Pan control won’t link Very disappointed in this app. Was looking forward to controlling the pan head as well as the slider motor with the app, but the app has a hard time linking to the slider motor and will not connect to pan control motor at all. What a waste of tech. Very disappointing. I was very excited about the possibilities of having second camera automation at an affordable price Might return this slider completely due to lack of control features. It was highly recommended by several professionals, but apparently I’m not as fortunate to get a working model

Decent enough initial release, but doesn’t compare to edelkrone’s app (granted edelkrone gear costs way more). In the future it would be nice to have the ability to apply a curve to the speed so there’s control over how the camera eases into positions. The ability to manually input the number of seconds for a move to be completed rather than a relying on graph with sliders would be great too. In timelapse mode, there is only a shoot move shoot functionality (which is great if you can find the right cable for your camera). But for users who don’t want to rely on Zeapon’s motor to control camera shutter and prefer their own intervalometer, it would be great to allow continuous slow movement over a chosen period of time. Just my initial thoughts after using the app for only a short while. Overall, does what it needs to. Pairing is very easy and everything is intuitive. Just hoping it will continue to improve in the future

All of these reviews say the app doesn’t function, which is true out of the box. I purchased a Zeapon Micro2 plus and the app would not recognize it. I followed the instructions that popped up and, after some googling and finding the firmware page (the site is in Chinese) I was able to easily install the new firmware. Once it was updated the app connected very easily and I was able to use some of the basic features immediately. 4 stars because the app is not super user friendly, neither is the firmware upgrade process. But it does work!
