Professional Pico Size Camera Slider for my Sony DSLR

I am very happy to share my experience and feedback on this Yelangu Tricycle Camera Slider. My side job is to provide a backup camera or video for local photographers at events. My gear collection consists of large and small aluminum tripods, weighted and motorized large gimbals to support my Sony Ilce series with bulky 16-105 lenses and a motorized camera rail. The track is pretty handy for getting some unique panoramic shots without shaking, but it's very large, time-consuming to set up, and impractical for close-ups or in tight spots where panoramic or carriage video is required. Using the little gimbal that holds the Go Pro or phone still gives you a slight jelly that's noticeable to the eyes of editors like me. This got me thinking about buying a small version of the camera or glider trajectory before the fall weekend events were scheduled. I wanted to stay under $100 and have even considered options that cost less than $50 but are manually operated. The hand-powered versions looked like larger versions of those tiny deck tech skateboards and featured a small swivel head that required me to screw in and remove a phone holder or camera mount. These types of heads didn't fit my large DSLR and were more suited to smaller cameras or a phone mount. This 3 is motorized and comes with a remote control that changes the direction or speed of the moving slider! It charges with a standard micro USB and has a large enough battery for any type of photo shoot. The battery indicator lets me know how much battery power is left and can be turned on and off with a handy power slide switch. Foldable with wheels for transport. This fold allows me to rotate these clips on the table with angle and circle rotation. The head is one of those strong, high quality versions that mount up or down to access two different thread sizes. So if I'm using the included phone or camera mount I'll use 1/4", but if I want to use my big swiss plate for a quick camera shutter release I'll use 3/8".
