✅ What It’s Good For
Mobility in studio / location: Move your tripod + mounted equipment easily without lifting, e.g. switching shots, repositioning gear, moving over smooth floors.
Workstation / tethering setups: Very useful when using the Tether Table Aero or when you have a laptop / monitor mounted and want to roll around.
Versatility: Since it works with most tripods (round feet) and has adjustable base, it's fairly universal.
Stability when locked: With wheel locks + firm clamping of the tripod legs, you can get solid, steady setups.
⚠️ Limitations & What to Watch Out For
Floor Surface Dependent: Smooth floors let it roll easily; rough, carpeted, uneven or sloping floors may be harder.
Load + Tripod Strength: If your gear + monitor + accessories are heavy, and your tripod isn’t super rigid, you may experience sag or flex, especially when locked in.
Transport Bulk: Folded length is ~45 cm + wheels; not super small, so transport needs some space.
Tripod Foot Compatibility: Works with round tripod feet; some tripods have special feet or unusual designs which may not clamp nicely or may require adapter.
Locking / Safety: Must ensure all wheel locks are engaged when stationary, and tripod legs properly secured into the dolly – else risk tipping or shifting.
