Small but sturdy. I love the time lapse videos it creates and it's affordable!

This car doll has become my new favorite toy since I got it! I've always wanted to be able to create smooth, beautiful product review videos, but it's not an easy task when you're just using your hands. Because of this, I've been able to create videos that look a lot more professional (although I'm an amateur) and are a lot more engaging to other viewers. Unlike videos shot with a handheld camera, there is little to no bounce, allowing viewers to enjoy the video instead of being distracted by poor footage. It is not only light but also not bulky. This allows me to attach it to my camera (even when wearing it around my neck). So it's ready to go right out of the box when I want to switch to video mode. The product description claims it can hold up to 11 pounds, but because it's so small I was a little worried about its ability to hold such a large DSLR in addition to a bulky lens. It's not a problem at all. I use a Canon 24-70mm ultrasonic lens. It dangles a bit from the front of the wagon (maybe about 5-6 inches), but tipping over wasn't an issue either. One thing I would like to point out is that one of the stock photos shows a mount for your phone. It's not included but I use a phone mount that works great. The orange rings on the wheels fall off easily. It is best to be careful when using and/or wearing it as there is only one spare. My remote arrived with a dead battery (so if yours doesn't work, start there. Requires a 3V CR2032 battery.) The remote is unmarked but easy to find out. With the top circle button you can stop and move. With the left and right buttons you can control the direction and choose between 3 speeds. The two front wheels can be adjusted so that the trolley moves straight or in a circle. The only downside is that there are no markings to show if it's lined up correctly. You may need to readjust the wheels a few times until they move exactly how you want them to.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Crumpled
