Videomaker's 2009 Best Camcorder Support: Omni-Tracker Slim Line Dolly Review (page 2)
Summary
Bottom line, the Omni-Tracker's unique design and small size creates high-end shots at minimal financial cost. A big plus is that once you have built your table, you are free to go where no dolly could go before. We were very pleased with the results we got. While the dolly platform table adds bulk to your equipment load, having it pre-made cuts set-up time in the field. We found that with just a little practice, the lyrical moves of this little gem make it well worth the investment.
