I've been using the Orbit Dolly by Digital Juice for about three years. I do this review primarily to show you what to expect in the real world, where you might be shooting documentary-type footage. On the smooth floors of a studio the Orbit dolly is fantastic, but I often have to shoot on sidewalks or in parking lots. When used with Premiere Pro CC's Warp Stabilizer you can get some pretty satisfying tracking-type shots, even over moderately irregular surfaces. The only significant problem I experience with the Orbit dolly is drift. It's hard to make it roll 100% straight. Over 20 feet of roll it can drift as much at 2-3 feet off course. Still it's one of the best options for quick and easy dolly shots in the field.
