3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for., April 2, 2008

So my Vanguard VTD-2 tripod dolly came today and I wasn't extremely impressed. It holds the tripod tightly so that's a good thing. But the wheels weren't too free moving, especially on uneven surfaces. I thought maybe loosening the nuts that were holding the wheels on, but no dice. Just as long as you use it on smooth surfaces you'll be just fine. It's not perfect, but good for beginners.

peace, love, happiness.

The "Vanguard VTD-2 Smooth Rolling Universal Video Tripod Dolly" is an affordable dolly that can be attached to your existing tripods (no tripod included). This functionality makes it ideal for video shooters who need to liven up shots with dolly moves, but don't want/need to invest in higher-end track/rail dolly solutions.

This works well on short carpet and smooth surfaces, but is bumpy and harder to move with even a little roughness. For this reason I would say only use it indoors and test your moves in advance of shooting (always a good idea anyway).

One other note, be sure to use a sturdy tripod since you should turn off your camera's automatic image stabilization.

Recommended, with the caveats noted above.

The tripod dolly is great for smooth surfaces but the wheels drag when on rough surfaces. However, for the price it is a great buy because it does the job.
