I noticed the Betta version was available but never payed attention to it until recently. I wish I had used this on a earlier. There’s lots of controls that make your iPhone act like a pro camera and also you can activate the slider with a clap via the microphone. I still wish the PRO slider would be operated via remote control without the need of the app. That would free up the iPhone to use other shooting apps and other devices like the Insta 360 Flow stabilizer for example. That would allow to do parallax fx in selfie mode. Other possibility would be adding tracking face to the app so you can do sliding and tracking simultaneously. That would be awesome for blogging. ### 1/5 — Just stopped working. *2023-12-09, version 1.5.13* Used it twice for photos and did alright. Tried to use it for video a month later and it just doesn’t go. I connect to the app, hit go to home and it just doesn’t move. Tried everything and it’s clearly just not working anymore. ### 1/5 — No updates for 3+ yrs *2023-08-18, version 1.5.13* Spent good money on their hardware and they have just abandoned the app. All the other reviews hit all the notes. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. ### 1/5 — Drops Settings *2023-07-20* Forever dropping settings. The unit nearly chopped my thumb off. No safety stop on this thing so keep your hands away. ### 1/5 — App no longer functional in 2023 *2023-07-03, version 1.5.13* This app no longer works (tested on iPhone 11 and iPhone 13). After taking the Timelapse footage, once you try to hit save, it will get stuck on an infinite spinner and won’t save your footage. ### 5/5 — Please Read if you are having trouble connecting an iPhone! *2021-07-03, version 1.5.13* I tried connecting my brand new iPhone 12 max pro and received this error: rotate phone 90 degrees. Nothing happens no matter what I did because if you click the “X” it closes the app. After searching for hours I found the problem. You have to drag from the upper right corner to the middle of the iPhone screen. There is a “landscape lock” that you’ll need to uncheck. Once you do that the product works great! ### 1/5 — I don’t write reviews unless the app is truly awful *2021-06-25, version 1.5.13* I bought the slider on a whim because these ROV motion devices appear to be on clearance. That said, the app makes the hardware close to unusable. When I tried to access the camera on myiPhone 11 Pro, I heard this weird buzzing from phone that I’ve never heard before. As it turns out, it was the optical image stabilizer going crazy in the phones wide angle camera. The resultant video was just this vibrating blurry mess. I only spent $70 on the slider when a year ago they were over 300. But even at that price it seems to be money wasted. ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect *2021-03-15, version 1.5.13* This is an awesome slider, my only gripe is that most of my shots are done with an iPhone. This means I have to start the slider and then work the camera settings while the slider is in motion. All of this could be avoided by adding an app to the Apple Watch!! Hint hint ### 2/5 — This app needs an update *2021-01-16, version 1.5.13* This app is limiting honestly. For timelapse on the phone the maximum Quality is HD!! I hope you add the 4k option. As well for stop motion or manual time lapses add an option to manual move one step in the controls. Last update was more than 8 month ago it has potential but you guys beed to work on it. As well if it would make huge improvements if you guys make it compatible with the Filimic pro app as it has all the necessary controls for video and timlapse and should be way easier to develop. ### 1/5 — Provide us point a to point b movements *2020-09-18, version 1.5.13* This slider dose not allow us to select the particular a to b positions, instead we need to run the full length of slider... which is point less .. i was mailing rhino gear for so long to implement this feature but no use ...at this point i will never invest in rhino gear... ## Frequently asked questions about RŌV Motion ### What does RŌV Motion do?
