      Comments about Manfrotto 181B Folding Auto Dolly (Black):

      This dolly is built well and adapted well to my Diawa Slik DST 73 video tripod (also from B&H).
      I did have to use surgical rubber to insure positive lock to the tripod feet but was expecting that as this is a Manfrotto product and plan to get a Manfrotto tripod for it in the future when budget allows. But...it works well on smooth surfaces. We are making adaptor plates to mount 6 inch pnuematic tires to it for smoother movement on uneven surfaces such as deep/rough pile carpeting, concrete with cracks and asphalt parking lots. With current castors is easy to move and lock positively in place when shooting on smooth floors and adapts well to moving shots you'd expect to use a rail camera dolly for too!

        I have been using this Dolly in wedding, party, concert, etc. It helps seamless movement to cover every activities. Central pedal locking is one of the best features it has. I would give 5 star for this product had it built with little larger caster wheel.

          Comments about Manfrotto 181B Folding Auto Dolly (Black):

          I couldn't afford an expensive dolly and just wanted something that made the camera mobile for certain set ups. I saw this on B&H and thought why not. By the look of it in the picture I was expecting a small flimsy aluminum thing, but was pleasantly surprised by when I got it. It's not flimsy it's well made beefier than I expected. Tripod sits perfectly on it. I am very impressed with the breaks. It's like the studio breaks you press the pedal and all wheels lock in place. I love it I am just trying to find a nice carry case for it.
