Thanks for the informative review. Can you comment about the level of motor sound at varying speeds? Also do you know how the ATC compares to Gyroscope straight tracker tech on MGI Zip Navigator models in terms of hill ascend and descend control?
Sorry, I have no experience with any MGI trolleys, so I can’t compare. It’s also difficult for me to comment on the sound over 9 months after I last saw the trolley. I remember it having a steady whine noise whilst it ran on full speed - which was much louder than my playing partners Powakaddy FX1, however it still didn’t stand out as a loud noise.
I don’t think I could cope without Follow after using it for 6 years. A couple of rounds with this highlighted that to me. Hopefully 1 day we see the ATC technology in a Follow trolley.
I’ve had a couple of Stewart’s over the years and I have to agree… without the onboard control wheel I would always go for an alternative, shame really because the trolley looks awesome!
You’re not the first, and I’m sure you won’t be the last to agree! I’d love to see a control on the handle, but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen!
Review showed me much more than others I have watched. The Motocaddy M7 remote is edging for me at the moment because you can control it without the remote. Thoughts?
Glad you found it useful. I’m with you, I’d love to see some controls on the trolley, but I think that’s against Stewart’s mantra! I’ve never used a Motocaddy M7, so I’m afraid I can’t comment on which one is better. The Vertx seems like a very complete trolley though.
The trolley is a remote trolley only. The only button on the trolley is the on / off switch. If you want to use it powered, then you HAVE to use the remote. You can use the trolley with no power by unlocking the wheels. They then spin freely of the motor. I would suggest this is for emergency use only (ran out of battery / forgot to take remote with you etc) as pushing this trolley without power is a proper workout. I’ve done it for a couple of holes before when testing how long the battery lasts… and it’s not much fun. The trolley plus bag / clubs etc are over 30kg, and it’s not the most ergonomic thing to push.
I own a Vertx. It does not, and never has maintained a straight line of travel on an incline. Up and down yes, along, no. I don’t think Stewart suggests this is a feature.
I got the impression from speaking to Stewart that this was a feature. If it’s not, then it certainly holds a straight line much better than the Q-Follow. I tried it on various parts of the course, and it worked (to an extent) most of the time.
Hi mate how do you find the vertx works on side slope I play 4 course regularly one is very hilly a lot of holes with side slopes and pretty severe gradients . And some steep up down hills and bumpy cart paths . I’m torn between the follow and vertx because of this course. What made you choose the vertx over the follow. New technology or did not fancy the follow fiction? How do you find not having a control on trolley handle to move it as a back up. Appreciate any info you can offer
Excellent review. Thank you once again Peter.

@@petermrattray thanks again!
Great video Peter.. looks a good alternative to the Q if you dont use the follow function much

Can you let me know if these new rear wheels fit on your Q Follow?
Thanks! Love the videos, thanks for doing them 👍

I have a Q series have had a problem losing the Bluetooth pairing on the course, Has anyone else had this problem?
Does it have manual mode at all? Or how can one push or pull in a manual mode, where remote use is not recommended?

I tried to find the trolly on the app when searching for devices so i can check battery level and it doesnt come up. Any suggestions?
Press the 3 lines in the top left corner for the menu, and choose Bluetooth Connect. Your battery must be switched on to appear.

Is there a USB port on the trolley?
No - no additional ports.
