Best modern lifts you could film STILL ON THE MARKET TODAY

After filming multiples of most of these lifts last year, I have come forth to showcase some of the best modern lifts you could film.

OTIS HydroFit

When it comes to hydraulic lifts, the OTIS HydroFit is probably the best one to film, because, despite being just a plain old modern lift, just like the ThyssenKrupp Endura, it does have a LOT of character, especially the MRL one. Not only that, but the OTIS HydroFit has a super loud epic motor which sounds like a tank going up & a submarine going down. For starter lift enthusiasts, this would be the first lift you'd want to film & upload to your YouTube Channel, as it is bound to earn you a lot of views, a successful kickstart to a photography career based on lifts & a bunch of subscribers! NTM, this is the perfect lift for lift filmers who favor hydraulic lifts over traction ones.
  • EPIC hydraulic motor
  • Jolts to full speed & to leveling speed
  • Efficient leveling time
  • Convenient speed for hydraulic (half a meter per second)

OTIS Gen2

The OTIS Gen2 is a standard ordinary MRL traction lift by its visual appearance. But how about the way it runs? The way it runs makes the OTIS Gen2 so unique, characterful & epic in so many ways. If you're into MRL traction lifts, Gen2 is a good choice for filming because it has been known to bring a lot of viewers & subscribers. NTM, OTIS Gen2 is a big hit for live streams as a lot of viewers tend to like OTIS products.

The Gen2 has been in production since 2000 & has been a big hit for the lift filming community ever since it was first filmed. Atlanta is a prime example of a city literally packed with OTIS Gen2 lifts, as 10-15% of the buildings have a Gen2 lift.
  • 3.5 second A/D
  • INTELLIGENT LEVELING
  • Predoors
  • You're flying

OTIS Skyrise & Elevonic 411/R

How could I describe the OTIS Elevonic 411, R & Skyrise? It is a freaking ROCKET! I'm not even kidding when I say rocket! The little flybox could be described only shortly as a science-fiction based vertically transporting catapult capable of transporting 100 tons of projectiles for 400 meters of blind shaft at a speed of over 15 meters per second. Now this may be as close to exaggerating as I could go, but, I'm not gonna lie, I have had FIVE different experiences on OTIS Elevonic 411's (one was 411M) last year, along with watching more videos of them on YouTube! It literally takes only 25-30 seconds to travel over 55 floors! Compare that to a NYC Transel traveling the same speed & taking 50-55 seconds to go two thirds that!

Enough with the bragging, the OTIS Elevonic 411 & Sky-rise is a genuinely fast lift! It is also known for having some of the fastest A/D's of any other modern traction lift. If you want to fly while filming a lift, this is the closest you will get to flying on video. Not to mention this lift makes for successful livestreams as everyone enjoys a genuinely fast lift like this! There are many classes of the OTIS Elevonic 411 lift by age, each being unique by the way it runs.

    • Started 1989
    • VERY FAST A/D (almost as if freefalling on the way down)

Schindler 400A/6400NA

For all you Schindler lovers, the first or next lift you want to film is a Schindler 400A / Schindler 6400NA. It accelerates very very quickly, has intelligent leveling & depending on how the motor is set up, the clunking brakes are amazing & loud! If you enjoy thrill at low speeds, this lift is perfect to film as it attracts a large group of viewers on livestreams & your YouTube videos.

Schindler 7000 & PORT / 500A & Miconic10

If you like high speed lifts, Schindler 7000 & PORT are your best FRIRNDS! These are perfect lifts to film as Schindler tractions have been known over the years to attract large YouTube crowds to your videos & your livestreams.

ThyssenKrupp Hydraulic/Endura

Words cannot describe the amazingness of TK hydraulic lifts. They are unlike any other hydraulic lift. They sometimes are so smooth you can't tell it's hydraulic unless you hear a roaring motor. The Endura is famous for its very loud & pristine-sounding motors & a lot of the lift community enjoys epic ThyssenKrupp motors. These are great first lifts to film.

ThyssenKrupp Momentum

ThyssenKrupp Momentums are known for their speed. Although they don't save as much time as OTIS Elevonic 411 & SkyRise high rise lifts, they are still ridiculously fast! If you tend to like genuinely high speed lifts, you SHOULD film a Momentum! They'll earn you lots of views & lots of subscribers! Most of your viewers for those videos are full-blown ThyssenKrupp lovers!
