Joby JB01642-BWW Swing Bluetooth Electronic Smartphone Slider

The JOBY Swing (JB01642-BWW) is a compact, motorized electronic slider designed specifically for smartphone content creators. Rather than relying on manual sliding, the Swing uses a Bluetooth-connected motor controlled through the JOBY Motion app on iOS or Android, allowing you to program precise, repeatable movements for video, b-roll, and motion timelapse sequences. The slider's total travel distance is 380mm with a minimum resolution of 0.03mm, meaning it can execute extremely slow, smooth movements that would be nearly impossible to achieve by hand. Maximum speed tops out at 10mm per second, keeping the emphasis on controlled cinematic motion.

Weighing just 290g and measuring 2.36 x 7.68 x 4.13 inches, the Swing is built for portability. A standard 1/4"-20 male thread on top accepts a smartphone mount, while a 1/4"-20 female thread on the bottom lets you attach the slider to tripods or the JOBY RangePod Smart for elevated shots. The maximum payload is 600g (1.3 lbs), which comfortably supports virtually any smartphone. JOBY notes that phones with optical image stabilization may produce artifacts at slow speeds, and recommends using the front-facing or ultra-wide camera for optimal results.
