Not very smooth rotation

I used this for my product videos. I liked that it has more weight capacity than the famous ComXim brand. The build quality feels good. Then I turned it on. I will say it's pretty quiet. It gets louder the faster you go. At a very low speed, you CAN use it in a video where you're recording audio at the same time, e.g. B. a voiceover. Everything faster and it gets too loud. It happens in a rotation where it fails. It just doesn't have a smooth engine. It's thin, but it seems to move in pulses. You won't see too much of it just by looking at it. But put something on it that needs to be properly balanced to stand on and you'll see it wobble back and forth. For example, I took a laptop hard drive and put it on top. Then it was easy to see him rocking back and forth. This happened regardless of the speed I set it to, but was certainly worse at higher speeds. This basically makes it useless to me and would be useless to anyone who needs a nice smooth spin. The lack of smooth rotation is a major downside considering they sell video footage of this product. At this price, this thing should offer MINIMUM smooth rotation. I could see this only being useful for something like a front glass display where super smooth rotation isn't necessary. Against this background, I simply cannot recommend this player.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
