Gimbal on Slider under ONE App! \\ YC Onion Hotdog 3.0 Review + Giveaway Winner Announcement

[@G1itchN]

I had to come back to say, thank you very much! After weeks of researching affordable sliders like Konova, Neewer, and GVM I decided to spend a little extra and get this slider. I didn't take much searching to realize I wanted something with a 3 axis motorized head but wow... the prices were far too high... At the same time, I was already looking to buy a gimbal as well so this made the decision infinitely easier. In the end, I decided on the DJI Ronin S with the YC Onion control module. Thanks again and great work! Cheers

[@MarioSoMedia]

That gimbal integration is genius! Great review Se!

[@SePark]

Thanks Mario! Yeh I hope they keep pursuing this technology to make it perfect. If you can fit a gimbal and a compatible slider in a backpack, imagine the possibilities.... (esp after COVID). 😁👏

[@jayf9259]

Thanks for this review, Se. I've been looking for a slider like this one, but didn't want to pay $$$ for one of the Rhino's. Just ordered the 31 inch version (using your affiliate link, of course).

[@SePark]

That’s awesome to hear Jay! Thank you!

[@Purecast9]

Loved the video. Thank you so much. As a KZbinr myself,I really want to get that parallax shot and also need that vertical payload capacity. So,how smooth is the motor with those parallax shots? Great for product shots? I absolutely don't care about the gimbal integration.

[@SePark]

Thanks so much! It's fairly smooth. I also have Edelkrone Sliderone v2. Hotdog is much smoother. Sliderone for example vibrates on parallax shots with longer focal lengths. The only drawback on Hotdog's parallax move is that it takes little longer to setup the shots since the pan movement setup is manual. But once it's set, it's great.

[@Purecast9]

@@SePark Great to hear that. Thank you 😊

[@Purecast9]

Have you used the GVM 80qd? People who have used the GVM vouch that it is a better device than the YC Onion Hotdog. Your thoughts?

[@SePark]

@@Purecast9 I considered that slider too, but the payload is significantly less, which limits the vertical movements with the gear I have. The GMV is quieter and has a full menu control without the app, so I can see it being better for interview purposes since you don't need a lot of vertical movements.

[@Purecast9]

@@SePark But,the GVM is smoother?

[@CamAttreePhoto]

Thanks for the great vid Se! In regards to the time-lapse mode, does it allow you to do shoot move shoot? I already have the Weebill S so if I can use that in conjunction with this slider to do 3 axis motion time-lapse I would be stoked.

[@lims9025]

That is cool. Important last minute gripes and pointers. No manual? It’s ok I always count on internet to provide info. Thank you 🙏

[@overthecounterintel]

Thanks for the breakdown. As far as the issue with the motor on the slider starting before the gimbal moves.. have you tried increasing the sensitivity of the gimbal? Or do the motion control settings over-ride the gimbal settings?

[@hellohogo]

this is fantastic. YC Onion please make a robotic arm!!!🙏🏼

[@DigitalGenki]

Awesome video! Can that 3/8" to 1/4" converter be bought seperately?

[@SePark]

Thanks! I don't think YC Onion has that adapter directly but I found one that has a 4.5 starts on Amazon. Links don't usually come through on comments so I put it in this video description if you wanna see if that's what you are looking for! Thanks for watching!

What tripod and slider to do you suggest buying? Cheers, Brian C. Smith

Hi Brian! If you are looking for a good phone slider there is the Rhino ROV Pro 16 inch slider or Edelkron SliderOne. Depending on the slider and payload, I’m currently in the process of testing and reviewing. Sirui carbon fiber tripod.

[@jeanm7115]

Great review, thanks Se Park. Any updates on the App since this video was published? What I would like to have the App do, the following features if YC Onion are listening :) (Mostly for Product Photography) 1-More programmable points on the slider itself on the way back (not only A left to B right, and not a loop function) for example: A @25% B @75% Left to Right, then B to C @60% Right to Left, then C to D @15% also Right to Left. 2-The above idea will dictate the following parameters to be introduced to the App, A specific point has the following properties: Position/Direction/Action on all points on the slider as well as on gimbal points. 3-All points, slider and gimbal have extra action or property to set and it is for time delay, or pause/release manual button on App with smooth stop/go, this is good for having the commetor record voice over during the video execution on Set. Thanks again.

[@imzaazmi]

Hi..is this compatible with all gimbal?

[@Reility_]

[@SePark]

Haha David!! You crack me up. Um spoiler alert!! 😁😁

[@cas9859]

Hey Se! First of all, great video! I liked how you really showcased the user experience! At 16:03 you said that this slider with a gimbal is not suited for a cloning effect, however I was wondering if just the slider without the gimbal is precise enough to create that gimbal effect with looping. I would love to hear from you! Cas

[@SePark]

Hey Cas, thanks! Yes just the slider by itself without the gimbal is precise enough since the pan movement is controlled by a physical rail. In a way it's even more precise than a motorized pan head since some of those cannot replicate the exact movement again when you turn them off. Since the physical rail doesn't change until you physically adjust it, it can always replicate that movement. Down side of that is of course it takes little manual micro adjustment to get that A to B movement perfectly for the first run. Hope that helps!

[@cas9859]

@@SePark I meant cloning effect instead of 'gimbal effect' hahaha oops. Also, what option would you recommend for me. Basically I want to make a videoclip with me constantly cloned all over the scene, but to make it more dynamic I want to incorporate some very precise (for the cloning effect to still be able to work) slider shots. I would like to be able to create my own angles instead of just the pan / track you get with the physical rail, but a rhino/edelkrone system is just too expensive for me. Are there other options?

[@SePark]

@@cas9859 right. The slider by itself can do that cloning effect but only limited to pan and slide movement. You can’t tilt up and down during the move. There is a new slider by YC Onion called Chocolate Pro Cheese but I haven’t tried it myself to recommend yet.

[@cas9859]

@@SePark Thanks for the help Se! I'll try to find someone on the internet who used the Chocolate Pro Cheese!:)

[@ivancuetowicq]

is it compatible with the crane 3s?

[@svamptrask913]

I got the Zhiyun Crane M2 gimbal. Do you know if there's an app to set an a-point and a b-point using the gimbal without the slide?

[@adnana.nazzal5149]

I really can’t figure it out why there is no slider have 4 axis : truck, tilt, pan anddddd (ROLL) which I can’t find it on any slider ever

[@StarWarsJay]

Hey mate. Another quick question if that’s OK? Those LED wands/lights either side of your set up; what are they? Cheers :)

[@SePark]

Hey Jay! Of course! They are by Yongnuo. One is internal battery (their version ii), and the other one has an external battery (their version iii). Thanks for reminding me to put the product link in the description. I put the Amazon link in the description. They are fairly inexpensive but gives out a decent quality of light.

[@awesome_slyda2059]

just bought a hotdog v3 and bun to use with my Crane 3 Lab, and i'm a little disappointed to be honest. The gimbal and slider do NOT sync up, so you program in your waypoints and by the time the slider gets to even the first waypoint, the subject/object is not in the part of the frame that you want it to be. I'm not saying it's completely useless, but it's not good. You can't use it to shoot products expecting professional results. If you want to dolly across to a subject and the pan as you go by, that's not happening. You just dont know when it's going to start the pan. So, you have to do it by hand. If you're going to do it by hand then you're better off buying a cheaper motorised slider. I suppose it would be alright doing landscapes and stuff, but as for in studio. I wouldn't buy one. Also as a side note. I didn't receive a spare belt and thread adapter with mine. The slider comes with a 3/8 thread on it so you can't mount a dslr directly onto it, or even a gimbal, you need a 1/4. Many of the video's you see state that the adapter comes with the slider along with a spare band for the motor, it doesn't. So to buy an adapter you can get a cheap one off amazon for $12/$10, but, once it's tight the camera might not point in the correct direction. To buy an adjustable adapter you're talking an extra £35/$40 for the very cheapest and about £100/$120 for a good one. Just be aware of this. Can I recommend it? Not without a firmware update fixing the sync issue. But my guess it isn't going to be fixed. When the slider came out 2 years ago this issue was highlighted. A firmware update was mentioned as a solution, but it's never happened. If it's not been fixed by now, they aint fixing it. Basically, this is good as a toy or a hobby. The other problem I've found is that if you create a waypoint and then move the slider and create a second, it doesnt slowly move to the second point. It will hit the first point and stay on it until until it moves to the second point, and then jump to that. It would be better if it slowly went form point to poin. That way you can "track" a subject. There needs to be 2 video modes, a point select, and a drag mode. What you actually can do is create a first point and then use the joystick on the gimbal to track the object, as the app records what you do with the gimbal between setting a and b. The problem with that is this, if ive already completed the move by hand, what do i need the app for? The app really is limited in this regards. Be aware of the limitations before you buy one.

Bought two of these, both had manufacturing defects with the motors/switches and had to go back. Totally unusable. No response from manufacturer. The build of the motor isn’t great and the parts feel cheap. Even at this price I’d expect more. A note on setup. For first time slider users, you will have to use KZbin videos to walk you through the setup as the manual is unclear and the English is very poor. It’s so easy and cheap to find someone to do a decent translation. There are no excuses for using bad ‘google translations’ for professional product documentation in 2021.
