Ok so maybe “rejoice” is a bit strong but this thing is pretty cool. First of all it reminds me of my skateboard days as a kid and that makes me feel good right away. Look at those wheels. Pretty sweet because you know by just looking at them they roll smoothly. HIgh quality wheels and bearings for sure. Precision carved metal- someone put some thought into this thing. Three ports for 11″ friction arms (friction arms are sold separately ) and other accessories. Three and half inches wide from wheel to wheel so that makes it super portable. (I kinda want to strap one on to each of my feet and dolly to work)Oh and get this, it’s only $69.00 and you can snag it right from Amazon.
Have a look at in action:
Some things to keep in mind is that the wheels will pick up any slight inconsistency on the surface that it rolls on so you want to be sure you have a smooth surface. Another thing to be aware of is that heavier DSLR cams actually make it easier to keep this thing planted. More weight means a stabilized shot. Sooo, for us iPhonefilmmaker guys and gals you might need to put a little weight on the deck of this thing when in use with a mounted iPhone 4 on an extended friction arm. Just food for thought everyone. All and all a very cool addition to the ever emerging ecosystem of gear for the iPhonefilmMaker. Do you have one? Have you shot with it? We would love to hear first hand what you think of it…
We look forward to your comments..
