Compared to a dolly as the relative edging Pico Flex Dolly Photographyandcinema of which is to obtain here on Amazon for 109.95 or in the US for $ 99.00, the price will naturally be very tempting.
The scope of supply includes the Dolly with 2 adjustable axes and the articulated arm with only one screw in the middle of the adjustment on all axes allows.
The build quality is again expecting very good! The wheels are smooth rolling, all screw fit well and the material used is very stable. (The only drawback for initial use are not yet retracted wheels. Since these rubber wheels, similar to roller skaters, initially comprise rollers an easily visible and noticeable ridge in the center of the tread. I have these removed using fine sandpaper because I did not have the patience to wait until they have expired on its own.)
Other than that I really can not say anything negative about the processing.
I used to test an EOS 550D with a zoom lens. (Together approximately 1.2 kg)
When the camera of the supplied hot shoe mount falls on adapter, which must be removed in order to mount the camera via the tripod mount on the bottom. When the camera is first installed, it is possible this wonderful disguise in all axes and really screws using the advantageous large screw on the hinge arm bombproof! Top and bottom of articulated arm a ball joint connect simply rotatable connection with Zänen were each used in the middle which provides the necessary stability.
The articulated arm can on the Dolly a one of three threaded holes are fixed, which provides even more flexibility.
Now it was time to test the recording: By the simple adjustment I quickly tried many angles, and curves were easy to adjust and there are great shots originated.
Very important is an absolutely smooth surface. Every little unevenness leads to camera shake.
I'm going to have something to get inferior, slightly thinner toward foam, so I can film on not very smooth substrates. In order to take pictures as a slider on a tripod, I'm going to just a structure with a board tinker on 2 tripods and already is the variety of shots that can still expanding with a dolly can do for 35.99.
Just buy it from my side.
