Most so-called "video tripods" only allow cameras to rotate from a fixed point. Even linear camera movements require carrying additional sliders, which are cumbersome and restrictive. Videos produced with these methods, limited to rotational or straight-line movements, often appear dull and rigid. While specialized equipment offering true freedom of movement exists, it tends to be expensive, heavy, and impractical for small photography teams.
As an alternative, some photographers choose handheld stabilizers. However, operating these stabilizers can be physically demanding, as it requires continuous bending, adjusting height, and maintaining precise direction simultaneously. Additionally, repeated retakes are common—fixing one movement often causes errors elsewhere—leading to physical exhaustion, battery depletion, and significant frustration. The accumulated flawed footage also greatly burdens post-production workflow.
ROGETI® tripod wheels quickly convert the T32 tripod into a highly mobile camera dolly, weighing just 0.56 kg (including storage box). By attaching the horizontal center-column adapter (C32T) as a steering handle, you achieve precise control over camera direction. Combined with tripod heads equipped with tilt and pan handles (such as the RG-1), this setup enables sophisticated camera movements. After some practice, a single operator can easily produce impressive, professional-quality single-take footage.
On uneven surfaces, the setup can be used in conjunction with stabilizers. On smoother surfaces—like marble floors, polished concrete, or evenly tiled areas—smooth dynamic shots can be captured even without additional stabilization, especially when using smartphones or cameras with built-in image stabilization.
Additionally, many photographers find tripod wheels greatly improve efficiency during static shoots such as product or interior photography, enabling effortless adjustments to find the ideal perspective. For cityscape timelapses requiring large-scale dynamic movements, tripod wheels offer revolutionary improvements in convenience, speed, and creative possibilities.
