### 1/5 — Trash

### 1/5 — Shame on you Manfrotto

*2025-12-03*

The Genie 2 three axis pan and  tilt along with the slider control are incredible pieces of hardware. Unfortunately, Manfrotto bought Syrp and then abandoned the app, basically bricking the very expensive hardware.

### 1/5 — Nonfunctional Abandoned App

*2025-01-19*

This app is the worst, it doesn’t connect to any of your devices, the tutorial page for app setup and key frames fail to load and tell you to check your internet connection, making the genie motion system completely useless.
Every time I try to connect to my Genie devices I just get “Oops, initialization issue, please try again” which is a bug that apparently the Android version of this app got fixed four patches ago.
Absolutely ridiculous that you can buy a product and the only way to use it is a broken terrible app

### 1/5 — You were supposed to be the chosen one

*2024-01-30*

When Syrp came out with the magic carpet it was the best slider in the game. Then the Genie Linear and Genie Pan Tilt brought 3-axis motion control to the masses and the app was good. They changed the game with the Genie II and new sliders and a much needed app update with Keyframes and other features. Life was good. And then Manfrotto took over.

Ever since then, the entire Syrp product line has been dead. No new products, no updates, no improvements. The app has been the same.

The Genie II still works, but is missing compatibility with new newer cameras. The app is dated and is missing features to make it on par with other motion systems. The only positive note is the Magic Carpet Pro slider is still the best in the game.

In 2024 if you are looking for a manual slider, the magic carpet pro can’t be beat, but for motion control look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Fails to Connect

*2023-12-31*

The Manfrotto app fails to connect to the Syrp Genie Mini I have. The Syrp app does connect and works, though with bugs and unreliable disconnects with the device.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even turn on- app cant find genie

*2023-06-22*

Manfrotto what are you doing with this garbage. So disappointed I spent so much money on a product thats completely unusable. The instructions don’t even tell you which app to download and then both of the apps cant find the genie at all. The genie doesn’t power on or off (just powered on all the time) so its just a rubber piece of garbage. I wish it wasn’t. It looked like it was gonna be much better. This makes me question Manfrotto’s other products

### 2/5 — Buggy - panorama causes app shutdown

*2022-10-10*

Can work through the bugs to make it work but the app will normally shutdown 3-4 before you can get it to take a panorama.
