This is really good, I am enjoying using it, but seems a bit pricey for what you get. I'm sure this could be under £100.

I have a big 1.2M KONOVA tracking rig, which is great but cumbersome and fiddly to set up. This little marvel almost makes it obsolete for a lot of real word applications.Super easy to use and very smooth. With the app - which works well - you get beautifully ramped/feathered start and stop action too. Remarkable for the money.

You can set the movement on automatic where it travels in a linear motion so you can record yourself. You can also control the angle in which it travels so if you want it to continuously travel around an object it can. It comes with a carry bag and the dolly itself isn’t that heavy. You can control the dolly using the Neewer app which is super simple to install. It is very easy to use and it will make doing videos in your own or rather using the dolly instead of your hands to increase stabilization.

NEEWER has a rep for making high quality, seriously functional creator gear at value price points. I've got a ridiculous amount of their stuff for this very reason. Not much of a surprise that this is more of the same. I've tested it with a GoPro Hero 11, my Nikon DSLR and my Pixel 7 Pro and it worked great with all of 'em. The motor is really quiet which was a concern. I also chased my cat around the room with it, which we both enjoyed. I've just scratched the surface of what I can do with this but it's typical NEEWER--well made, highly functional, extremely versatile and sold at a serious value price point. Highly recommended!

Nach Erhalt des Wagens stellte sich heraus, dass der Akku fehlerhaft montiert war und anfangs Schwierigkeiten beim Hochklappen des vorderen Rads bestanden. Trotz erfolgreicher Bewältigung dieses Problems besteht weiterhin Unsicherheit bezüglich des Ladevorgangs. Ohne Handyverbindung meldet der Wagen einen leeren Akku, während er bei verbundenem Handy anzeigt, dass der Akku geladen ist. Trotz Kontaktaufnahme mit Neewer und Übermittlung sämtlicher angeforderter Informationen, einschließlich eines Videos zum Ladevorgang, scheint der Hersteller Schwierigkeiten bei der Problemlösung zu haben. Die Bitte um zusätzliche Dokumentation erscheint mir als verzögernde Maßnahme, die meine Verunsicherung verstärkt und den Eindruck erweckt, dass meine Anliegen nicht angemessen bearbeitet werden.

J'ai été vraiment agréablement surpris par ce petit dolly. Les mouvements sont trés propres, les vitesses bien étudiées. J'ai réalisé un clip promo d'un produit avec, le resultat est vraiment bien!

We'll get rid of his bag. There is a pretty good amount of weight here, we'll see about getting this on a scale to get the actual weight (2 pounds 4.7 ounces). The case here has a single zipper, which I'm not unzipping and opening up.Inside in the top mesh bag are some installation tips and motion tips, an instruction manual that is eight small panels on one side. Then another language on the other side. There is a USB-A to USB-C cable, this has a purple tip and there is a flag with a notice to only use this cable to charge the device. The first item is a cellphone mount that can do horizontal or vertical mount and has a spring mounted clamp to hold your smart device. It is able to hold a pixel 5 without issue. For the price point of this kit, I feel this should've been an anodized aluminum instead of the plastic, but this should hold up for quite a while. We have the ball-mount for your camera. It has a 1/4" 20 thread mount point.Now we will remove the motorized dolly, which is in a poly bag. Right here are the steering wheels. We will rotate this out 90 degrees to get a stable base for the dolly. I'm going to attach the ball-mount to the dolly. To turn this on we hold the power button for a few seconds. We have speed settings of 1-5. I see some status lights. If I press the left arrow button the dolly begins to move. Pressing the right button twice and it stopped. Pressing again to move in that direction. We can see the speed change from 2->5 is a little bit quicker.Now a quick demonstration of a dolly shot. The dolly is fairly silent and can sneak up on unsuspecting animals. Joking aside, this is a useful device. The existing Neewer smart phone app used for studio lights was able to find and connect to this dolly on the first try. The only negative thing I can say is that the smart phone clamp does not match the quality of the rest of this kit. I wish they would've included one of their anodized aluminum phone clamps.If you need some slow dolly shots, this could fit the need. There is no app-controlled steering, just speed in two directions. You can change the angle of the wheels to give a curving arc shot, but you my have some trial and error to get the path correct.I'm going to remove a star for these two limitations, which gives a final score of four out of five stars.Pros- Simple to use- Stable with my 80D SLR and my smart phone- App connectivity was simpleCons- Phone clamp is lower 'quality' than the dolly and ball-mount- No remote controllable steering- Fairly low speed even at fast setting- Slow charging (7-watt rate)
