About this product
Genie II is made up of two independent modules, Linear and Pan Tilt.
Use the Syrp Genie II 3-Axis Epic Kit to create custom 3-axis motorized camera moves. Designed for video capture, this kit features functions such as time-lapse, keyframing, smartphone control, and live view. It includes the Genie II Motorized Pan/Tilt Head, the Genie II Linear Drive Unit, and a 39" Magic Carpet Slider.
The system supports 11 pounds at up to 60 ° tilt when the slider track is horizontal. When used in a vertical orientation, the Genie II supports up to 5.51 pounds. It features a maximum panning speed of 25°/s, with a maximum tilt speed of 11.25°/s. In Video mode the battery has approximately eight hours of battery life, and while in time-lapse mode the battery will run the Genie II Epic Kit for about 12 hours.
Note:
Includes one USB-C to 2.5mm cable; select cameras may require a separately available Shutter Link Cable for shutter control.
Syrp Genie II Motorized Pan/Tilt Head
Create sliding shots and time-lapses with dynamic pan and tilt movements using the Syrp Genie II Motorized Pan/Tilt Head. Set up basic shots using head's built-in software or create complex moves with keyframes and more using the redesigned control app on your smartphone. Joystick control is featured on both the head and the app, enabling you to easily set start and end points.
Utilizing the full 180° of tilt, the Genie II head can support up to 7.9 pounds, and up to 12.3 pounds if only the middle 90° are being used. Weighing just three pounds, this lightweight head is designed for portability. It snaps easily into the separately available Genie II Linear's integrated quick release system to create a 3-axis motion control head for your slider. Interface features include Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and a color LCD display window.
A USB-C cable adapter is included for plugging in your camera for app-controlled shutter release and a quick release plate is included for securing your camera. A future app update will include functions like Bulb Ramping for day-to-night time-lapse exposure, Simple Setup, Live View, 360° Time-Lapse, Multi-Row Panorama, and more.

Syrp Magic Carpet Medium Track (3.3')
The 3.3' Magic Carpet Medium Track from Syrp provides a sliding surface for the Magic Carpet slider system. It supports loads up to 15.4 lb and is compatible with the optional Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps.
Syrp Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps
The Magic Carpet Carriage and End Caps from Syrp are designed for use with either the Magic Carpet 2.6' Short Track or 5.2' Long Track. The Carriage easily slides into the end of the track and includes a brake, a bubble level, and a reversible 3/8"16 and 1/4"-20 threaded screw to attach either a camera, ballhead, or tripod head.
The two End Caps slot into the end of the tracks and have adjustable quick release legs which are easily adjusted by pulling out a lever, without the need for additional tools. The End Caps also include Genie rope lock-off hooks which enable the Syrp Genie Motion Control Time Lapse Device to be easily attached and locked off. Additionally, the end caps have a counter balance wheel which allows for vertical slides with heavier cameras. The Genie rope is simply tied off around the carriage and then thread through the counter balance wheel. A weight is used to offset the camera weight.
Carriage and End Caps are universal to the Magic Carpet system and fit either the Short Track or Long Track
