Customer Reviews
Something worth buying if you really want an affordable dolly
I really thought about what to buy among the different "same-priced" dollies available on Amazon. They all looked the same to me from the pictures, actually. I was skeptical about this one because no one left a review yet but I thought I'd take the chance, since I'm really in for affordability (this is the cheapest out there I think).
First off, the material with which it was made doesn't look or feel cheap at all. It is very easy to setup (5 minutes tops) and also easy to put away. I was really glad it came with a bag for it to carry around, that was a bonus for me! The product is very easy to use PROVIDED the floor on which you roll it is also smooth. DON'T EXPECT it to glide smoothly on uneven surfaces (duh). The wheels are made of steel and are rubberized (I think this could be a problem after years of use). They can also be locked in place and is very useful if you want a more sturdy tripod.
My only problem with it is the noise it makes when rolling around really fast. In any case, I thought I'd just edit those out. If you want an affordable and good quality dolly then this one is a must buy. FOR THE PRICE it comes with, it surely is worth it. Just don't expect a hundred dollar quality out of this one. If you're a pro, then I guess you would just have to invest on something with a higher rated quality.
