YC Onion HOTDOG 3.0 Motorized Slider (120cm)

The YC Onion HOTDOG 3.0 Motorized Slider (120cm) is a versatile motion control tool designed for smooth, repeatable camera movement in both video and timelapse shooting. With an attachable motor, app control, and high load capacity, it supports a wide range of camera setups from mirrorless to heavier rigs.

The system can be used fully motorised or switched to manual operation by removing the belt and motor, offering flexibility across different shooting scenarios.

Who this is for

• Videographers and filmmakers needing controlled motion
• Timelapse shooters requiring repeatable A/B movement
• Content creators working with heavier camera setups
• Users integrating sliders with gimbals for multi-axis motion

At a glance

• 120cm motorised slider with detachable motor
• Up to 20kg horizontal load capacity
• App control with A/B points and timelapse settings
• Manual operation option with removable belt
• Compatible with selected DJI and Zhiyun gimbals

How it works

Motorised slider system
The included motor mounts directly to the carriage and drives movement via a quick-release belt system. This enables smooth, consistent slides with adjustable speed and programmable movement.

A/B motion control
You can define start and end points (A/B) either via the onboard controls or the companion app. This allows repeatable movements, looping motion, and precise shot planning.

Timelapse functionality
In timelapse mode, the system allows control over interval timing, frame rate, exposure, and shot count—helping create controlled motion timelapse sequences.

Manual or motorised operation
The motor and belt can be removed quickly, allowing the slider to be used manually when needed.

Multi-axis integration
The slider can be paired with compatible Zhiyun gimbals directly, or DJI gimbals via an optional Interlink module, enabling coordinated multi-axis motion from a single app.

Mounting and support

• 3/8"-16 mounting screw on the carriage for heads
• 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads underneath for tripod mounting
• Adjustable feet for stable placement on uneven surfaces
