Review on Effortless Video Shooting: TARION Y5D Autodolly Electric Slider Motorized Pulley Car Cine Dollies Rolling Skater with Wireless Remote for DSLR Camera, Video Camcorder & Smartphones by Eric Wright

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Smooth shots in camera mounts and stabilizers

I had to work with video and even though I have a crane stabilizer I could never get a smooth round flight so I was looking for a good round slider. I paired it with a Sony A6300 and a ball head to get some height and it was perfect for the video I wanted to make. I like the cinematic circular motion and the remote control works very well. Two tips though: take a round square velcro and attach it to the remote and base so you don't lose the remote and replace it when not in use. (I wish they recorded that). Second tip: make sure everything you roll it onto is smooth. Initially we rolled it on smooth concrete and you could see some microjitter in the footage. We ended up using a smooth plastic board we bought at the dollar store.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Very expensive
