Review on SK-22 Professional Skater Dolly for πŸŽ₯ Digital SLR Cameras & Video Camcorders by Vidpro by Dave Hess

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Conditionally recommended

After reading the reviews on this car, I wanted to give an objective review. Overall I'm moderately impressed with this car. It's smooth, quiet, and rolls straight (or around corners, if you need it). It was a good buy for the money, but there are a few things to note. First, the handle is so short that it's practically useless unless you want to bend down while moving the cart. Also, it's chintz. Grab a good long selfie stick with a tripod screw and you're good to go. Second, don't expect to drive a cart; Once set, it will move in that direction and that direction only. Trying to control direction with the stick was useless. That's not going to happen, especially not for $40. I will say that this cart is well built, heavy enough to be stable and as mentioned before it is smooth and quiet on both hard and soft surfaces. The results you get with it are great. This is the perfect size for a medium sized camcorder. Presumably this will work for a DSLR, but I think it's too small and light for even a modest DSLR setup. Your mileage may vary. I'm glad I bought this because I have some Sam Raimi style low angle shots for a short I'm working on. It was worth the price for these specific results alone, but obviously this car is good for a lot of recordings and projects.

Pros
  • Features: The Vidpro SK-22 has an integral base plate with seven ΒΌ"-20 threaded mounting points that can be used for extensions, ball joints or cameras. It also includes a 27-inch retractable handle and magic articulated arm for convenience.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
