### 1/5 — Avoid their products

*2025-11-30, version 2.2.0*

Money would have been better spent at Taco Bell.  Thanks B&H Deal of The Day!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it even second hand !

*2024-02-14, version 2.2.0*

The company basically died and has been bought by Manfrotto. For those who acquired their products it was a nightmare to use: unreliable wireless connection, the app was constantly crashing, after years waiting for updates they finally gave up and move on other projects. Some of us invested thousands of money in their devices that was unusable. I personally bought 1 Genie mini 1st gen and 3 Genine mini 2nd gen for a total of more than 800$. I have never been able to fully use it ! 

Now they are trying to take down the app, so if you still have their products you will basically have nothing to control it.

### 4/5 — funktioniert gut

*2023-11-21, version 2.2.0*

super zum Arbeiten, auch sehr gute Funktionen um Tymelapses und Co zu Programmieren
einziger Struggle: beim Verbinden  hüpfen die Motoren hin und her, ist etwas nervig aber jetzt auch kein großes Problem

### 1/5 — Useless.. huge waste of money

*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.  Oh and it doesn’t come with the cable to fire the shutter!! What the…. That’s the whole point of the product. So even if it did work I wouldn’t be able to use it until i spent some more money on the cable

### 5/5 — Great video tools!

*2022-05-25, version 2.2.0*

Iam usimg genie mini and genie one and SyrpLab are realy amaizing tools for my timelaps and product video.

### 1/5 — Missing funtionality

*2022-01-10, version 2.2.0*

Bulb ramping which was in the works since more than a year ago never arrived

### 1/5 — Can’t use my new product

*2021-12-01, version 2.2.0*

This app is horrible. The equipment I just purchased is useless because it requires an update and fails every time I try to update the hardware. It should not be nearly this difficult.

### 1/5 — My device is useless.

*2021-11-27, version 2.2.0*

Loved the Syrp Genie Mini (Pan) for help with video event coverage, however this thing from the start has always been glitchy.  Firmware updates have always been a battle and now on its most recent update It’s left me stuck when I desperately need it tonight for a large event, time to start researching real professional alternatives.

Tossing this product in the garbage and deleting the app.

👍

### 3/5 — Ungenaue Bedienung, nicht intuitiv

*2021-10-23, version 2.2.0*

App funktioniert zwar, jedoch sind die Funktionen für den normalen Videoeinsatz sehr eingeschränkt. Ein normales setzen vol Anfangs-, Endpunkt & Max-Geschwindigkeit ist nicht so einfach möglich.
Das Keyframe-Menü zum Einstellen der Beschleunigung reagiert auch nur manchmal auf die Eingaben.
Endpunkte gehen während Einstellung der Zeit verloren und neue Punkte müssen angefahren werden. Für das professionelle Filmset nur schwer vorstellbar.
Generell ist der Grundgedanke alles mit dem Handy zu machen ganz nett, aber dann muss es auch funktionieren…

### 1/5 — Est il possible de faire plus médiocre

*2021-10-19, version 2.2.0*

Inutilisable sur smartphone l’échelle tactile de réglage des rotations est inutilisable. 

C’est à croire que les ingénieurs ne savent pas pour qui et quoi il travaille. 

J’ai jamais pu le servir de mes 3000 euros de matériel Syrp s’en m’arracher les cheveux et perdre de l’argent en temps de production. 

Foutage de gueule.
