I never shoot video, but I watched this episode because of Chris's New Zealand accent and Jordan's clear explanation of this camera gadget. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely hilarious intro guys - really outdid yourselves. For a product I don't expect I'll ever need, this was a compelling coverage of it, convincing me to keep an open mind about it. And that's saying something. Thank you
Follow up question, with the original genie(not the genie one) when pairing it with the genie mini, was the "bounce back" function added and what cables were needed to connect the two devices? Huge thanks for your help.
Hey there, Syrp was bought by Manfrotto but they recently told me to heck off when I emailed for support. Said there is NO Syrp Lab team anymore and they are out of business. I might be able to help though. I have the Genie original you are asking about, not the "One", a genie mini, and a genie mini II. I use the "Syrp Sync" cable between the Genie linear and the mini, then the mini and mini II communicate over Bluetooth so I have a full 3 axis system. It is very buggy and I was hoping my support email would get me the firmware I needed to use my original Genie with the new Manfrotto motion app but it doesn't seem they want to help me.
Hey Dpreview, I've spent lots of time trying to get my brand new syrp genie one to connect to an iphone(six different phones and 2 ipads actually) and it keeps failing the required update. Can I download the FW and install it manually or something? Would love any help as I've bought this for a client and I need it to work for them but sadly the product is completely unusable out of the box.
As an Australian I think it's much better than half-half. (I have never lived in NZ but I have watched a lot of NZ television.) I'm so used to North Americans absolutely butchering Antipodean accents; usually it's somewhere between unrecognisable and a Paul Hogan impersonation. Chris did a lot better than most professional actors. There was a bit of South African peeking through at times but the bulk of it was definitely NZ and not Australian.
I’ll have to let the shocking intro and your somehow knowing and weird familiarity with things kiwi slide -pun haha- seeing as we are commonwealth cousins. God save the Queen eh
A Japanese ethnicity, living in Canada, with profound New Zealander Accent
How can we not love Chris ?
Best thing, which could happen to DPReview is Chris and Jordan in duo!
Watching this in New Zealand right now, you've got the accent down!
"It's really sweet as" You have earned your New Zealand citizenship

Preparing for an interview...
But who needs a job when I can watch DPReview
WOW. Aussie guy here... your NZ accent is GREAT!!!
Always great to see solo reviews with Jordan! Love your work guys
Nice Criterion shirt!
At first I thought something was wrong with my headphone
haha, me too 🤣 He's nailed the accent.
@@intheblues I wouldn't say that.
@@oneeyedphotographer It's pretty close but he needed to add Bro in there a few more times. lol
I vote Kiwi Chris for a whole review!! 🥝🥝🥝
Holy crap that accent was really really good, me sitting here wondering if you were from out there originally 🤯
As a New Zealander living in Canada this was offensive and amazing to me at the same time, I loved it! Is this what I sound like to Canadians?
Haha 😃 you guys are simply the best photo UA-camrs. Super funny and at the same time perfect information ❤️
Chris' Kiwi accent is spot on. A+
As a Kiwi, I loved that intro - disappointed that the Aussie joke got cut off :D :D Fantastic review guys, as usual :)
Impressed at the accent.
Will watch video later but just liked it for now because it's Jordan and Chrisnickels
5:15 solid focus on the tree
You’re so perfect. Why even point that out? What’s the point? Do you feel better now?

Can we decommission the first host and install Jordan permanently?
No
You got my thumbs up just from the intro alone LOL
Non-native speaker here confused for a while why I suddenly have problem understanding Chris. Well played. 🤦
Ah, I see Captain Camera's got a new gig.
Jordan, what gives at the 5:16 mark? Trusting your autofocus...so beginner... ;)
cool. but again that s1H blows me away. sa weeet. I see fish in that river.
is jordan filming from atop an indigenous burial site?
Why are the comments off in the last video?
Tendrán el tutorial con subtítulos en español?
@DPReview Jordan, are you still using the GH5 to film?

Damnit. You are good at the accent thing, Chris. Maybe it would be time for another Kai Wong episode?
Best intro ever
3:29 sorry, but what is this in Nocts?
Chris out-of-focus game is still going strong, eh?
What camera was used for this video?
Was it me or jordans camera wasn't focusing on him very much when he was speaking
How's the latency for the live drive system?
Can't decide which one is better: Kiwi Chris or Conspiracy Chris.
hahahhaa, bro... that accent! As a kiwi of the Maori persuasion, I salute you! :D
Crikey mate
Haha, I'm an Australian, but lived in NZ for a few years - your attempt is kind of half and half but pretty goddam good!

Chris: your kiwi accent is attractive. Could you do the review with it from now on? At least for a while.
Syrp is a great product. Also one of the most expensive on a market.
So without a phone this thing is useless? Like most drones?
Sweet as!
Love the accent 👍🏾
I found this episode offensive due to the bait and switch. I was so looking forward to Nickels doing the entire episode in Kiwi.
Thanks for sharing.
This is so funny, thank you guys 👍🏻
I laughed too much at the intro. I am SO immature.
Great review. Thanks!
Haha. You are really hilarious, Chris! Can't vouch the acccent as I'm not from NZ! 👍🏻
Gold
Nice! Late night viewing
Hahaha that's a pretty good accent. I wonder how long he practised...
As a non-native english speaker I was wondering what was different. Then I saw Chris was holding a Syrp Genie instead of a camera. Duh!
Dude I don’t think you understand how confused I was
Nailed the accent. Hilarious.
We are all a part of the Commonwealth. It's fine.
The intro is PERFECT because no AUSSIE or KIWI will get offended like Americans
This company is out of business now. I'm so sad I have a full slider setup and Manfrotto refuses to help.
For God sake Chris, try listen to Korg from Thor Ragnarok if you want to sound like the real Kiwis
I’ll have to let the shocking intro and your somehow knowing and weird familiarity with things kiwi slide -pun haha- seeing as we are commonwealth cousins. God save the Queen eh
Rumour is it's made of Marmite.
That's an Australian accent not New Zealand.
Ummmmm......yeah man.....everyone knows
Sounded Australia to me. Dirty cheating ball tampers.
Peter Fort It was meant to.....
Do they sound different?
It had a mix of both I reckon.
That accent....😀😀😀
But culturally insensitivity is way more entertaining, noo! I want Chris back !
More of an Aussie accent 😂
You have to roll your R’s more for a Kiwi accent.
I am very offended. The remark about Kiwi's and sheep is totally wrong an offensive. It is perfectly natural!!!!! From a very angry kiwi
How does a Kiwi find a sheep in long grass?
Very nice thank you.
Can Chris say fish & chip in his Kiwi accent?
_"I'm aboot to visit the fush and chup shop!"_
Like for the kiwi accent XD
Hahahah
Slightly less cringey than his South African accent but that's a low bar
What are you doing? Don’t do anything til you give the R5 and A7SIII reviews, I know you have both! 🤨
@DPReview Jordan, are you still using the GH5 to film?
