It looks good, and probably the intentions are there, but honestly, I was a bit disappointed. The construction is solid, the cheeseplate with many mounting options is very nice. Being able to lock in wheel angles is good. However, the wheel material is a soft rubber, which actually doesn't keep a straight line. I also feel that the alignment of the wheels isn't spot on. It was frustratingly difficult to push a straight track with this thing. We were on a wide shot, with very strict visual lines, so trying to keep a straight track was hard and easy to see the deviations from the straight line. Could be one or a combo of my cons listed above. If used in a situation where there aren't any visual cues to align the shot with then maybe this would be better, such as close up product shots with a washed out white or black background or organic background. Any straight lines that you want to keep to in your shot will be hard to stick with.
