the time?

[@johntisbury]

Hi, thanks for the question. The setup I was demonstrating, and the resulting settings I had chosen in the Moco app were for time-lapse with stills, not for video. The preview segment you refer to was to show the camera movements through the time-lapse that I'd just programmed in, rather than a demonstration on video sequence for filming. As you say there are bumps on it, that's because it was in time-lapse mode for photographs, so Shoot Move Shoot rather than continuous movement. Within the app you would set the Shooting Mode to Continuous within Settings, and in the Timeline Control you would choose the Video option from the drop-down menu rather than the Time-lapse setting I used. However, I can understand how that video segment I showed led to confusion and your resulting question. If it helps I have covered how to set the Moco app up for video use using the Timeline Control option: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goGuZqaAp92Nq8k&lc=UgxxtenEddANDH13jNN4AaABAg

[@LEEGENDSTUDIOS]

@@johntisbury Thank you!!!!! Can you also upload full length fast recording. ideo version with moving tilt and pan? I chnaged my mind to buy it after your comment. Thank you!

[@johntisbury]

@@LEEGENDSTUDIOS Glad to hear my comments were useful to you and I hope you enjoy using the product. On the 25th Feb I have a new video being launched on my channel that you may be interested in: *iFootage Target Control setting A to B points the Moco app* The A to B points, or Target Control at the Moco app labels it, is great for interviews and still life video shoots as the camera can track backwards and forwards and repeat whilst you video. I show you how to setup that up. That will cover your request to upload the full length version with pan and tilt. Let me know how you get on with your new equipment when you get it.

[@lachopakapura]

hi john great vid and thanks for sharing. one question i was wondering if you could answer. i notice small micro jetters in a lot of youtube videos show casing the ifootage mini shark. do you have any suggestions on the matter of how to element the phenomenon? thanks and have a fine day

[@johntisbury]

Thank you, glad you found the information useful. I bought the mini shark primarily for time-lapse photography, so the video jitter is not really an issue for me, e.g. it only seems to appear when using the slider for camera movement when using video. I've re-watched the footage for this post and totally agree with you it's not great in terms of smoothness. Mine has the latest firmware too as I updated just before shooting this. If you have a look at Gugr Vamsi's post above he has the same issue and has raised a support ticket with iFootage around the very same issue.

[@michaelesquibel5625]

Anyone know what the Bluetooth Pairing code is? It's not letting me connect through android because I have no code.

[@johntisbury]

Hi Michael, I have no experience with the Android version of the MOCO software, so I'm sorry I'm unable to help. Having a look at the reviews, it does appear to be a bug ridden piece of software. The reviews are not good. You could email iFootage support direct on [e-mail] to get your question answered about bluetooth pairing code.

[@rolandomunari588]

Hi, really good informative tutorial! Any idea if this can do a “time warp” effect like the Edelkrone (or could it be implemented in a firmware update?).

[@johntisbury]

Hi Rolando thank you! No it won't do the 'time warp' effect. You can change the speed that the camera tracks, e.g. speed it up or slow it down along its path on the track. Or it's pan or tilt speed, but it's not quite the same affect as the motion warper or time warper feature.

[@rolandomunari588]

John Tisbury thank you, highly appreciate your prompt response.

[@zuzkarory]

Could you please do a similar video but for video shooting within timeline control instead of time lapse that would be very helpful!!!!!

[@johntisbury]

I’ll have a look. It’s not something I’ve used the app for, but happy to investigate

[@zuzkarory]

@@johntisbury thanks I appreciate it.

[@johntisbury]

@@zuzkarory Hi, just uploaded a how-to for the Timeline Control with video kzbin.info/www/bejne/goGuZqaAp92Nq8k enjoy!

[@juliobarreiros]

Anybody can help me, please. During the update mode my slider locks on a one green led and first one. Is it lock and when I press not change any way. Best regards

[@johntisbury]

Hi Julio, I am unsure of what your error is. I would suggest contacting iFootage support directly to log your fault. They can be reached on *cs@**ifootagegear.com*

[@juliobarreiros]

@@johntisbury many thanks. 🙏🕉️

[@guruvamsi609]

Your explanation is very nice.and information is very usefull.. but in the last minutes while you actually run the slider (iphone video) I noticed so much jittering and i have the same issue how to fix it ? I am seriously worried about it i spent 1400$ on it 😕😏... and now after the recent firmware update it became even worse and that jitter disease spreaded to pant and tilt head 😞☹️

[@johntisbury]

Thank you, glad you found the information useful. This is only the second time I've use the slider for video tracking. I bought it primarily for time-lapse photography, so the video jitter is not really an issue for me. I've just re-watched the footage and totally agree with you it's not great in terms of smoothness. Have you spoken with iFootage? Mine has the latest firmware too as I updated just before shooting this.

[@guruvamsi609]

John Tisbury... i raised a ticket with iFootage today ... explaining the situation ... let see how they responds.. i will update you if i get any response :)

[@johntisbury]

Cool, I'd be interested to hear their response.

[@guruvamsi609]

Thanks for your email. We are sorry so much to bring you such unpleasant experience. Could you please kindly tell us when and where do you buy shark slider mini? So we could make a record and follow up with you. I will contact with our dealer to solve the problem as soon as we could. sorry again, and thanks in advance. this is the reply I got from them. I am also asking them to send me the fix Lets see how it works

[@johntisbury]

This was a request for help with the iFootage Moco Timeline Control app. Anything else I can help anyone with?

[@Scojoin360]

I am having a hard time figuring out how to get the shutter cable to work so that it auto starts the app and the camera. I have a GH5 and I plug the cable into camera and the slider motor, but have no idea how to get them to work together. Any ideas? Thanks the video!

[@johntisbury]

You cannot auto start the app in that way. Plug the cable into the X2 mini and the camera, turn the camera on, turn on the x2 and slider. Then setup up your chosen path in the app and press play. That should then work.

[@Scojoin360]

@@johntisbury I will literally give that a try today! Thanks brother!!

[@johntisbury]

Let me know how you get on. Good luck!

[@KpJohan]

@@johntisbury Is this possible with Canon as well? make a time-lapse and let the slider control when the camera is going to take a photo and not? Canon EOS 6D mark ii

[@TodorVankov]

Thank you Todor

‘Thank you’

My pleasure, glad it was useful.

[@SouthpawAutoworks]

Hey John, the last of the equipment arrived. Watched your video again, dialed in the slider/camera setting, and gave it a go. It's such a cool tool. Your video was beyond helpful. Thank you, again, for taking the time to create this great tutorial. As promised, here's a link to the moving time-lapse video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqHEn4d6jrCIkKs

[@johntisbury]

Apologies for my slow response, your comment dropped into KZbin's spam filter and I missed it. Just spotted it. I'm so pleased my video was helpful and you have had a chance to play and try out your new equipment. Love your moving time-lapse on your automatic gearbox strip down. That works so well. The movement just adds so much to the end result. Good work, thanks for sharing.
