how steady is this dolly ?if i'm filming on a rough street, will it be steady enough or will the result be a shaky image ?

The wheels on this dolly are not large or flexible enough for steady shooting on rougher terrain. For filming on a rough street i would suggest a steady-cam, jib, or outdoor dolly.

it really is not a pro standard dolly.... there is a lot of flex and the base is just too small. The small base results in not enough spread of the legs and makes the camera level unstable. I bought three of these and the only use we can find for them is on our telepromters. My advice ... avoid!

I've had this tripod for a while now. Rest assured it is extremely stable and precise. However if your video set up its too heavy you might want to ask your friends about it. I just handle landscape and slr related pictures not much video.

Sorry but no. That is too heavy. I returned this steadycam and bought a chinese made s40 stabilizer. It is built solid and worth the money for sure. With DSLRs, the s40 is what you need for steady vids. Get it on ebay for like 80 bucks. It is worth it.

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it

this item Zooms fine but its hard to keep steady, I you are going to use this item wile moving it than I would not recommend it but if its to take a video of something fare away this is a great item to look at.

Haven't used it a lot but never had the problem. It's not as stable as we'd like. We used the rubber track for the first time recently and my camera guy said it worked fine. Sound like a wd40 problem. :)

sorry what you mean movement? to which extent?it's heavy camera have some plastic parts, but still strong when i shake it juts move but not noticeable, this i think stabilization sensor but in fact i try this camera it's great i think you should check you warranty maybe you return it or change it

Hi Silvia. I have not found it a problem at all. Without the use of a tripod, nobody is perfectly steady. My shots come out clear. I have no complaints.

it is fairly stiff..it's not going to hold shape for action sports or anything but you would be able to walk without sudden movements with a go pro or cam of that sort i would think.

It is very stable. There is some wobble of course which is expected at this price point, but nothing major. The rubber feet retract exposing spikes which are perfect for outdoor shooting. There is also a stabilizing hook to further stabilize the shot.

Camera stays in place, no issues with the movement, just don't climb, you'll need an extra accessory for stability

Hi Phil: I bought mine some time ago. It came with the complete tripod, an extra quick release plate but no dolly. For outside use, it's heavy enough for wind, but its not the most rugged tripod so be VERY careful with it. However, if you get the optional D&S floor dolly, you'll have a very good, low end studio pedestal. This is what I primarily use it for.

The only movement you're going to get is if there is wind enough to move the WHOLE tripod. There is no 'play' in the joints at all and all locks are solid. This is not a very tall tripod, so the footprint is a little narrower. The gopro won't be a problem... I think in anything 15mph or less it will probably not so much as shudder in the wind.

It would work fine. You would need a good fluid head and good support from tripods or something but it would slide without shaking.

It's very sturdy. I'm pleased with it. I have a relatively small camera, I maybe wouldn't load a giant SLR with giant lenses on it. And watch it in the wind.

This is just a dolly on wheels, on which you base and fix tripod. The tripod is sold separately and quite tall to do what you want, especially if you mount it on dolly. however, don't count on it to be super smooth. unless your cam has super steady stabilisation system the end result will be shaky. so in sum, get a pro steadycam if you want to film someone while moving the camera.

If your camera has a regular tripod connecting point http://www.takegreatpictures.com/content/images/threaded_hole_tripod_mount.jpg it should be fine. I want to mention that this tripod is light so if you have a very heavy camera, it may still shake depending on the wind conditions. Other wise, for a point and shoot, this is actually a pretty good buy. A good judgement would be, if you are going for more professional look, professional tools (including a really good tripod) are necessary. But of for regular shots, this tripod works just fine!
