The Hot Dog Bun Motor allows you to motorize optional YC Onion Hot Dog sliders to achieve smooth, consistent slides with assignable travel settings. It comes with four belts of different sizes, for use with four different Hot Dog sliders: the 24, 31.5, 39, and 47″ versions.

Using an iOS/Android companion app, you can assign A and B start and end travel points in both video and time-lapse modes. Settings such as speed and back-and-forth loop motion are also assignable. In time-lapse mode, you can adjust the frame rate, number of photos, interval time, exposure, damping, and other parameters. The motor also has onboard buttons for setting A and B start and end points directly without an app. The motor attaches to the slider carriage with included screws, and a corresponding belt attaches to the motor and to the two ends of the slider by quick release clip mounts.

The motor can also be paired with most DJI and Zhiyun-Tech gimbals by adding an optional YC Onion Interlink module to achieve 4-axis motion control. Gimbals such as the DJI RS 2 and Ronin-S, or the Zhiyun WEEBILL LAB, WEEBILL S, CRANE 3 LAB, and CRANE-M2, can be mounted on the slider carriage via the Interlink module, and then you can assign simultaneous motion settings for the slider and the gimbal from the same YC Onion app.

Battery and Power Bank Power

The motor can be powered by an optional Sony F550, F750, or F950 battery, or by an optional USB power bank, which would connect to a USB Type-C port on the motor. An F550 battery provides up to four hours of runtime, an F750 up to eight hours, and an F970 up to 11 hours. A 10000mAh power bank lasts up to three hours.

Shutter Control

Next to the USB Type-C port on the motor is a 2.5mm DC port for connecting compatible shutter cables (sold separately) for enhanced time-lapse capture with your camera.

Monitoring Screen

The Hot Dog Bun motor has a power button, stepless control knob, A/B buttons, and 1.3″ LCD screen that displays the status of select assigned parameters, so you don’t need an app to assign and monitor settings for basic A to B motions. The control knob lets you adjust speed and make various selections.

A/B Memory

The assigned A to B travel points are stored in the motor’s memory and can be used the next time. When these travel points are changed, the motor stores the new settings, replacing the previous ones.

Quick Release Belts

The included belts have integrated clips on the ends that allow them to be attached to the slider by quick release. A supplied Allen key is used to tighten the belt by tightening the corresponding belt screw on the end of the slider.

App Compatibility

The companion app is compatible with iOS 11.0 or later, and Android 6.0 or later. It can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. UPC: 810045380209
