 Hello everyone, this is Amit Don of AmitDon.com Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video and I'll be presenting the grip gear movie maker director set. So this is the box you're looking at and basically this is an electronic motorized rail slider and it comes with few other accessories. So I'll just go over them once I open the box and then I'll show you some sample video clips and I'll give you my non-affiliated opinions whether this is a good product or not and this was purchased with my own money. If you were to buy an electronic or motorized rail slider in a larger scale because the smaller size was not available so this type of product or instruments were only accessible for the movie producers or movie makers but due to the technology now it's ordinary simple person or an ordinary youtuber like me can have access to these electronic rail slider and micro dolly just like that. So that's a good thing that you know we can have this type of accessories to make better and smoother videos. So I'm just going to show you some of the specs in the back which is included in the box. So the first thing you're going to look at is the motor which is right here and it gives you a 360 degree panoramic function. You can just like you know put it on a tripod to do time-lapse video or 360 degree panoramic video and then there's the rail which you know you have to set it up. It should be easy to set up and the another good thing is that you can buy additional rail to make it longer but I'm going to just stick with whatever I have and then this slider the motorized slider actually then just like it goes from one side to another side of the rail and then it has a loop function and what it means that once it reaches this part then it just like you know keeps going to the other part and then it just keeps going back and forth and you can actually make this either horizontal or vertical to make it a video any way you want and this motorized dolly or this motor can actually turn into a motorized dolly which is a micro dolly and then you can use this micro dolly to give it different type of motion for example it can go in circle or it can go like you know moon-shaped square or it can have different shapes which you'll be able to control by changing the wheel setting from here or the wheel rotation so let's open the box and we'll take a look at it what inside this was purchased with my own money there's no affiliated links no a sponsored program or no nothing so the opinions and review you're gonna get there totally honest and unbiased so the box should be very easy to open and once you open the box and you can see that all the stuff is in here so the first thing I'm looking at the remote control and they have included some USB cable so this is not USB-C this is just regular micro USB and this looks like the rail and then we have the motor right here and this is the part that can turn into the micro dolly so let me take this out one by one and then I'll show you all of them at once and then once I install that then I'll show you how it works hello everyone I have had a few days to try the grip gear electronic slider and the motorized dolly so I'm not going to show you how to set it up because it's really easy and simple all you have to do is just to follow the instruction manual and then you'll be able to do it however I'm going to show you something which you may have difficulty with and that's what I'll show you and also I'll give you a few tips so the first thing is that this is the motor and which is going to turn into the micro dolly but the problem is this is kind of very tricky to fix this with the the grip right here so if you do not do it properly then there's a chance that you might break this and what I figured out is that there's a trick doing this which will make it very simple and easy so what you're going to do you're going to just hold it this way and you're going to take it this way and you're going to insert this side on here first and this side or this part later so if you do that then it's going to be very easy and simple so for example so you're looking at it here so take this part and this hinge here you put it in there and then you match it with the cut there so if you do that then what's gonna happen that okay so so see you put it into the right place and then this part hasn't matched yet so you just put a slight pressure and see it's done now this is okay but if you do it other way then it's gonna a lot of time and there's a chance you're gonna break it so very careful with this part or section and always match the first section right here and this one later on then it's gonna be much easier and then all you have to do is just you know put the ball here and then this is going to turn into a micro dolly so basically this is the main engine of everything now what I noticed with this that let's say if you're running on a piece of cloth or table runner or anything that it has difficulty sliding so what you have to do is that it's very good on surface like you know flat surface smooth surface but if you have any paper or anything then it gets very like you know troublesome to go over the bend or bump so I'll show you right now what I meant okay so what you turn this on by pressing the power button right here okay so it looks like it has run out of battery so this is something else I was going to mention you later but because this is happening now so this thing doesn't keep its power so you have to charge it frequently and you use it just one time then the power goes out and you have to keep charging so that's a fault of the product it works but you know the power is very the battery life is really low so you have to just like you know keep charging each time you use so I'll just you know charge this and show you will show you what I was going to show you so I had to charge here the motor again and now it should have full charge so let's turn this on so you can see that mirror is there's no motion right now so what I'm going to do let's start with the slower motion for example we'll try for and I'll turn it on okay so if you look very carefully you're not going to be able to see it because of the very slow motion but it's trying to you know pass through the bump right here but it's not able to because you know it has difficulty passing through small bumps on the on a surface so it has to be a flat surface like that but let's see if I increase the speed then eventually it will be able to you know go higher so let's say if I do five still trying still trying but very slow and then let's say six seven but you can see that there's it's lagging right on the edge so let's do nine which is the maximum speed and then now you can see that you know it's able to pull it up and now it's passing that bump so if you are you know using this on a flat surface with on top of something like a tablecloth or runner or anything then it's going to have difficulty passing that bump or any you know uneven space so that's something to remember now what I'm going to show you is how it performs on the rail slider so the setup is very easy you have to just you know follow the manual but I'm going to give you one tip right here so the tip is you have to insert this first here and then you need to attach it so if you attach it first then you won't be able to you know insert it so what do you just you know insert it this way and it's gonna get stuck so you have to just you know pull the lever up which is going to be right here so you have to just you know take this off and if you do it then you have to just you know pull this lever up and that will make it you know slide and then once you attach it right here and then you know you just tighten the screw and you can actually you know shorten the lengths so let's put it here so I'm going to just you know shorten the length by moving this closer okay so it looks like this is a little bit tight and so you kind of have to like you know lift it up on the edge on the both sides and then you can just like you know make it shorter or you can just hold it like this and you can still move it on here even if it's attached like this but I prefer to take it out all the way okay so you have it right here so I tried it putting a mirrorless camera it still works but it's a little bit heavier so it's best if you put a GoPro or action camera so now we're gonna just see how it performs on the slider so I'm gonna just turn it on by pressing the button I'm going to put it the remote control is not going to work unless you come close to the section because that's where the sensor is so if you just do it from here it's not gonna work so you have to do it from here okay so now let's okay so it's not moving because I didn't close the lever so I put the lever and then still not moving okay so now you can see that it's moving okay so this is speed 7 and let's go to speed 8 the speed 9 you cannot go above the speed 9 and it makes a little bit noise at the speed 9 and if I do speed 8 still makes noise but a little bit you know lesser so I was I had camera on top of it and looks like you know my camera didn't pick up the noise so this noise actually doesn't it's not that obvious but it's something to keep in mind so it works very well on the slider but sometimes I notice that you know on this attachment right here if you don't it don't tight it closely or properly then it gets like you know stuck here then you have to increase the speed or just you know push it a little bit so that's how it works and let's make it 9 again and you can see once it hits this side right here it's going to just you know keep continue going back and forth so you can control it how much you want to cover and even you can buy additional rail if you want but I think what they gave is good enough so another thing I noticed that this section right here so this this part or let's this part you cannot you cannot you know move it I tried it but I didn't try it harder but I think this cannot be removed because I have a feeling that this is attached so I didn't like you know I was not able to do anything but if someone knows if this can be removed and put it like you know this removed from this part let me know in the comment section so basically that's all there is and just to you know wrap up the review of comparing what you're paying and what you're getting this is not a bad product and the review is non-affiliated unbass and honest and if you try to buy similar thing from other manufacturers is going to cost you like you know two three four times higher than what you pay I paid I believe this is about hundred seventy dollars or in the two hundred dollars range so I paid only about hundred twenty nine dollars which was on sale I can actually show you very quickly right here so so if you take a look at it I paid about hundred twenty nine dollars which is a very good deal because I checked for other manufacturers you know the same thing runs for three four five hundred dollars or even higher so it works but it has some like you know flaws and which I do I mentioned for example one of them is like you know it cannot pass a little bumps if you are using it as a micro dolly and the battery power doesn't stay too long you have to just keep charging it and except that the quality is not extra fancy or not you know fancy but it's not bad either you know the it has plastic feeling and everything and but you know I cannot complain about the quality because of the price and then other problem I faced is that you know I touched this section to the micro dolly so you have to just you know be very careful and do it the way I showed it before so overall there's nothing to complain about and you know I'm happy with the purchase thank you for watching forget about subscribing this channel forget about like this video there'll be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly
