It works...but there are some things to be aware of
This little device is pretty cool--I ain't gonna lie. I have a pretty nice slider--but it isn't motorized--so my movements are herky-jerky, and not always consistent.But with this little motorized thing--my camera movements are perfectly smooth... almost.This device has 3 speeds: Slow, slower, and slowerest. (Ok, fast, medium, and slow--I was trying to be funny).Anyway, I really like the slowest speed. The camera movement is so gentle, the video I create is mesmerizing. But--every little spec of dust on your tabletop surface transfers into the device, and up into your camera. If you're shooting 60fps or higher, you'll look like you were filming during an earthquake when you slow down your footage... just sayin'.To compensate, make sure you use this device on a really clean and smooth surface.I also roll this little device on its highest speed, then slow it down in post. That seems to help a bit.What helps the most, is using an image stabilized (IS) lens. Pop on an IS lens, and your footage will be earthquake-free.I love the little remote that comes with it. When I'm rolling film, I click the buttons, and the little desktop roller obeys. Nice. I can cycle through the speeds, pause movement, and reverse movement remotely--and never have to touch the unit itself.This thing feels like it's made out of cast iron. It's heavy. It's like a little tank. If I balance it just right, I can even put a Canon 1DX Mark II on this thing--but only with my 50mm f/1.8 (plastic fantastic). Popping on my 24-70mm makes it too top heavy, and this thing just tips over. I'm sure it wasn't made for a setup that big--but it was fun to experiment anyway.My biggest gripe about this little machine is that they didn't print tick marks where the wheel arms open up. I've seen lots of other (frighteningly similar) devices on Amazon with little hash marks printed on the hinge points--so you can make sure each wheel arm is at the same angle on both sides of the unit. Not so with this one. With this thing, you're flying by sense of smell--guessing at which angle to position the wheel arms--and hoping that when you reverse your movement, it'll follow the same track back to the starting point--which it never does--because I can't ever get both sides exactly equal. I eyeball it--and get close... but never exact...So do you have a smallish camera and lenses with image stabilization?This little machine has helped me create some pretty cool video clips--maybe it can help you too.***UPDATE***I originally wrote this review in May, 2020--and my copy of the unit didn't have hash marks as I noted above.I just noticed (September 2020) that ANNSM released an updated version of this gadget--now with hash marks printed on the arms. They also raised the price a tiny bit.So good on them for the update! I wish I had the updated version--I could really use those markings--but hey...first world problems...***END UPDATE***

Fantastically built. No support I can find.
Beautifully constructed on the outside. Inside, no so much apparently since my choice of speeds is one. Not sure if it’s slow, medium or fast but it’s all there is. I’d contact customer support before writing a review but...no clue how to find them. No email or phone ininstructions. Googling came up empty.UPDATEContinuing to experiment I now believe I do have all 3 speeds it is just they they are slow, slower and slowest with very little difference between them. But for tight work, it is very cool and smooth. Reasonable (more than) price for what you get. However, the apparent lack of any sort of customer support remains a serious drawback.

Helpful!
I love this little motorized camera dolly! I bought it for short video clips that I want to look buttery smooth. It gets the job done and I have no complaints. The dolly itself is very sturdy and well made. I do feel the remote is a tad cheap but it gets the job done so I really can't complain.The dolly has multiple speeds and is very quiet.

A very solid little unit
I love this thing. I make product videos. I use this in my studio all the time. I mostly use it to arc around the product to give a nice rotating view. It is as solid as a rock, easily handling a camera and lens and the remote makes it easy to control. I used to use a non-motorized version. This one is much better.

Awesome!
Big plus is that the remote control isn't direct IR so you don't have to point it anywhere specific. I'm sure you can also upgrade the wheels by using some tank tracks from a hobby store or something if you wanted to get more grip. Overall awesome purchase!

Not GoPro compatible
The product says it works for GoPro, there is no way to mount a GoPro to it... not sure what to use. Sort of misleading as it doesn’t come out of the box ready for a GoPro

I take it with me everywhere...
The media could not be loaded. We just returned from a cruise and I used it everywhere. We had out fireplace updated so I used it to show our new fireplace. Take a look at the video. It puts a smile on my GoPro.
