Here’s what’s in the box:

* Dolly

* Canvas bag

Fit & Finish:

The frame of is all metal. The tripod attachment points are a combination of hard plastic and metal. The wheels are hard rubber with steel hubs. The canvas bag is cheap, but it’ll do the job…

Form & Function:

The attachment points can slide in & out to accommodate any tripod stance. You may have to adjust your tripod to get a good alignment & fit – this is good practice anyway to prevent binding and bending of your tripod legs & cross-members. The wheels have push-down locks to prevent them from rolling.

Summary:

I’m using this with the Ravelli AVT Tripod. This addition actually has helped to make that tripod more stable. The dolly wheels are good and roll with ease. However, the smoothness of these wheels could be better. But for the price, they are good.

I recommend the dolly in combination with the Ravelli AVT Tripod. This combo is a great bargain and provide features that cost hundreds more. For those on a budget, this is a great deal!

(Note: I have a Canon HF-S100 w/ a Rode VideoMic mounted on the AVT tripod. This dolly and tripod combo works great w/ the camera well.)
