Rated 1 out of 5

Pretty bad.

I just returned it. Arrived almost 3 months after the anticipated date. The first unit, right out of the box didn't work. I had to wait for a replacement item. It worked better but still very, very buggy. It wouldn't hold focus when I programmed moves. Framing would be slightly off from what I programmed. The framing and focus would drift even more if I did a repeat move, even though my camera was locked tightly and there was perfect, tight contact between the gear heads. The worst thing, in my opinion, you can only program 2 keyframes with a minimum time of only 12 seconds with the high-speed motor OR 40 seconds with the high torque motor. with only two programmable keyframes, those time intervals are ridiculously long. Build quality is also not very good. I ordered mine with the hard case and the packing foam started falling apart. Online instructional videos are not very informative or detailed. This item is not quite ready for serious users yet. Go with the Edelkrone which is infinitely better, cheaper, easier to program and use.
